Houston declared thta new bonds must be issued or increased taxes levied to meet the revenues neces- sary to aid the soldiers. Either step “presents a situation that we might not be able to handle,” the secretary said, Either step would increase the cost of living, because credit expan- sion would follow, he said. “If congress is determined to enact this legislation, it would be better to raise it by taxes rather than bonds,” Houston said. “The proposal to expend a sum of from one to two billion dollars would be v aery serious situation for the people to confront, I am not alarm- ed at the prenent financial situation, but ft must be handled carefully.” Houston backed up recent state- ments of congressional leaders that taxes cannot be reduced materiaily for a long time.
