]. S. WAR COSTS
INCREASE To
80 BILLIONS
Morgenthau Report Shows
Huge Expenditures to Date;
May Go Up so Per Cent
International News Ser O.


Fifty thousand million dollars
in round numbers was the esti-
mated cost to Americas taxpayers
Of the World War up to June 30,
1884. the final annual report Of
Secretary Morgenthau revealed
today.
Figures were given as follows:
Estimated cost to June 80,
1921, $25, ,729, 900, 900.
Continuing Costs:
Veterans Administration, $6,391,-
100000.
Interest on the War Debt,
$9,557 900, 900.
Settlement Of the War Claims
act. $88, 900 900.
In addition to these sums from
10000 million to $4,000 million
dollars of principal on the funds
loaned to the Allied governments
are still owed to the United
States.
w NEUuAS
Had the debts been paid over
the approximate 62-year period Of
refunding the Government beyond
the principal would have received
about 1000 million dollars in in
tereSt.
The ultimate cost of the war is
a matter of speculation, but it un-
douhtedly will run into well over
100000 million dollars because Of
continuing costs, including care
of veterans, their dependents, in
terest charges and other outlays.
Veterans Administration costs
are running around a half billion
dollars a year. There is the pros
pect Of payment Of the remainder
of the soldiers bonus Of possibly
two billion dollars, provided, as
is likely, that interest charges
against ex-soldiers who borrowed
on their adjusted service policies
will be refunded.
Gradual Increase
Interest on the war debt this
year will approximate 100000
900. This sum, however, will grad
ually decrease as the war obliga-
tions are retired. The sinking
fund to retire the war debt is
about $500, 600, 900 annually.
Actual war costs were calcu-
lated up to the official date Of the
end Of the conflict, July 2, 1921.
That was the date Of the tern1ina-
ton of the War as determined by
presidential proclamation.

OBERSALzBERG, Germany,
Jan. 16 Q.N.SJ.-In his snow
blanketed Bavarian mountain
home, Adolf Hitler, chancellor and
fuehrer of Germany, today gave
the first interview he has granted
to an American newspaperman
since his assumption Of complete
power in the Reich, and demanded
full equality for Germany.
Sitting on glass-inclosed porch
within glimpsing distance of the
Austria where he was born, Hitler
reiterated to me that actual
equality only is acceptable to Ger.
many, and that no substitute will
suffice.
Below us spread q Germany
madly celebrating its victory IN
the Saar.
Offer to France
The Fuehrer offers France, as a
return for her consent to Ger
many's equality, complete re-
nunciation Of all the Fatherland's
other territorial claims.
But the Versailles treaty as a
whole will once more beexcoriated
by him as an instrument in
capable of giving peace to the
world.
To the Saar'S former dissidents,
willing to renounce their former
opposition 'creedS, he offers full
assurances and extends good will.
He asks the American people to
look upon the Saar plebiscite as q
graphic reflection Of present-day
Germany.
Views on PlebiScite
When I asked what he thought
OF the plebiscite results. he re-
Piled:
"The pIebiscite result fills me

table historical importance, for
in this treaty this territory was
torn away from Germany with
with the assertion that in it
lived 10000 Frenchmen.
"After Is years Of mastery by
the League Of Nations, that Is
to say indeed by France, it has
been established that not 15O.-
900, but hardly 1000 French
men live in this territory.
I'm any one thousand Of in

which was built upon such un-
true arguments cannot bring to
mankind happiness and bless

after the return of the Saar,
Germany will not put before
France any other territorial
claims.

"ThuS is historically seen a

"The American people should
believe only what eye-witnesSes
