War costs in peace: studies show huge funding shift
Dr Edward B Rosa cited figures contrasting 1919 1920 federal outlays with war costs. Research education and development received about 57.7 million of 5.686 billion total, Agriculture absorbed 36 million of the research share, while war and navy budgets dwarfed nonmilitary spending. The piece notes a 93 percent wartime tilt and argues for greater funding of beneficial government functions. The Red Cross opens a museum memorializing World War II service and Civil War relics.
