These direct war expenditures are in addition to $11 billion that will be spent for military payv and subsistence and $7': billions for muni- tions, including equipment and operations. Among the more important items within the cate- gory of miscellaneous war expenditures are the cost of canceling war contracts and the cost of returning mili- tary personnel from the European and Pacific theatres to separation centers and then home Expenditures declining for contractual services such as the stockpiling of strategic materials and ocutlays for civilian pay in Federal war agencies. The cost of settling contracts, however, is expegted to account for outlays of between $4 and $5 billion, Unsettled contracts at the end of September totaled $37 billion, inclding War Department contracts for $24 are certain military billion, Navy Department for $11 billion and almost | $1 billion each for the Maritime Commission and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The rate of settlement of these contracts is ex- pécted to be stepped up from the recent rate of about $1 billion a month to $4 billion a month before January. Only a small fraction of the value of con- | | suspect is being I‘he w ash i n g Ion ‘ ca;\z‘ (:":v‘, when Merry - Go- Round of New York, former ‘Truman | for the figures, | ment replied that | tracts terminated cash disbursement; ‘l;mzvr part represents cancellations of orders for future deliveries for which no costs have been incurred by the contractor. It is hoped that most of the settle- ments for contract termination, amounting in total to $4-$5 billion, will be made by next June Except for small occupation for , the 3.6 million American soldiers in Europe on V Day and the 18 million in the Pacific on V-J Day are expected to be back in the United States by next summer. It costs | about $100 to bring a man from Europe to an East Coast port and twice that to return a man from thg | Pacific to the West Coast. Additional expenses are incurred to transport him to a separation center and to pay his fare home. There are other miscellaneous war expenditures that will hold steady for some time yet, mainly those items other than military pay and subsistence that are necessary to maintain Army camps and supply depots, naval shore establishments, occupation posts | and separation centers, Included here are light, water, | | other public utilities and ail sorts of miscellaneous supplies and contractual service: | These are a few of the reasons why the government | is conducting the current Victory Loan campaign which | will be over in a few days.

Neither the War Department nor the Navy Department has any | reason to take pride in the pedestrian bureaucrats who | staffed their intelligence services before Pearl Harbor Nor were they in close cooperation. To be sure, much | | work had been done, and a great mass of data accumulated. But it was a minute fragment of what | needed to be done. Since December 7, 1941, a revolution has come in our intelligence services and their methods and rela- | tionships to one another. The most complete and | smooth-functioning cooperation to be found in the | Army and Navy is probably in the Joint Intelligence Service. In addition, civilian agencies were developed, | thefe © @ @« 6 6 2 0 0 0 o ® o e December 6, 1945 © o Gaylord Hansen Norma Burns Mrs. Gust Nurmi Nora B, Chase Mrs. R. E.
