I Br Fred Warner United Press Correspondent Washington, (U.R) The two years of war since Pearl Harbor have cost the United States more than 128,000.000 000, or alrrttrrt four timet what World War I cost the nation between April T, 1917, and October 31, 1919. If some 112,824,000,000, spent for "National defense" (Pre paredness) In the 18 months be fore December 7, mi, were added to the amount spent since then, the total cost of the war to date would rise to about 1)41, 000,000,000, or well over tout times the cost of World War 1. Between July 1, 1940 when the defense program got under wayto September 80, 1943. war appropriations and contra-n authorizations totaled $323,594 303,6111 Of this. 8191,000,000 000 waa for the Army and $93, 000,000,000 for the Navy. Total expenditures of the gov ernment during the two years have amounted to a little more than 8140,000,000,000, whlcn means that since Pearl Harbor the treasury has disbursed $12 000,000,000 for normal . govern mental expense. -, The huge war spending of the two years of war hat boosted the public debt of the nation to 8170,000,000,000.

At the end. of World War I, the per cap ita debt was $249.50. Interest on the present public' debt, at the present average rate paid on government sacuritin by the Treasury, amounts to 83 322,000,000 a year. This alone will mean for future years an anual charge to be met which I equal to about three-quarters of the average annual revenues of the government for the 20 yearr from 1921 to 1940..
