Congress Breaks
Spending Record
May Be Colled On To
Roise Debt Limit To 75
Billion, Increose Taxes.
Washington, March 29.—^Prospects
that the seventy-seventh congress
will have to raise the debt limit to
$75,000,000,000 and increase taxes
three billi(»s a year within twelve
months loomed tonight as the spend
ing authorizations of the present
young session passed the $25,000,-
000,000 mark.
About $8,000,000,000 requested in
President Roosevelt’s 1942 fiscal
year budget, including $4JK)0,000,000
for the army, have yet to be consid
er by congress. And additional
sums to supplement the defense pro-
grom are anticipated by congression
al fiscal leaders.
Representative CUftem Woodrum,
Democrat, Virginia, Avho handles
most of the appropriations bills in
the house, said today that with the
seven billions for British aid, the de
fense outlays for the current and
coming fiscal year aggregate $32,-
182,6^4,400. This is exclusive of the
billions for ordinary government ex
penses, relief, pensions and social se
curity.
Already the less than three-
months-old congress has broken all
peace and war-time recor^ in hav
ing fully or partially apj^oved ap
propriations exceeding $20,000,000,-
000 in cash, with $4,000,000,000 more
in contractual authority and authori
zations^.
The'house, udiich initiates such
legislation, is so far ahead of the sen
ate that it plans a two weeks vaca
tion beginning April 3 and ending
April 17.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
said there would be no vacation for
the senate, Y^ch next week will
consider the 2,500,000,000 fifth sup
plemental defense bill, carrying
funds to provide equipment fog a
four-million-man army, and the rec
ord smashing $lji00,000,000 agricul
tural supply measure.
President Roosevelt’s 1942 budget
anticipated a $58,000,000,000 debt on
July 1, 1942. To meet this contin
gency, congress speedily raised the
debt limit from $49,000,000,000 to
$65,000,000,000. Since then ^e $7,-
000,000,000 British aid program was
enacted, which would wipe out the
balance. Also, since then, the presi
dent has asked $3,000,000,000 addi
tional for defense purposes and more
requests are^ing drafted.
Thus, witll there being no likeli
hood of sufficient revenue being
raised to meet mmre than 40 per cent
of the authorized spending, congress
faces the problem of increas
ing the debtUa^ before the* 1943
fiscal year in orifia to pay defense
costs largely ffilrbuih borrowing.
That the president will ask for a
huge tax bill is predicted by all
Democratic leaders.
be shipped to Great Britain, but we
may eventually be called upon to
feed conquered nations throughout
Europe. A test shipment of grain is
being made, for the purpose of feed
ing the free French. If this food ii
used only for that purpose it may
lead to large shipments later, but
if it gets into the hands o^ the Ger
mans, such shipments will undoubt
edly be stopped.
Plan PlaoM
As a result of the $7,000,000,000
bill to finance production which in
cludes two billions for planes, plans
are now being worked out to supply
Great Britain with 20,000 planes
^thin the next 18 months. This in
cludes planes which already have
been ordered by England as well as
those we will provide. The schedule
calls for production of over 1,000
planes a month for this purpose
alone.
Because o^ the fear' of loss of
planes in export, if they are sent
across the Atlantic on boats, there is
talk here of establishing a safe route
for flying them over. This involves
difficulties, such as the imwillingness
of Ireland to permit England to es
tablish bases there, but it is under
stood that a large number j>f bomb
ers already have been flown to Eng
land without casualties.
Plans are being made to spend an
other half billion of that Mven bil
lion dollars to build about 400 freight
boats for the British. A six>kesman
for the maritime commission, which
is behind this program, said that by{
November the commission expects to
have constructed a million tons of
ships.
In addition to the new ships being
built, it is understood that the gov
ernment is now in the process of
transferring 50 American freighters
to the British. One reason for quick
action in transferring ships is to!
make it possible to carry goods to|
England on British ships rather thani
on our own. I
On the heels of the seven billion
dollar defense bill, the senate must!
now vote on four billions for financ-1
ing our enlarged army and navy. <
This bill, already approved by the!
house, is known as the fifth supple-;
mental defense appropriation bill.
Because of the increasing trend to-1
war^ unity of action in congress, this!
measure is not expected to receive
much opposition.
Strikes
Strikes in defense industries con
tinue to cause increasing worry here
and plans for stopping them are
breaking out like smallpox. The pres
ident has set up a national defense
biediation board but it is feared that
the board, without being provided
witl\ a big club, will not be able to
cope with the situation.
Representative Vinson, chairman
of the house naval affairs committee,
has announced that his committee
will consider a bill to confer statu
tory authority on the president’s ex
ecutive order creating the mediation
board. He pK)ints out that the presi
dent cannot include enforcetneag
provisions in an executive order, anA
that the board should be set up bgr
statute in order to make enforcemcaR
provisions possible. Repre^ntathNS
Vinson’s bill would provide a $5,MB
fine and a year’s imprisonment Ikr
interfering wi^ the duties of tte
board.

THE NATIONAL SCENE
As Washington Sees It
Special to The Chronicle.
Washington, April 1. — There is
more and more talk here about the
importance of the farmer and his
family to the defense and aid-Britain
program. — -
In the first place, the war is ex
pected to beemne a food war and the
American farmer will be called upon
to supply the food needs to all de
mocracies.
In the second place, army leaders
arc showing a decided preference for
healthy farm boys as soldiers and are
pushing enlistment in the farm re
gions. One method which is proving
successful is the trailer recruiting
offices which cover the rural regions.
- In the third place, defense indus
tries, runhing short of skilled labor
and mechanics, have found that
young farmers, experienced in oper
ating and repairiiig motorized farm
equ^ment, have a - fundamental
knowledge of machines which can be
very useful. Thus the farmers are
being asked to supply the food, pro
vide a large part of the army and
help out Ml the industrial end of the
war program.
Although there has been a big drop
in export sales of farm products, that
drop is just temporary. Instead of
being replaced by direct export sales,
however. It will be replaced by huge
purchases by the government for ex
port purposes. The government wants
to control where food is sent and
will, at the same time, keep a con
trol over prices. It may permit prices
to rl^ somewhat but will keep them
from going high enough to amount to
real inflation.
The largest amounts of food will
