Second War Budget To Be Enormous One
Washington reports that work on the United States second war budget has begun and officials anticipate a request exceeding 90 billion dollars. The Budget Bureau seeks agency estimates for the 1943 fiscal year starting July 1, with hearings set for September and a Roosevelt transmission to Congress in January. Officials say the total depends on war production capacity, not only department requests, and may reach the largest budget in world history even with price changes. Treasury spending runs about five billion monthly now, rising toward eight billion by winter.
