fWar Costing 260 Million Dollars
Every Day, Treasury Finds
The United States Treasury
plans to borrow 15 billion dollars
:in the Third War Loan ill order
to pay the rapidly mounting costs
jof war expenditures. Tlle war is
llpw costing us 260 million dol-
‘ lars a day, or more than 10 million
dollars an hour. President Roose-
velt's budget calls for an expendi-
ture of over 100 billion dollars in
the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1943, the largest annual budget of
any nation in the world‘s history.
“Where will this money come
from?” is the question most fre-
quently heard from persons whose
imagination is staggered by the
magnitude of the nation‘s war
financing operations. The answer
is simple. It will be available in
the approximate 24 billion dollars
of savings of individuals who will
be earning 74 billion dollars dur—
ing the last half of the year. The
Treasury is going after the great- I
e'st portion of these savingsbe—
cause it is necessary to get this
money either through Bonds or
taxes, not only to finance the, war,

1 Deficit Matches Surplus
1 Every dollar that is spent on
‘war equipment produces a dollar»
of income. This income may find
its way into the hands of individu-
‘als, into corporation profits or re-
serves, or it may be paid to the
government as taxes. It is im-
portant to remember that some.-
body gets a dollar of income for
ievery dollar of goods produced.
I If individuals and business
firms and corporations receive
l more income than there are things
produced for them to buy, then
'cxcess funds arise. At the same
itime, the government will neces-
jsarily be 'reCeiving less in taxes
ithan it is spending. Tllus, it all
boils down to the fact that the
igovernment deficit is matched by
{the combined surplus of everyone
else.
During the Second War Loan
idrive in April, the Treasury asked
lindividual investors to buy 2.5 bil-
llions of Bonds, and they bought
33.3 billions. In September, it is
tasking them 'to buy practically
i twice as much. It is a tremendous
ibut not an impossible task. The
:incomes received by the Ameri-
} can people will be so much great-
ler than the sum total of things
ithat they can buy, that money
iwill be at hand to purchase the
inecessary Bonds and still pay
ltaxes, life insurance, mortgage,
lobligations, doctor and hospital
lbills, and provide the necessities
30f life.
Plan is Voluntary
While the Treasury’s goal for
individual investors is more than
twice as large as it was in the
;fll‘St six months, that does not
ihecessarily mean that every fam-
iily is going to have to set aside
larbitrarily more than twice as
lmuch. Under the voluntary plan,
I, the Treasury leaves it to the fam-
iilies themselves to decide how
gmuch they can spend for Bonds.
:Obviously, some family groups,
lwherevextra workers are profit-
lably employed, are in a better
iposition to buy War Bonds than
families who either haVe heavy
lpre-war commitments, such as
{real estate payments and insur-
iance, or whose income has in—
!creased little during the war per-
l iod.
! Many people already are putting
thigh percentages of their pay in-
lto War Bonds. Some women in
lwar jobs, with husbands work-
ling, are investing nearly all their
ipay in War Bonds. Other family
Igroups, with two or more wage
9, earners, .are investing 25 per cent
lor more of their combined in-
!comes. While some families are
1 making real sacrifices to buy War
lBonds and help their government,
.the large majority of individual
investors is not yet purchasing
Iall the bonds which it is capable
iof buying, and this is the group
which the Treasury must reach to
attain its goal. ,
The Treasury believes that when
ithe urgency of the need is ex-
;plained to the American people
fthat they'rwill' respond to its ap<

{stand formation in his civilian
{clothes which was doubly discon-
icerting to him he recalls, inas-
lmuch as it made him so conspi-
l‘cuous he was always an easy tar-
get for details, and once picked,
ithere was little chance of getting
iaway with any “goldbricking.”
I Today, his wardrobe problem is
fairly well solved, but his squad-
ron basketball team, which could
make use of his height, bemoans
the fact that there isn’t an avail-
able pair of shoes in the entire
area to fit his size 15 feet.

Mr. Cortright states, “that when
the Fortress Europe has been suc-
cessfully stormed, the latter phase
of the war will be one largely of
naval and air power. With the
combined fleets of Italy, France,
Germany, England and the United
States, a blockade of Japan must
be established. As all octupus can
be killed only through the heart,
disregarding the tentacles, so must
the Mikado‘s empire be destroyed.
No immense force of soldiers with
tanks and land fighting equipment
generally will be necessary.
