Postscript on War Expenses and Possible Savings
The author argues for reducing war costs by careful review and targeted savings. Proposals include lowering prices or ration adjustments, relocating provisioning, suspending nonessential expenses, reforming pensions and civil offices, and favoring half pay reforms. Reports from Copenhagen and Vienna imply continuing war plans, with emphasis on broader strategic reductions alongside a new campaign.
