fAGE TEN THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM TUESDAY, JAN. 7, 1919. 4 17 Alt COST TO ALL BELLIGERENTS WAS 175 BILLION Peak of War Expenditures is Not Yet Reached in United States. WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. .7. In round numbers the war Indebtedness of all belligerents on botb sides In the world war totals something like $175, DOO.OOO.OOO, according to the estimate 5f the federal reserve board. The borrowing of such an enormous juantity of money, the board declares, bas been accomplished by "inflation," that Is to say by a general advance in prices. With the resumption of peace con ditions that inflation will have to be taken out of both commodities and wages. The deflation, however, can scarcely occur to any great extent In 1919. Outgo Still la Rising. In the first place the "peak" of the war expediturea in this country has not yet been reached. The treasury Is now paying out about $2,000,000,000 a month and the expenditures must con tinue to increase probably until spring. owing to payments oh contracts which fell due before, the armistice was signed and are Just being met, and the expenses of demobilization, which are quite equal to those of mobilization. -; It will therefore be necessary to issue a new government loan sometime during the first six i months of the coming year, and the amount of that loan can scarcely be less than $6,000. 000,000, or the same as the last Lib erty loan. The chances are that this new loan will be offered before June 1, and It may be as early as April.
