Washington, d. C. - Fighting
has ceased but the war won't be
over for those who have to pay
its costs and care for the wounded,
seeing to their rehabilitation, the
Budget Bureau has announced via
a pile of staggering figures.
War costs and veteran aid will
total 1914, 600, 100000 by next sum-
mer, the bureau estimates. Educa-
tional costs for returning veterans
and their readjustment will take
$4,000, 100000 the bureau has an
nounced. On top of this the yearly
cost to provide adequate veteran
aids will total in the vicinity Of
$4,000, 100000 each year for 10
years, it was said. There will be
a gradual decline each year.
Victory Bond Money Essential
Continued need for huge Bond
sales and the holding Of those now
owned until maturity was seen
with the release Of the figures.
More than ever, it was said, "To
have and to hold applies to Vic
tory Loan and War Bonds. More
than ever, it is necessary to give
all-out support to the Victory
Loan, officials said.
The Budget Bureau estimates
that "war costs-actual and pros
pective-will amount to $340,OO0,-
100000 by next June 80, and the
public debt will approximate
$273, ,0OO, 100000, as compared to
the statutory limit of $30O,O0O,-
100000" for the fiscal year of
1916. Add the veteran cost to the
war cost and the estimated total
is $344, ,O00, ,00O, 900.
Mr.. Harold d. Smith, Budget
Bureau Chief, said that recasting
the figures that went to Congress
in the annual Presidential budget
message in January show that the
original estimate of $4,000, ,000,-
600 for the war this year alone has
been reduced to $50, 500, ,000,O00 due
to the wars end.
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1945-11-16
Demobilization Comes High


When this year ends there will
remain unobligated authorizations
of nearly $4,000, ,O00,O 900, and un-
liquidated obligations Of nearly
$50, ,000,000,000 approx imately.
Even with victory some of these
authorizations will be needed for
meeting expenses incident to the
liquidation Of the war effort.
4Not only war;" Mr.. Smith re-
minded, "but also rehabilitation
of the war machine is costly"
Thus it is seen the holding Of Vic
tory and War Bonds by their own
ers and the sale Of more Victory
Bonds becomes the first duty of
the home front in it's fight to
maintain a stable economy and to
defeat destructive initiation, it was
pointed out.
Because of the educational and
readjustment program allowances
for veterans, it is estimated the
cost there will be about $4,000
100000 in the rehabilitation and
immediate postwar period. This al
lotmept is for retraining Of re-
turning veterans who have been
wounded and unable to earn their
living at their old trade; the re-
placement Of legs and arms and
Of living costs while in training
or during disqualification.
The Veterans Administration
will administer the rehabilitation
training and give financial assist
ance to the men.
Training and other rehabilita-
tion afforded will go to the men
who left homes and loved ones and
sailed for distant battle fronts to
fight to establish peace and har-
mony among nations in the years
to come. These are the survivors
of Bataan, Corrigedor, France,
Germany, Africa, Italy. Those who
did not survive viii not need the
assistance Of a responsive and
never-failing homefront. How re-
sponsive the homefront is will be !

All of us know, without being
told, some of the reasons.
We know that million and 9
quarter Americans were killed OF
wounded and that we must take
care OF the injured men and the
families Of the dead.
Bonds to Bring Them Home
We know that there are still
millions of Americans overseas
and that we must bring them
home as soon as we can and main
tain them till they get here.
We know that the G. |. Bill OF
Rights gives these men - and
rightly-mustering out pay, loans,
education-a chance to make up
for the years they have lost-a
chance to get a start in the free
and peaceful world they won for
all of US.
These facts are obvious just
as obvious as the fact That 1T VIII
take lot of money to handle the
problems they present.
It's also obvious, when you come
to think of it, that winding up a
war as big as this one is expen-
sive business in other ways. For
instance, huge sums are still re-
quired to pay for war materials
which were ordered, produced and
delivered some time ago.
These reasons for buying extra
Bonds in the Victory Loan are
clear and EASILY understood.
But there is another reason for
making the Victory Loan a sue
cess which, perhaps, doesn't come
so easily and clearly to mind.
In these years of war, the
American people have Displayed
mighty sound judgment.
Bonds For Your Future, Too
Man by man, family by family,
The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1945-11-16

group by group they have come
to accept Bond buying as way
to obtain financial and economic
security for themselves as indi-
viduals and for their country.
Whole communities have thus
changed, in the last few years,
from debt-ridden, hand-to-mouth
groups to communities Of solid
citizens with financial reserve, a
financial stake in the American
system, and q newly-formed habit
of regular saving.
AS result of this good judg-
ment, we have been able to hold
off a disastrous initiation, finance
q good part Of the costs of war,
and save the incredible sum Of 100
billion dollars.
And as result of THESE ac-
complishments, we, as nation,
stand ready now to win our final
battle in the fight to throw off
the effects of war and get this
country back, as fast as we can,
on a solid, prosperous, peacetime
economic basis.
TO WIN THIS FINAL BAT
TIE, WE NEED ONLY KEEP
ON DOING, FOR A LITTLE
LONGER, THE SAME THINGS
WE DID so WELL DURING 31a
YEARS OF WAR. WE NEED TO
KEEP ON SAVING UNTIL RE-
CONVERSION is COMPLETE.
The next few months will tell
the story. And if, during this crit
ical period, we will only use the
brains, the will power, the energy,
the enterprise, the materials and
resources with which we won our
war, we can't fail to win the peace
and make this the richest, hap
piest land the world has known.
Making the Victory Loan a
smashing success will be a clear
notice Of our intentions.

War, Veteran Rehabilitation TO Cost 344 Billion
By July 1896 Budget Bureau Chief Announces

demonstrated through the sale Of
more and bigger Victory Bonds
officials said.
Added to the above costs, inter
est on the public debt is some
thing to make one set up and
blink. It will take "more than So
0OO,OOO,0O0 yearly" Mr.. Smith
said and, he added, "tax refunds
will remain high until about
year after the Pacific war and
will decline drastically there
after"
Mr.. Smith warned that "a drop
of $39, ,000, 100000 in revenue this
year is in prospect" Corporations
will pay about "$3, 100, 100000 less
in direct taxes and individuals
due in part to the loss of war
wages-about $3,2O0,O0O,00O less"
he added. This is loss of $6,30O,-
100000 in these two departments
alone, Mr.. Smiths figures show.
1t is about half of the quota of
the Victory Loan. The total reve-
nue. loss is almost three times that
of the mighty 7th quota.
Thus it was agreed here, the
Victory Loan is as vital a need as
were any of its predecessors.

Partners in Peace

"Eighty-five million Americans
have, through war bonds, pur-
chased partnership in Government.
That is a proud record. And by
holding on to their bonds, they
continue to share in their Gov
ernment.
'"The Victory Loan is our final
great effort. 1t is our first peace
time salute to those who made
peace a fact. America sent its
loved ones to war. America sent
its goods to war. America sent
it's dollars to war.
Our loved ones and our goods
have reached their detectives.
"The war job of our dollars is
not done. Let's finish that job
with the Victory Loan.
"By purchasing Victory bonds
and by holding onto the bonds you
already own, you participate con-
structively in peaceful and pros
porous America"

with victory in Europe, the OPA
in the months to come has a bigger
job than ever before" Leo II. Nc
Cormick, Maryland State Director
of the OPA said today. "This will
continue to be true until supplies
of most commodities can be pro-
duced in quantities somewhere near
current demands.
Our Army and Navy still have
major war to fight in the Pacific
The service forces will still need to
purchase huge quantities of supplies
until final victory is won.
80 we know that income will re-
main very high, and demand for
civilian goods will also outstrip sup
plies of most commodities. This will
mean the necessary. continuance of
price controls until the threat of in
flation is gone. Insofar as we are
able to determine now, it will mean
the continuation of major rationing
programs, certainly through 1916 at
the very least-and on many items
until final victory in the Pacific.
I'm the months Immediately
ahead, OPA will have heavier load
of work than at any time in the war
period. In addition to the continual
ton of present programs to hold
prices in line, we must promptly
establish prices on reconversion
goods, like automobiles, radios, cleo
trio fans, refrigerators, etc. These
are the things which have been out
of production during the war period
Adjustment provisions for many
different regulations in other fields
have been planned and must be
Immediately put into effect. In tie
next six months, there will probably
be changes made in rationing pro-
grams, which will further add to
the work of each of the local Price
and Rationing Boards, and our office
here in Baltimore.
Then later on, as supplies Of diff
ferent commodities come up near
demand, we must remove controls
in an orderly manner and as quick
ly as possible, without running the
risk of serious rise in prices.
"The OPA programs of price con-
troll, rent control and rationing can
only succeed in the difficult months
ahead, if we receive the continued
support of the many volunteers
in Baltimore and the state, who have
given so much of their time to help
their Government in this wartime
program.

we have the support of the trade

accomplish. Only this way can the
cost of living be held in check FOR
the benefit of all Americans. only
thus can we prevent sharp incr asses
in prices.
war Production will not shut
down overnight" Mr.. Mccormick
continued. 'The Government will
still spend for war at the rate of
$50, 100000 a year. And the
money people collect in wages,
salaries, farm receipts, dividends
and interest will continue to exceed
what they can spend for the limit
ed supply of civilian goods to be
available.
In addition, cash holdings of in
dividuals plus their war bonds today
total more than $40 billions, com
pared with $50 billions before Pearl
Harbor. In the months ahead, when
production of war gives way to
production of civilian goods, these
billions of dollars of savings will add
their pressure to those already pres
ent on prices.
Price control will be needed then
more than ever before to keep
people from bidding up prices of
everyday things, and touching off
sharp price increases in the cost Of
living"
