WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 (!')
The budget bureau says business
profits and Income of war work
ers will be reduced In the new
fiscal year by a 20-bllllon-dol-lar
slash in government war
spending.
And if tltc war were to end
before next summer, there
would be an even greater cut
back in spending, with heavier
effects on oconomlc life in
America.
The extent of unemployment
in such a case would be deter
mined by the effectiveness of re
conversion plans.
Those forecasts were made In
a revised budget for the fiscal
year 1946, which started a
month ago.
On the assumption the war
will continue through the fiscal
year, the bureau estimated war
spending at $70,000,000,000,
compared with $90,000,000,000
in the last fiscal year.
It estimated total federal
spending at $85,000,000,000,
compared with $100,000,000,000
In fiscal 1045.
But Budget Director Harold
D. Smith was not content with
the assumption the war would
go on another 1 1 months.
Ho termed It of "utmost Im
portance" that all government
agencies "prepared their plans
not only for continuing war but
also for early pence and demob
ilization." Smith put much stress on "the
speed and effectiveness of re
conversion." He said that If the
war ends before next summer
"we would then be faced with
the problem of rapid demobiliza
tion. This would Inevitably mean
more unemployment. Its extent
would depend on the degree to
which our reconversion machin
ery is geared to take Its full load
at an early date."
