Treasury fund well guarded by secretary Morgenthau
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau told Senator Byrd that farm program expenditures approved by Congress could not be financed from the treasury working balance. The GAO estimated the unencumbered fund would total about 14.5 billion by June 30, 1940, while Morgenthau warned the balance may be as low as possible to meet emergencies.
