Invisible spending stirs debate on debt and policy in Washington
The piece discusses President Roosevelts invisible spending plan, the national debt near 40.3 billion with a 45.0 billion limit, and the push to raise the debt ceiling via outside financed public works. It notes Congresss cautious stance and warns that such debt maneuvering could empower government over money and credit, inviting claims of looming state socialism and risky economic effects. It also details fears of a Japanese British clash over China, potential German moves in Danzig, and questions whether the U S must lead in protecting Chinese interests while balancing naval power.
