M (a) X and C ( >) M. Ï02 (6) X. 3 These figures relate to the share of the Budget of the International Labour Organisation borne by Member States. The total Budget, which includes the part borne by States not members of the League, is 1 1, 5 2 1, Swiss francs for The total expenditure was 4,8 6 1, ; the difference was borne by States not members of the League. 5 This special credit provides for arrears of salaries of Judges amounting to 1,2 0 7, florins (1,9 9 2, Swiss francs) and also 1 1 6, florins (1 9 2,3 0 5 ) to meet contractual liabilities resulting from the winding-up of the Court.

4 - 5 - Part I. SECRETARIAT A. INTRODUCTORY NOTE BY THE ACTING SECRETARY-GENERAL 1. The O rdinary Budget for 1946 am ounts to 3,122,441 or 4,376 less than was voted for But the Budget also includes provision for a Special Credit of 1,278,000 to meet statutory and contractual liabilities in the event either of the assimilation of the Secretariat staff to the United Nations Organisation or of their discharge. Although provision has been m ade for staff salaries for the full year 1946, it is intended th at, should an assimilation with the U nited Nations Organisation take place during the year, the contributing States will be credited w ith the unexpended part of the provision. 2. A credit of 100,000 has been provided under item y(a) in case the reopening of the Eastern Bureau of the H ealth Organisation should be decided upon, but half of this credit will be obtained by the use of part of the reserve of the Bureau. 3. The increase in the credit provided in item 11 for salaries is due to annual increments, to the increase in special tem porary allowances and to a higher provision for tem porary staff in consequence of the return to headquarters of the various services abroad. The establishm ent of the Secretariat for 1946 shows a reduction of one post. 4. The credit under item 12 (other staff expenses) shows a reduction of 139,400 due to the decrease of the credit for repatriation and removal expenses (sub-item (d)). It is to be noted th at the latter credit is to m eet expenditure in connection with the repatriation of officials who left the Secretariat in 1939 and 1940 but have not so far been repatriated and for the removal of their furniture. 5. The credit for office expenses under item 13 is higher by 52,600 than the credit for 1945, the increase being due to the rise in the cost of upkeep of the buildings, and to the necessity for replenishing exhausted stocks (oil, stationery, etc.). The credit provided for in sub-item A.4 (heating) shows an increase of 10,000 francs, as compared w ith 1945, owing to the rise in prices. Practically nothing was spent in 1944 out of the credit provided under that sub-item. This was due to the fact that the fuel necessary for the winter season 1943/44 had been bought at the end of 1943 and charged to the budget for th at year, whereas the premises of the Secretariat were heated during the winter season 1944/45 from stocks. It will be necessary to replenish these in Taken as a whole, C hapter III of the estimates shows a decrease of 33, The credit under item 21 for account of the Library has been increased by Swiss francs, the present revenue of the Endowm ent Fund being insufficient to enable the Library to keep its collections up-to-date, especially in view of the fact that prices for books, periodicals and binding continue to rise. 8. The credit provided on the Revenue side under (d) corresponds to the share of the U nited States of America towards the expense of the League opium work for A sum of 85,824 has been brought in on the Revenue side by a release of the balance of the 1940 voluntary contributions of the staff to meet part of the expenditure in connection with the special temporary allowances.
