TriiEion Spent
In U.s.. in 6 Years
States, Local Governments
Up 8 Billion; Savings
Equal u. S. Deficit.

WASHINGTON. - In the six de-
Tense and war years nearly a trillion
dollars was spent in this country.
The exact amount, as computed by
treasury analysts, was 1897, OOO,-
900, 900, expended during the cal
endar years 1910 through 1945, the
Associated Press reports.
The federal government, carrying
the burden of arming and fighting
costs, spent $685., 900, 900, 900, about
three-eighths of the total.
State and local governments, cities
and counties, spent about $50 ,00O,-
600, 900.
Individuals and corporations
spent about $572, 600, 000, 900, of
which $517, O00, 900, 900 was for con-
sumers' goods and services and
$55, 600, 600, 900 for production equip
ment.
How Units Fared.
Taken as a whole group and dis
regarding cases of individuals, cor
porations or governmental units, all
came out ahead except the federal
government, which went deep into
the hole.
Here's how the treasury depart
ment analysts figured they Jared:
The federal government spent
$685., 600, 900, 900 and took in only
S156, 900, 000, 900 in taxes. 1t had a
deficit of 5000, 900, 900, 900.
The state and local governments
took in $50, 600, 900, 900 in taxes, but
spent only $50, OO0, 600, 900. They
wound up about $4,000, 900, 900
ahead.
Individuals and corporations
came out $201, 900, 900, 900 better off.
Their income was SITS, 900, 000, 900
after their taxes were paid and
their other expenditures were $751;
900, 900, 900.
The 5000, 000, 900 surplus piled up
by state and local governments and
the $20L,00O, 900, 1000 surplus accu-
mulated by individuals and cor
porations exactly equaled the fed
eral deficit of $209, 0OO, 900, 900.
Not an Accident.
That, the treasury men say, was
accident, since total spendings
and total income are really the
same f~gures-they are the head
and tail of a coin" In other
words, one mans expenditure is
another mans income.
All these operations explain the
of a major national head
ache, the enormous current federal
debt. The federal government had
to borrow to pay the Xcess of its
spending over it's income.
1t still owes that money, plus
some extra borrowing and some
.rewar debt, amounting in all to
more than $3.50, 900, 0OO, 1000 with a
reduction to about $267, 600, 000, 900
for next month.
Just meeting the interest, S5,000,-
600, 900 a year, is so costly that
some government mel fall back or
an old saying:
"It isn't so much the initial cost
the upkeep."
