WASHINGTON, Oct, " 2 l-tfl5)-President
Roosevelt estimated to
day that It would eost $175,000
000 to safeguard and enforce
American neutrality during- the
first 10 months of the Euro
pean war.'
He told reporters that- this
sum would be asked of congress
as a deficiency appropriation la
January. This strengthened the
belief of some officials that the
total national defense appropria
tion for the I next session would
exceed $2,009,000,000.
The eitrs4jI78.000,000, Mr.
Roosevelt tolohis press confer
ence. Is needed chiefly to pay for
Increases tn the armed forces or
dered September 8 when he pro
claimed a limited national emerg
ency. The expense covers main
tenance of the Atlantic coast
neutrality patrol and -the mass
training of troops ordered by the
war department.,
. A short time before the presi
dent spoke, Chairman - Eheppard
(D-Tex) of the senate military
affairs committee predicted the
expanding army would require
$1,000,000,000 next year, and
Chairman Scrugham (D-Nev)
said the house naval appropria
tions sub-committee expected the
navy budget would approach this
sum.
. In ' another defense develop
ment the war department an
nounced that the first new aerial
fighting unit to be formed since
eongreaa approved a $200,000,000
aid' corps expansion in April
would he sent to Puerto. Rico Is
November to reinforce defenses
of that Caribbean outpost. It Is
the 27th reconnaissance squad
ron of 22 officers, 228 enlisted
men and 9 planes.
Mr. Roosevelt said the $278,
000,000 deficiency was for extra
expenses and would be spent be
fore the' end of the fiscal year.
He explained that the defici
