debt today Is 9H billion dol
lars higher than a year ago.
All are agreed It will climb
higher before the year la over,
no matter what the congress
decides about lifting the legal
limit on it at this time.

first
halt of this year they
were going into debt at an
even fatter clip. In the last
seven years state and local
government indebtedness has
doubled. The total now tops
$27 billion.
Corporations owed about
$85 billon when World War
II ended. Fast plant expan
sion and money Inflation has
boosted that debt to around
$200 billion.
The debts owed by Individu
als and unincorporated busi
nesses are now estimated to
total around $190 billion.
Consumer credit one easily
visible form of individual debt
has swelled to Just under $27
billion, with buying on the
cuff, installment credit, ac
counting for more than $20
billion of it
Mortgage lenders estimate
that about 10 million single
family homes carry mortgages,
sustained by the earning capa
city of individuals.
This huge debt total of gov
ernment, business and individ
uals Is being carried neatly
at the moment by the wave of
prosperity, still unbroken.
It is into this picture of to
tal debt that the controversy
over lifting the federal debt
limit is thrust. By a 1946
law the U.S. treasury can't go
into debt for more than $275
billion dollars. Its current in
debtedness is more than
$272 Vi billion dollars.
This is climbing, in this
month, the first, of its new
fiscal year, treasury collec
tlons fell about two billion
dollar below its receipts. It
has a cash balance of a little
less than $9 billion.
Some argue that the treas
ury could stay within the debt
limit the rest of this year it It
would borrow the $2tt blUion
more than the law allows and
let its cash drop to $3 billion.
Treasury Secretary Humph
rey, however, says it isn't safe
for the treasury to have less
than $8 billion in Its Jeans
at any one time. Too many
unexpected things could hap
