New Taxes And Debt Limit Urged In Armament Financing
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau told the House Ways and Means Committee that new taxes and a higher debt limit are essential to orderly financing of national defense. The plan by Rep. Robert L. Coughton would raise $656 million in revenue by a 10 percent tax boost and allow a $3 billion debt increase to retire defense bonds. Morgenthau warned the current deficit could reach $3.703 billion in 1941 with only $1.973 billion left under the limit. He called the stabilization fund a nest egg to be preserved for genuine emergencies.
