Burton predicts much larger army if war extends to 1943 44
Senator Harold H. Burton told the Ohio Society of New York that the United States must quadruple its army if World War II lasts through 1943 and 1944. He said arms outlay could rise from about 2 million to 4 million an hour within a year, and that the army has grown about tenfold, with further doubling likely. He urged inflation checks by funding war costs mainly through current taxes and proposed trimming the regular operating budget from 8.5 billion to 5 billion.
