 THE FIGURES
 Just how obsolete those figures are is indicated by the U. S.. eXpen- dituress While this country spent $3S billion in 1e4l, the estimate for fls- cal year l9G3 is SIT billion and It may go higher. The sky is apparent. f ly the 1ilnit.in this slap-happy lease- lend land. .. t
 Lower standards of living, lower wage scales, lower costs of materials and the depreciated currencies of other countries are also refiected in those figures. Soviet Russia, for instance. with an army and a military machine and a war effort far vaster than anything in this country, gets by with a budget of from a third to a seventh as big, in dollar ex- change equivalent. Tn the Soviet too, all the, proft has been wrilng out of war costs. s> If you add on to the strictly military expendl dltures the cost of rebuilding all the bombed cities, the pensions for crippled fighting men and survivors of the dead, the cost of this war pyramids all over creation. A trillion dollars 1 for the total? Don't be & tight wad. Make 1t two trillion and you'll coine, closer.
 WAR COSTS % <#.
 AND CANALS ''
 For an appreciation of just how meaningless all these figures of bil- lions and triliions of dollars really are, you can take the word of J. s. KnoWlson, director of industry op- erations in the War Production Board.
 "A billion dollars is just figure to me-" confessed Knowlson in a recent speech. "But a fellow came in last week. he continued, "and said billion dollars Is two Pan- anna canals. Perhaps that means something. It's impressive to think that we turned out six or seven Panama Canals last month. x.
 Take that Panama Canal yard- stick and apply it to the cost of the war and see what you get. Amer icas war expenditures in 1s4l were equal to 70 Panama canals. For the next fiscal year, America will. be building the eqlivalept of l44- Pana- ma canals. And if the cost of the war reaches this altitudinous two- triIlion-dollar mark. that will be 4,O0O Panama canals. The question is whether the world needs so many.

 Two hundred billion dollars is a fifth of trillion dollars, and when you condiser that anybody's and everybody's money is good in this kind of Q spending spree, 1t doesn't take much arithmetic to multiply $2O0 billion by five and get $i,0o0 billion. ,.E
 No one really knows what the war is costing today. The statistics for l94l are already so obsolete as to be ancient history. A guess would be that military expenditures in l94l ran close to $lOO billion. There you are again.
