So here. too. the depression accounts for another increase. Thus far we may total up the increases of $435.000.000 for public works. $155.000.000 for agricultural marketing. and $167.000.000 for postal deficit. and we have $757.000.000 toward that unexplained item of $1.231.000.000. Well. now add $246.000.000 for the adjustedservice veterans certificates known as soldier bonus. and this brings the total increases of 1932 over 1927 up to more than $1.003.000.000. and you can add to that $75.000.000 for Navy construction and shipping construction loans to keep the shipyards busy and shipbuilding employees at work. and $47.000.000 for additional aircraft construction and aviation activities. $37.000.000 in. settlement of war claims. and. finally. $69.000.000 scattered through various departments for Increased expenses. some of them due to the decennial census and some to immigration and naturalization activities. strengthening of the departments engaged in the detection and prosecution of crime. thus adding up to about $1.231.000.000. Of course. you are interested in learning whether these same items are to continue in the new Budget. which is now under consideration. and what has been done by way of economies. as compared with the Budget that comes to an end June 30 next. I promised last Sunday night that I would try tonight to trace the work that has been done on the new Budget. known as the 1933 Budget but beginning July of this year.
