other 1941 Federal tax sources was
expected to amount to about $6,110,-
600, 900, which is less than the sum
being asked for the outlay on aid
to the embattled "democracies"
under the lease-lend program. That
tax-revenue estimate was formulated
last December, and it is held prob
able that the computation of the
returns will indicate a greater total
return that the estimators antici-
pated.
These returns will provide Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgenthau
with an understanding of the
amount of additional revenue he
will have to raise for next year, and
the full details of the next tax pro-
gram will be based on that under
standing. Almost at the same time
it comes to a final decision about
the new tax program, the Treasury
will launch another money-raising
drive through the low-value de-
fense-bond sale campaign-similar
to the Liberty Loans and Victory
Loans in 1918 and 1919.
President Roosevelt is to buy the
first bond May /. Stamps for as
low as 10 cents or Is cents will be
sold, 10 enlist the whole population,
even children, in the task OF f1nanc-
ing defense. Stamps will be ex-
changeable for IS certificates, and
certificates for s25 bonds. Those
face values are subject to change.
The Treasury has made public no
estimate of the amount of money
it hopes to raise during the first
IL months by the Defense Bond
drive. However, Secretary Morgen-
thau has disclosed that the new all
time record debt limit of $65 ,000,-
00o 900 probably will have to be in
creased for the spending on defense
and other emergency needs during
the fiscal year which opens July
/, 1912. The $65 900, 100000 is be-
lieved sufficient for the coming year.
S17,585, ,00O, 900 Expenditures.
The contemplated expenditures
for the coming fiscal year are ST.
585, 900 900. The estimated receipts
under the existing taxation and
borrowing programs are $8,971 ,O00,-
900. These figures, which may be
amended, give the deficit of 1854
900, ,0OO-a large sum, but there have
been greater deficits. The deficit
in 1918 was $9,033 900, ,000-s4, ,000,-
600, 900 less than in 1919. The New
Deal deficits during the last five
years follow: 1910, $3,740, ,000, 900;
1889, $500, 900 600; 1898, 81 ,449 900,
900; 1887, $3,252, 900, 900; 1886, $4.-
952. 900, 900.
These deficits are large, and the
governmental expenditures Of the
last five years have been great. But
the tax revenue has been enormous
"a fact which is generally obscured
in discussion of spending.
Now that Congress has granted
it the power to tax the income
from all Federal securities, the ad-
ministration would like to have the
power to tax all other governmental
securities, State, municipal and
local, but the Treasury has been
advised by House Speaker Rayburn
and friends on the Senate side of
the Capitol that the time is not
propitious to launch q move for
that sort of taxation power. The
Treasury is approaching this prob
lem by seeking taxes from the
holders of bonds Of the New York
Port Authority.

More Than Billion in New
Toxes Needed, Harrison Say.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March IS
P)-Chairman Harrison of the SEN
ate Finance Committee estimated to-
day that between a billion and a
billion and half dollars" in new
taxes probably will be needed under
the defense and lease-lend program.
Senator Harrison, here for a rest
at the Army and Navy General Hos
pital. said the new taxes would be
levied at the current session of Con-
gress, but did not indicate what tax
alton methods were considered.
THE people seem to realize that 1t
takes money to do this defense job
well and I have heard no squawks
about taxes yet" he said.
Senator Harrison declared that
nothing we will do under the lease
lend law will advance us closer to
war than we are now. I have every
confidence in the President and his
cabinet and know they are exer-
cising the greatest care to take care
