some people said, "There goes a lot more
the rat hole."
But now the ships ore coming off the ways at
o-week rate, and they look good. They are putting
Old Glory back on the seas on something of the scale
of Clipper days, and they give the Navy the kind of
auxiliary ship backing that it must have.
i the United States had confronted its
preparedness emergency si* months ago with no more
foresight in regard to ships than it showed before the
World War! Then 90 per cent of American commerce
was carried in foreign ships; we literally had no mer-
chant marine worthy of the name.
Even when the new construction program got
under way two years ago, the United States merchant
fleet was 90 per cent obsolete. But because we passed
the act in 1936 and began active construction in
1938 whot a different picture greets us today:
Of 179 ships whose construction began in 1938,
84 have been launched and 54 have been completed
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 —<7P>-
Trftftsury experts oak-ulateci today
that they wou'J have to borrow
about 5,000.00«,000 in 1SH1 to
finance the defense program and
wondered whether they could ge
some of it from the school chll
Iran as well as the bankers.
One plan being worked out by
the finance specialists includes
nnu'thing like the 25-cent saving
stamp* which children bought
luring the world war. Secretary of
the treasury Morgenthau recently
requested such a study.
Regardless of the final method
adopted, experts tlfUeve the fin-
ancing task Just ahead calls for
the greatest effort since the "lib-
erty" and "victory bond issues
enlisted th* dollars of the average
man and woman a generation ago
Authoritative reports have nam-
ed $1T,000.000.000 as the probable
total of the budget to be recom-
mended for the fiscal year begin-
ning next July I,Treasury e/perts
roughly estimated that expendi-
tures would exceed taxes by about
56,000,080,000. . .
For the heavy part of jiext year's
fund arising, the expert* put their
faith in the $1,000 bond as the
tried-and-true standby.
The second line, they said, might
be a complete assortment of
"baby bond " priced as low as
$8 apiece, with JVa 1-3 per cent off
for cesh
The 28-cent stamp for children,
however, fia# the experts wo-riecl.
They said it might be a fine patrio-
tic move, but the overhead costs of
selling the stamps might be too
high. On the other hand, they said,
it tnigh' not be such a bad idea be-
cause m many stamps would be
lost by the children that the gov-
ernrient would never have to re-
deem all of them.
Roosevelt Says United States Faces
Emergency Comparable Only jto War
By The Associated Prats
WA8H1NOTON, lJec 30 — </F>~
fvcsidftnt Rouftcvelt told the peo-
ple of the States last night
that they taqNpn emergency com
parable onlyST war, and that thus
ar all effort* for defense and aid -
to-Britain were "not enough "
The "business-as-usual" idea
would have to be abandoned, he
leclared, If those efforts were to
lie successful.
Speaking with great seriousness
in *i much awaited radio broad-
oast that went 'round the world,
the chief executive linked the na-
tion's future securUy with Bri-
tain* Jollity to achieve vietory.
The British people battling the
axis, he said, were fighting "an
unholy alliance of power and
Ml (which seek ) to dominate
and enslave the human race.
"Our own future security is
qreatly dependent on the outcome
of that fight. Our ability to 'keep
out of war' is going to be affect-
ed by that outcome."
"lfor us," he said, "this is an
otophy of government snd our
philosophy of government.".
The presidents talk with Un-
people — believed to luivc cons
inanded the lorgeut radio audience
ever to hear any xlniiUn
nouricemcnt of his — touched on
ten major points. In affect, they
were:
s "Never before since Jame-
stown and PI. mouth Hock luw our
American civilization been in such
danger as now."
2. Greatly accelerated munitions
production was imperative even
nt the sacrifice of luxury ¡roods
and non-essentials
3. "A steady flow of increas-
ing aid would continue to Bri-
tain. a* a virtual part of the
U. S. defense program, regard-
less of "threats" "from dicta-
tors."
4. "Our national policy is riot the
directed toward war. Its sole pur- | the
pose is to keep war away from
our country and our people. ' by
helping make possible British vic-
tory. Talk of plans lor a presert

In such an economy, prices of ordinary civilian
