The tax hill reported by the House
Ways and Means Committee is the
> largest in history, adding ?3?29>
~ 200,000 to present taxes which raised
|7,67*006,000 in the fiscal year 1041.
v This will enable the Government to
meet about sixty per cent of the na

will be borrowed. vV.-S&M
DEFENSE ORDERS
Defense orders amounted to $9,
839,000fi00 up to June 1st. Six cor
porations received 31.fr -per cent of
* these orders. Nearly three-foruths
wait to 54 corporations.
BALLOON BARRAGES
A barrage balloon training ^center,
* with facilities for 7,000 men, will be
constructed near Pari% Tennessee. A
temporary training school, using hy
drogen-filled sausage bags, is now in
operation at Camp Davis, North
. Carolina.
. DESTROYERS
A new record for destroyer con
struction is seen in the launching of
two 1650-ton destroyers by the Fed
eral Shipbuilding' and Dry dock Com
pany, at Kearney, New Jersey, seven
and a half fnonths after the laying
of their keels. This clips a full month
from the previous record, establish
ed in January when the U. S. S. Edi
son was launched.
BIRTH CERTIFICATES
The Census Bureau estimates that
60,000,000 Americans, born in this
country, are .without documentary
proof of citizenship, partly because
many states did not provide birth
certificates at the time of their birth.
A plan has been proposed by the
Navy, War, and Commerce Depart
ments, asking the states to adopt a
"delayed birth certificate" system un
der which a citizen, by giving satis
factory proof, could get documentary
evidence of their American citizen

upward under ffc pressure ?* ????
- President Roosevelt has requested
Congress for legislation to deal with
the threat of inflationary price rises
! which wiH increase the coat of living
j and may seriously threaten the eco
nomic welling of the natkm.
Pointing out that consumers, with
greater incomes, arein the market
for a steady decreasing supply .of
goods ttye Chief1 Executive adds that
this increasing demand coincides with
increasing government demand. The
result, unless something is done
about it, will be that the biding for
existing supplies will force large in
creases in price.

!
The President's message to Con
gross explained that the nation stands
now, as it did in 1916, "at the begins
ning of an upward sweep of the
whole prion structure." Here are
some of the facts presented:
By the end of June 28 basic com
? modi ties had advanced *60 per cent
being recorded since January,
Index of 900 wholesale commodi
ties up 17# per cent, with 10 per
cent recorded since January and, in
the past sixty days, going up five
times as fast as during the preceding
period since the-oiitbreak of the war
abroad. , H. f ? \ ;?> -
Index of the cost of living has ad
vanced 5#, per cent, with 3 per cent
bring recorded since January and, in
the past sixty days, going up five
times as fast as doting the preceding
period since the outbread of the war
abroad.
Index of the cost of living has ad
vanced 5# per cent, with 3 per cent
being recorded since January and
"the upward pressure is now in
tense"
L *1 ? -- ??/'"h' I
For twelve months, as the presi
dent said, the nation has tried to
maintain a stable level of prices by
"enlisting: the voluntary cooperation
of business," which has been indirect
and circumscribed, challenged and
evaded. , ~
- . 2. ? - ..." ..j.
The Congress will hardly fail to
take appropriate action. The nation
has abundant knowledge of the evil
consequences of inflation and the
damage that can be brought about
by a false boom. There will be some
outcries, of Course, because specula
tors and others are anxious to take
advantage of the situation to their
own profit
U. S. BATTLESHIPS.
FEAR WAR UN PACIFIC.
"How many battleships has the
U. S. in the Pacific?"
This is one of the questions that
the public generally asks in connec
tion with the critical condition in the
Fair East, where it is believed the
Japanese will continue their aggres
sion until brought to bay by the arm
ed might of western powers.
? ? ? ? ;
Naturally, the Navy can hardly be
expected to run banner-headlines to
advise the Japanese the exact streng
th of the fleet in the Pacific? -More
over, if we knew the exact number
we wouldn't tell. This merely ex
plains that the discussion of our
strength is entirely unofficial and
without any "inside information."
Under the disarmament treaties
the United States had fifteen bat
tleships, three of them being on the
East Coast. This gave us a battle .
fleet, in the Pacific, of twelve battle
ships.
.. . ?
Two new battleships, the ftxrifl;
Carolina and the Washington, are In
service. Whether they are in the At
lantic or Pacific is not to be pro
claimed. Neither will the Navy con
firm the report that several battle
skips have been transferred from the
Pacific to the Atlantic ocean.-"'???&*
The Japanese .were allowed nine
capital ships, in the^dfcannamsn
pactst'- Since Japan gave notice of
her intention to abrogate the n^val
Hwntittffiiy agreement it is fairly ;ob
vioua that the Japs got a head-start
