O f this gigantic sum about twelve and one- half billion dollars will be expended during the balance of the 194? fiscal year, which ends on June 80th next. Sixteen billion dollars o f the amount is to be used during the :1948 -fiscal year., There is,some dispute as to whether alt .of the twenty-eight and oive-half billion dollars requested by the President is in nddirion to the one hundred and fourteen billion dollars ’ already authorized, .appropriated or budgeted fofrwar *qd Lease-Lend pur. poses. The totals involved "are so stupendous, and the bookkeeping mo- cesses' ate so intricate,-that itm a l­ most impossible for anyone to be ab-, soiutely, certain as to the financial sit­ uation in connection with our war ef­ fort. War-ospending wilt depend en­ tirely upon the ability o f American industry to produce implements of wgr. It is the policy of the .Adminis­ tration to spend,just as much as pos­ sible just as quickly as possible iu an all out effort against the Axis Pow­ ers, While Congress baa, indicated a willingness to .go along with such a program, a grdwing sentiment is de- vribping on Capitol Hill for the .re­ duction o f all nondefense expendi­ tures and for putting forth every ef­ fort to make, certain 'that the funds appropriaed for war purposes wilt not be wasted. That there tm$been waste, inefficiency and comuption in connec­ tion with defense .efforts has' been brought to- light through the reports o f legislative investigating commit­ tees. Two* weeks ago the Truman Committee made its .report to theSen­ ate, * Last week the House 'commit­ tee, headed-by the.able Chairman of. the Naval. Affairs Committee,-..Carl Vinson of "Georgia, made a partial re­ port on its investigations, showing hug* profits have b tm made on naval contracts; Some o f which have run as high* as .24.7#>, according to the com­ mittee. As a result of* -recent ex­ posures, legislation is now In the mak­ ing to limit the’profita oh war Orders, and to otherwise curb 'improper prac­ tices. - . * In? these, days of national crisis all must he careful to guard against giv­ ing any information that might be of aid or comfort to the enemy. America is at war;and even the Congress does not receive a full and complete report o f all that is going bn along the far- Aung battle fronts o f this greatest o f all struggles . However, sufficient secret ahd official information has come to members of Congress to con­ vince them that our country is in real danger; and that no time can be lost in developing our full strength and might If we are to win in this fight to save civilization. In the Far Bast toe war has been going against America and her Allies, Ddspite the heroic stand o f General MacArthur and his courageous little Army, it ap­ pears that the Philippines, may Soon be lost. The Japanese drive to the south mikes the fate of Singapore, the Dutch Bast indies, Australia, Burma, and even India, most ques­ tionable. Singapore has alriadywlost meet o f its importance as a great fortress and sea base, and can no longer be used as a Center Ofoffensive strength against the enemy. The Jap­ anese have obtained footholds In the Ditch Bast Indies; their armies are driving into Burma* and their forces have established bases on Islands near Australia and- are threatening‘ that continent with invasion. 83,142,3b judgment and foreclosure of Miami Twp. property against Chester Preston and Ruth E.
