A SORRY CHAPTER
Secretary Morgenthau at a
recent press conference, said that
the government was considering
a new plan for financing which
would centralize all borrowing in
its own hands, and such a move,
though late, Would be very much
worth while. If this should go
into effect, it would bring about
the end of the double budget, and
that has been a sorry chapter in
the government’s financial record
of the last few years.
Our financing method hasn’t
been forthright. It hasn’t given
the people a clear picture of what
has been going on.
In discussing the Morgenthau
statement the Bhltimmore Sun
says: “The double budget was
set up and the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation, the Commodity
Credit Corporation, and other
agencies of like nature, were au- j
thorized to borrow whatever funds
they needed independently of
the Treasury an to spend without
reporting their expenditures
through the regular federal ac
counts. In the 12 months which
ended last June, for example, the
autonomous corporations bor
rowed $1,126,000,000 in the open
market, which did not count un
der the debt limit. They spent or
obligated this money mostly
for defense production, but it did
not show under the head of na
tional defense in the Treasury
statements, and it did not figure
in the deficit.”
In short, Treasury statements
have not been showing the go-;
vernment’s financial status. ‘‘By
the devious and unnatural process
of permitting these public agen-1
cies to finance themselves,” says1
the New York Herald Tribune,
“nearly $11,000,000,000 in debt
has been created which—because
it consisted of contingent instead
of direct liabilities— was not in
cluded in the government debt,
and so was not covered by the
debt limit provisions of the law."
It is to be hoped that Mr. Mor
genthau was speaking with the
certain knowledge that the change
will be made.—Fargo Forum.
POLICY OF SECRECY
CAN SERVE TWO ENDS
The proposed expansion of the
arms program is to be accompan
ied acording to the President, by
an increasing blackout of exact
.nformation as to progress in arms
productions. Too much informa
tion that Hitler would like to have
is going out, Mr. Roosvelt ob
served at his press conference.
Something is to be said for this
policy of secrecy, but it is only
fair to emphasize the point that
secrecy can be used not only to
obscure the glasses through which
the Germans look but also to cov
er up deficiencies in the organiza
tion of our own defenses. This
(particular point might be far
less important than it is had of
the President and his associate*
so often tried during the past
fifteen months to make it appeax
that defense output was more
satisfactory than was actually the
case. In view of the way in
which the "on-hand-and on-order*
formula has been worked, and
also in view of the officials dis
paragement of figures prepared
by Senator Harry F. Byrd and
others who have sought to in
form the public of the true state
of affairs, a certain skepticism as
to the proposed blackout of infor
mation is in order.
To the extent that the purpose
is to protect the country against
litler, it is good. But to the ex
tent that it is designed to protect
an often ineffectual administra
tion against legitimate domestic
criticism it apears in a less agree
able light.—Baltimore, Md., Sun.
