Ordinary revenue of 11,288,790,000 yen and special revenue of 2,039,601,000 yen (13,328,391,000
yen total) are in excess of
total expenditure by 515,506,000 yen, which amounts to 12,812,885,000 yen. Expenditures
consisted of ordinary expenditures of
9,243,578,000 yen and special expenditures of 3,569,307,000 yen. How we will look
into the contents of the budget.
Ordinary revenue consists of the general tax, which is estimated at 8,187,000,000
yen and which shows a decrease by
2,558,000,000 yen compared with that of 1944 - 1945. Local taxes to be collected are
estimated at 165,000,000 yen, which shows
a decrease of 99,000,000 yen. Stamp duty is estimated at 272,000,000 yen, while the
amount of special revenues consists of a
special profit tax amounting to 705,000,000 yen (decrease by 1,954,000 thousand yen).
No income is expected from bond issues.
Last year we issued 11,400,000,000 yen worth of bonds. Special revenues such as profits
from monopoly enterprises, taxes on
printing and so forth will amount to 942,000,000 yen (a decrease of 1,245,000,000
yen). Items showing increase are fees paid
for utilization of national property, which is estimated at 19,000,000 yen, and miscellaneous
revenue of 1,227,000,000 yen, an
increase of 888,000,000 yen.
A drastic cut in auxiliary expenditures was put into effect and except for expenditures
of the Imperial Household, the
Department of Justice, and the Department of Education, the curtailment in expenditures
realized by administrative
readjustments will be just about cancelled by an increase in the salaries of Government
employees. Table of General Accounts

ITEM 2 A Huge Quantity of Drugs Manufactured from the Present Stock of Medicines will be Shipped - Mainichi Shimbun - 6 Jan 46. Translator: S. Iwata.
Full Translation:
The famous medicines of JAPAN have been declared an effective collateral security
for imports. Our usual annual production of
the basic medicines is as follows: 37,000,000 kilograms of inorganic medicines, 26,700,000
kilograms of synthetic medicines,
28,700,000 kilograms of, vegetable medicines, 170,000 kilograms of internal medicines,
and 700,000 kilograms of vitamin
medicine. The materials depend largely upon importation.
Drug manufacturing companies are trying to use their stocks of medicines as well
as their factories so as to meet the people's
demand. The TAKEDA Drug Manufacturing Company (TAKEDA SEIYAKU) of OSAKA is the first
to resume its former business. The famous
and most valuable medicines are now being manufactured, and will soon be shipped.
