ment to persons now receiving
government help, the national
budget can thereafter be kept de
finitely in balance.”
•Included in the budget is a re
cord-breaking peace time nation
al defense fund of nearly a bill
ion dollars, including money to
' start work on two fifty million
dollar battleships, increased ex
penditures for airplanes, ordnan
ce equipment and expanded per
sonnel in both the army and the
navy.
It also asked for an appropria
f tion of $980,763,000, an increase
of $92,882,000 over the estimated
outlay for the current year end
ing June 30th.
