A Brookings Institution report argues the United States can fund its vast defense program without increasing the public debt if national income stays around 85 billion dollars annually for three years and taxes are raised. Dr Harold G Moulton says balance is possible with prudent policy during the emergency, limiting military spending, cutting non military outlays, and broadening the tax base.

Hull argues the 1938 neutrality act must be updated as the European war shifts. He asserts the Hague convention is not controlling since Germany and Italy are not signatories, and cites Denmark and Norway treaties as insufficient protection.
