Congress May Out-Spree For In Boosting Defense Budget
The piece argues that in an election year Congress may increase defense spending despite fears. It outlines debates over Roosevelt's 8.24 billion dollar budget, the proposed naval and emergency defense appropriations, and probes into defense and foreign policy while noting a jittery stance toward Japan and Europe. It highlights committee actions, the Guam fortifications, and the broader wartime context shaping fiscal choices.
