Copenhagen, Jan. 8.
The Berlin correspondent of the "Politiken" writes today that Field Marshal Goerings first task, as Nazi economic dictator, is to secure fresh funds for war purposes.
The writer adds: "The last war cost Germany 35 milliards of marks a year. The present war is costing about 50 milliards, exclusive of ordinary state and municipal expenses.
"Customs and other ordinary revenues yield 28 milliards of marks a year, but now 50 milliards have to be squeezed out the population."
During the war with Poland, says the correspondent, 2% million men were called up, and reliable calculations indicate that 4% million men are now under arms. The correspondent also mentions that it is predicted in Berlin a tax on savings will be one of the new taxes to meet war needs.—Reuter.
