Borrow Billions to Build Huge Cash Reserve
The administration seeks 700 million in new money to fund spending and boost a temporary cash reserve. Morgenthau refunds 499.4 million of notes, bringing total financing to 1.138 billion. Banks hold about 3 billion idle funds, aiding this move. Treasury aims for a 2.5 billion cash balance, enabling months without new borrowing, barring emergencies. Critics note war risk and cheap money motives. The direct debt would rise to 28.3 billion, with deficits widening to about 4 billion in the year to June 1938.
