Despite these inevitable tensions, domestic affairs are not neglected. The Administration must devote the next three weeks to putting the finishing touches oh its legislative program- Definitions of policy which are now being perfected; are not easily formulated with a Presidential campaign in the offing. It seems reasonable to believe that tlivl LOiUtCl W all JSiVtl'-iVii i. al defense problems and make certain recommendations in his annual report to Congress next month. Placing the Army and Navy on an effective footing will require enormous sums of money. A proposal to pay for armament in times of peace out of current taxes has a marked effect on public thinking. It affords a pre-view of the burdens which an actual war will bring to their doorstep. The last war was conducted largely through borrowing which cost the public about twenty-two billions of dollars. Senator Vandenberg, of Michigan, as a member of the Senate Committee on Munitions once expressed the sentiment of many of his colleagues when he declared that "It is the process of making war on borrowed money which primarily creates the sinister inflation out of which grows: (1) The opportunity for swollen profits; (2) The economic dislocation of the war era; and (3) the post-war calamity of deflation." In fact, existing plans for mobilization are designed to take the profit out of war, so far as it is practical, by a drastic taxation plan. One of the drawbacks to these suggestions for meeting defense costs out of current taxes is the political factor, es-1 era say that he could not sell the idea pecially during a campaign season,'to Congress without including at least which will be in full swing in 1940. two other commodities, corn and to- However, it is noteworthy that most i bacco.

Some of the early disclosures indicate that the British polity of making purchases in this country has greatly influenced price trends.

But whether or not the new members of the highest tribunal will go along with Mr. Wallace and his reasoning depends entirely upon the character of the legislative proposal as it emerges from the gristmill. , The city attorneys for the larger municipalities are wailing about the tain from state legislatures the necesm sary legislation to meet the need fos| increased municipal services by in-fs creased municipal revenue.

Some concern is felt that rather than have various commodities,, so purchased for war purposes, deterioriate while waiting transport overseas, a movement may develop to dump the surpluses on the American market with a demoralizing effect. As a consequence, representatives of American pro.ducers are 'on the alert against tariff tinkering by Federal agencies, especially under the reciprical trade agreements. \ Apparently Secretary of Agriculture Wlallace intends to^est the economic reasoning of the Supreme Court again. The highly controversial processing taxes, which were kicked out along with the N. R. A. in 1935, have been revampc i and streamlined. Wallace gave a broad hint as to his plans in an Oklahoma speech a few days ago1 in which he indicated that the revised processing taxes would apply to cot-! ton, wheat and rice.
