This is six times the total of the debt of 1939. There can be no denying the fact that this tremendous cbligation will place a heavy | financial load on the shoulders of every American | during the coming years. However, things are not as bad as they might seem, for—as w d--debts are easy to pay if you have the money. And the United States, while she owes more now than at any other time in history, also | has a greater national income than ever before istimates for 1945 set the total at $150,000,000,000. Eeenomists hope that an annual national income of | $145,000,000,000 can be maintained when the war is over and normal production again is in swing. If these hopes are realized the government will have little difficulty in reducing its obligations— | although, of course, our taxes will continue at high | levels. But if the national income falls again to the starvation levels of 1932—when it went below the $40,000,000,000 mark—then it will be nip and tuck to keep the United States from financial ruin. Since the beginning of World War II we have increased our national debt six times over. That, in itself, is frightening unless we consider the debt in- creases between 1916 and 1919. In those three yvars America boosted her obligations 20 times nv(r—nnd lived to tell the tale?

(New York Times) ] The cost of running the Federal Government after !the war is estimated in a study published by the | Brookings Institution at $22,300,000,000 a year. This would be abeut three times as great as the annual ‘upnndmm‘s in the 1938 fiscal year, about six times as great as such expenditures in 1928 and about | twenty times as great as the cost of running the Federal Government in 1917. The Brookings study, like others that have been | made along the same lines, cannot pretend to be any- thing better than intelligent guesswork. It tries to estimate what will be spent on national defense, on | | veterans' benefits, on highway grants, on agricultural | | aids, on public assistance—and all these expenditures | depend upon the policies that Congress and the | Administration will adopt. (The Brookings estimate |is exclusive of social security expenditures.) Yet when we try to guess the probabilities item by item, most of the Brookings figures look like esti- mates of minimum rather than of maximum probable | expenditures. If the spending philosophy embodied in the Murray bill were adopted, for example, post- ‘rw.u Federal expenditures could be indefinitely greater }(h.\n tie Brookings total. One significant conclusion | reached by the study is that though the Federal Gov- | ernment would need $5,000,000,000 a year in 1949 to | meet interest charges alone on its debt, even this will | | not represent the primary post-war fiscal problem. will be, rather, the “large and growing expenditures” for all functions of the Government. The service of such a study is that it helps to| | bring us back to realities. The great post-war problem | will be to bring the Federal budget into some sort of | control. It will be to bring expenditures down to a | | reasonable point where the budget can be balanced. Unless we do this, we shall either have to continue | taxes so heavy that they discourage business activity, | and so undermine the whole structure of production upon which the real income and welfare of all of us | depend, or we shall have to continue a budget of ficit that could lead to an uncontrolled inflation. Yet while this is the real problem that we have | to deal with, we find many of our public officials, | | Federal, State and local, busy devising governmental | | spending schemes to increase monetary purchasing | power (already far in excess of the volume of clvllmn‘ | goods) and to 1)1e\mt “deflation.” | —— AF RTINS | Footnote to History (New York Times) History often has a way of repeating its patterns | closely. Forty-seven years ago on May 1 Commodore | | Gecrge Dewey destroyed the Spanish squadron of | Admiral Montojo in the Battle of Manila Bay and | thereby made certain the course of the war in the Far East against Spain. But he had no landing force {with him and was forced to wait until August 13 | (Bast Longitude Time)—the day peace was signed, but before it was known there—before opening the ]campawn against the Spaniards ashore. For many months now in the western Pacific our | fleet and air force have been able to go wherever ' they pleased, and when, so complete a control of the sea have they won. But now as in 1898 that| alone is not enough. The fleet must wait for the foot scldier to come to win the final victory. t Controlling the Budget | de Colleagues accuse Sch.ndler\ opens or closes a window.
