WASHINGTON--The war is costing the United States nearly $6,000,000,000 a month and the outlay for the current fiscal year alone will be about 78 billion --22 billion more than President Roosevelt figured on last January--the Bureau of the Budget disclosed tonight in a list of revised estimates.
The $78,000,000,000 figure represents an all-time high for war spending. In its simplest terms it means that with every tick of the clock the United States is feeding the war march $2473--more than the average war earner makes in an entire year.
