The treas ury gave out an unusually full ac counting of Its spending for the fis cal year Just closed, but naturally It did not add In the costs of the first sixteen months of the Roosevelt ad ministration. K it had, you would hare found out that the cost of the new deal so far (to July) has been: Ordinary running ex pense 6.462.000,000 Emergency relief 8,883.000,000 Total - $15,345,000,000 With that much money ycu could throw away 910 bill at ev ery foot of the newest automo bile way from here to Los An geles and arrive there before ex hausting your supply (distance 2.950 mtles.) You 'could pave a strip of h a t road nearly MAIXO.N twenty Inches wide with dollar bills. You could buy every acre of land and water In the large state of California at 8150 an acre. If you had that much money thirteen years ago you could have bought the entire states of Ala bama. Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado and Connecticut, and everything In them at high pre-depresslon prices. (Census bureau estimate of wealth by states In 1922.) An Itemized statement of what this money has been going for is now available only up to May 31. From It you will see that the big gest single Item of regular running expense In the new deal has been in terest on the debt. About .1.785.000f 000 has been paid out In Interest by new dealers and all but $807,000,000 was on the old war debt. National defense took $1,218,000,000. of which the navy got $694,000,000 and the army 9524.000.000. The veterans ad ministration ook $1,261,000,000. If you lump the army. navy, vet erans and war debt Interest together, you can see President Roosevelt has spent $3,657,000,000 of his money on past and future wars. This Is- more than one-fifth of his total expendi ture, and the end Is not yet in sight. It only cost him half that much to operate all the rest of the regular branches of government ($1,733,000, 000).
