Immediate Reduction of War Expenses Urged by Martin
Senator Martin of Virginia in the Senate urged immediate curtailment of war expenditures upon Germany signing an armistice. He warned the War Department will stop raising troops as soon as the war ends and cited 7 billion dollars spent in the last two years. He said Congress and Staders from both parties support curtailing government spending after armistice. The plan included cutting clerical staff in Washington and halting war housing projects, with Housing Commissioner Widlitz cited on curtailment.
