Defense Spree
In 1922 the U. S. spent only $3«0,-000,000 for Its army. By 1929 the dove of peace cooed so pleasantly that only $780,252,163 was needed for all defense—army, navy and coast guard. The upward swing in arms costs did not start until 1930. gained strong impetus last year and zoomed to unprecedented peacetime heights in the current congressional session. As the 1918-39 fiscal year ended and military men reached for new funds provided by a new year, the next 12 months indeed looked like record breakers.
Summing up this past year, Under-secretary of War Louis Johnson told readers of the Army and Navy Journal that 703 new planes (heavy and medium bombers, pursuit, attack, observation, cargo and training) had been delivered and that 733 more had been ordered, most of them single engine pursuit ships.
Upped 400 per cent under current orders were sound locators for anti-aircraft control: anti-aircraft artillery 210 per cent; aircraft artillery, 110 per cent; anti-aircraft control directors. 130 percent.
Journal readers also heard from the navy's paymaster. Rear Adm. Cay Spear, that his extraordinary expenditures next year will help U. S. industry: 10.5 per cent will go for materials; 39.01 for labor. But what Interested most taxpayers was how much America's defense spree would cost. Figures:
