ENORMOUS COST
OF HR TO TRE
UNITED SMS
WASHINGTON. Sept 21.—Seven
teen months of war have cost the
United States government $17,339,681,
342—a billion dollars a month. This
rate has Increased so rapidly, how
ever, that August expenses ran up
to $1,805,513,222, or nearly $200,000,
000 more than the highest previous
record set Ih July
These figures from the treasury ]
show that less than one and one-half
years of modern warfare have cost
the United States more than four
times the combined Union and ('on
federate outlays for three years of
the Civil war, calculated at $3,660,
000,000 for the Union and $1,500,000,
000 for the Confederates.
The report also shows double the
rate of Increase In expenditures esti
mated by the government in June,
then set at $100,000,000 more each
month. If this rate continues, ex
penses for the year ending next June
30 will be much more than the $24,
000.000,000 estimated, and the coun
| try may be called on to absorb more
I than the $16,000,000,000 of Liberty
I bonds now tentatively planned.
The treasury report also shows fur
ther that of the $17,339,min,eon out
01 the war to date, $10.989.077,eon has 1
! been spent for ordinary war purposes, 1
I anil $6,245,764,000 has gone as linan
repaid eventually, and consequently
may be deducted in calculating the net ‘
war expenses to the United States
government.
Only $3,031,478.01111 lias been gath
ered by the government from taxes,
* .e-toms and other minor sources of
n venue since the war started, and
$12,300,000,00o from Liberty loans and
sale of certificates of indebtedness,
which arc to be converted into Lib
erty bonds. This indicates that only
20 per tent ol war expenses to dale
have been drawn directly from the
pockets of tilt people, and that 71 , r
cent lias come from popular burrow
, ings which will necessitate heavy tax
levies long after the war.
Tlie Third Liberty loan lias brought!
in $4,165,836,000, which leaves only
I $11,000,000 of the $4,176,000,000 origi
! nal subscriptions yet to be paid in.
The last installment was due three
weeks ago. income and excess prof
its payments trickling in during Aug
ust raised the total from tills source
i within the last year to $2,842,208,000,
and officials expect this to rise grad
ually to $;:,ooii,noo,uoo as delinquent
payments are rounded up by internal
revenue agents.
Millions of thrifty citizens invest
ing in war savings stamps have piled
up $647,554,000. In August receipts
from the stamps were $120,044,000.
j i,(in with this total, the comparison
| shows that war savers did not keep
I up their pace set in July, when the
government collected $211,417,000 as
| a result of the national campaign on
Thrift day.
Tremendous war expenses these
days—$60,000,000 a day- are being
■ met by the sale of certificates of in
| debtedness, virtually short-time loans
from banks, to be refunded in the
i fourth Liberty loan. Even with a
half billion of these securities going
out every two weeks, and a corr
sponding inflow of money, the govern
ment's working balance has dropped
from about $1,500,000,000, where it
stood for the last few months, to
about $1,000,000,000. The figure rep
resents funds on hand, most of which
is distributed as deposits among hun
dreds of hanks, but available at all
times for checking out,
