Official Estimates Forecast 35 Billion Cost for Preparedness Program
A joint agriculture department committee estimates the next five years require about 35 billion dollars to fund the national defense and farm aid plans. The report projects yearly outlays from 1941 to 1945 and notes that stricter financing could quicken defense growth while affecting farm prices and incomes. It predicts unemployment will drop by about half by 1942 as military expansion proceeds, but farm living standards may still stagnate overall.
