estimated that the cost will amount

end of this year. These calculations
were complied by the board from VA
rious sources and, while their accur-
acy is not vouched for. the board be-
heves the figures are substantially
correct o..
The enormous size OF the war costs
and debt is further illustrated by com
parfson with the ante-war debt OF the
seven principal belligerents. which
did not exceed S25.OOO. 900 900. The
cost OF supporting this debt was only
about $1,000, 200, 900 year. Hereafter
the annual burden to pay interest and
sinking fund allowances will be not
less than $40, ,o0OO, 900 900 and probably
much more.
