During the war this sort of thing
was unavoidable. Nobody could tell

corole-noss. but on a comparatively
mall scale. The cost of government
used to be around 81.000.000.000 a
year.
"Since the war." concludes the
Herald. "the gross overspending of
appropriations has continued. The
lpendcrs have spent regardless of
what the Congress' appropriators
have given them to spend. Then the
Congress appropriators. by means of
urgent deficiency bills or other more

In considering a reserve, we already have a nucleus in our trained
units that have had experience in the war. I refer to the units of the
National Guard as well as those of the so-callod national army. They
have returned with traditions, biotin-y, pride of “nice, and high idnllof
