A. — Budgetary Statement
The Swiss budget is divided into two sections : the administration account
and the extraordinary account. Receipts from the extraordinary account at
present are derived from the taxation of war profits. The extraordinary expen-
ditures arise from unemployment, a subvention to the Federal Railways, and an
insurance subvention. In 1922 this ordinary account produced a surplus of
46,782,418 Swiss francs. In 1923 it showed a deficit of 28,935.211 Swiss
francs and in 1924 a deficit of 20,450,000 Swiss francs.
The status of the administration account is given below :
