BUDGET MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to provisions of law I transmit herewith the Budget of
the United States Government for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1938, together with this message, which is a part thereof. The esti­
mates have been developed after careful analysis of the revenues,
obligations, and reasonable needs of the Government, and I recom­
mend appropriations for the purposes specifically detailed herein.

P

art

I

The programs inaugurated during the last four years to combat the
depression and to initiate many needed reforms have cost large sums
of money, but the benefits obtained from them are far outweighing
all their costs. We shall soon be reaping the full benefits of those
programs and shall have at the same time a balanced Budget that
will also include provision for reduction of the public debt.
The fiscal plans of the Federal Government for these four years
have been formulated with two objectives in mind. Our first was
to restore a successful economic life to the country, by providing
greater employment and purchasing power for the people, by stimu­
lating a more balanced u&e of our productive capacity, and by in­
creasing the national income and distributing it on a wider base of
prosperity. Our second was to gain new advantages of permanent
value for the American people. Both of these objectives can be
accomplished under a sound financial policy.
Business conditions have shown each year since 1933 a marked
improvement over the preceding year. Employment in private
industry is increasing. Industrial production, factory pay rolls, and
farm prices have steadily risen.
These gains make it possible to reduce for the fiscal year 1938
many expenditures of the Federal Government which the general
depression made necessary. Although we must continue to spend
substantial sums to provide work for those whom industry has not
yet absorbed, the 1938 Budget is in balance; and, except for debt re­
duction of $401,515,000, it will remain in balance even if later on there
are included additional expenditures of as much as $1,537,123,000 for




THE BUDGET, 1938

recovery and relief. We expect, moreover, if improvement in eco­
nomic conditions continues at the present rate, to be able to attain
in 1939 a completely balanced Budget, with full provision for meeting
the statutory requirements for debt reduction.
In carrying out this policy the American people are obtaining lasting
benefits. Economic protection of the aged and physically handi­
capped is being secured through the operations of the Social Security
Act. Ability of the farmer to obtain a more constant livelihood has
been enhanced by the enactment of legislation especially designed
for that purpose. The home owner has been benefited through the
financing of mortgages at reasonable rates of interest. Investors in
securities are being given a larger measure of protection by the
Securities and Exchange Act. The market for corporate securities
has been restored and industry has been able to finance its long­
term requirements on a favorable basis. The rights of labor are
being materially advanced through operation of the National Labor
Kelations Act.
I plan to submit at a later date an estimate of appropriation for
additional relief for the fiscal year 1938, which I hope will not exceed
the amount of $1,537,123,000, previously mentioned. This hope is
based on the assumption that industry will cooperate in employing
men and women from the relief rolls in larger numbers than during
the past year. Many of those in charge of industrial management,
recognizing their obligation to the Nation, have furnished a large
measure of employment to the jobless. Today, while it is true that
in some sections of the country certain types of skilled workers are
still seeking employment, it is nevertheless a fact that the great
majority of those now receiving relief belong to the unskilled group.
It is my conviction that if every employer or potential employer
will undertake during the next six months to give employment
to persons now receiving Government help, the national Budget can
thereafter be kept definitely in balance. Without such cooperation
on the part of employers, the question of a balanced Budget for 1938
must of necessity remain an open one, for the very good reason that
this Government does not propose next year, any more than during
the past four years, to allow American families to starve.
To continue the gains we are making and to accomplish in the 1939
Budget a complete balance between receipts and expenditures includ­
ing debt reduction, we must now lay the groundwork of our future
fiscal policy.
While relief expenditures should decline with greater reemploy­
ment, the normal growth of the country naturally reflects itself in
increased costs of Government. Many of the old functions and
duties of Government naturally cost more as the industrial and agri­




MESSAGE TRANSMITTING THE BUDGET

cultural activities to which they are related expand in volume. The
cost of new functions and duties can be substantially reduced only
by curtailing the function or the duty. I propose shortly to submit
to the Congress a broad plan for placing the Executive Branch of the
Government on a sounder and more responsible basis of management.
The carrying out of such a plan will undoubtedly result in some saving
in expenditures; but it must be remembered that what is generally
known as overhead represents only a small fraction of total expendi­
tures in any large business, Government or private.
Expenditures must be planned with a view to the national needs;
and no expansion of Government activities should be authorized
unless the necessity for such expansion has been definitely determined
and funds are available to defray the cost. In other words, if new
legislation imposes any substantial increase in expenditures either
in the expansion of existing or the creation of new activities, it becomes
a matter of sound policy simultaneously to provide new revenue
sufficient to meet the additional cost. The success of such a policy
can be assured only through the full and friendly cooperation of the
Congress and the Executive. Of this cooperation I am confident.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Temporary miscellaneous internal-revenue taxes.— I recommend that
the Congress take steps by suitable legislation to extend the miscel­
laneous internal-revenue taxes which under existing law will expire
next June and July, and also to maintain the current rates of those
taxes which would otherwise be reduced next June. I consider that
the revenue from such taxes or its equivalent is necessary for the
financing of the Budget for 1938.
Postal receipts.— The estimates of appropriations for the Postal
Service included in the 1938 Budget are predicated upon the contin­
uance during that fiscal year of the 3-cent postage rate for first-class
mail other than for local delivery. While the Government makes a
profit on first-class mail, the Postal Service is not self-supporting
because it carries other classes of mail at a considerable loss, as shown
in the tabular footnote on page x x i i i . It should be the definite policy
of the Government to operate the Postal Service out of postal receipts,
and a continuation of the 3-cent rate will be a necessary step toward
the accomplishment of this purpose.
Civilian Conservation Corps.— The Civilian Conservation Corps has
demonstrated its usefulness and has met with general public approval.
It should be continued. I intend shortly to submit a supplemental
estimate of appropriation to carry the Corps from March 31, 1937, to

VII

yj il




THE BUDGET, 1938

the end of the current fiscal year; and I strongly recommend that Con­
gress enact during its present session the necessary legislation to
establish the Corps as a permanent agency of the Government.
Expenses of emergency agencies.— There are included in the 1938
Budget, pursuant to the direction of Congress at its last session,
estimates of appropriations for the administrative expenses of certain
emergency agencies and corporations. Such of the emergency agen­
cies and corporations as may be continued by Congress should
have all of their expenditure requirements made subject to the same
scrutiny that is given by the Bureau of the Budget to the expenditure
requirements of the regular departments and establishments; and I
recommend that a provision to that effect be included in any future
legislation for the continuance of any such agency or corporation.

R E V IE W OF THE FISCAL YEARS 1936 AND 1937, AND THE FISCAL PROGRAM
FOR 1938

This review concerns itself with the cash actually received and
paid out by the Treasury in the fiscal year 1936, with the estimates
of receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year 1937, and with the
fiscal program for 1938.
Fiscal year 1936
Receipts.— Treasury receipts for the year ended June 30, 1936,
amounted to $4,115,956,615, about $295,000,000 less than estimated
a year ago. As a result of Supreme Court decisions, the Govern­
ment lost about $457,000,000 in revenue from taxes levied under
the Agricultural Adjustment Act and the Bituminous Coal Act.
Had it not been for the invalidation of these taxes, the total revenues
received during the fiscal year 1936 would have exceeded the revenue
estimates of a year ago by $162,000,000.
The collection of taxes on carriers and their employees, estimated at
$33,000,000, has been deferred to the fiscal year 1937 because of
pending litigation. The receipts from income taxes were about
$7,500,000 less than last year’s estimate.
On the other hand, miscellaneous internal-revenue taxes produced
$136,488,000 more than was anticipated; customs revenue, $33,621,000
more; miscellaneous receipts, $32,053,000 more; and realization upon
assets, $1,483,000 more.
Expenditures.— The total expenditures for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1936 (exclusive of expenditures from postal revenues),
amounted to $8,879,798,258, as compared with the estimate of
$7,645,301,338 shown in the Budget submitted a year ago. This




MESSAGE TRANSMITTING THE BUDGET

latter amount did not, however, include $1,673,493,000 for adjusted
compensation payments to veterans. The expenditures for the year,
excluding these payments, were, therefore, about $439,000,000 less
than the estimate.
The total expenditures for recovery and relief were $2,776,796,469
against an estimate of $2,869,068,187. For the operation and main­
tenance of the regular departments and establishments of the Govern­
ment the expenditures amounted to $3,276,872,306 as compared with
estimates of $3,482,208,151. For statutory debt retirement there
was expended $403,240,150, and for interest on the public debt
$749,396,802, the amounts budgeted for these items being $552,025,000
and $742,000,000, respectively.
Deficit and public debt.— The gross deficit for the fiscal year 1936
amounted to $4,763,841,642. Excluding $403,240,150 for statutory
debt retirement, there was a net deficit of $4,360,601,492. The esti­
mated net deficit as contained in the Budget submitted a year ago
was $2,682,482,392, a difference of $1,678,119,100. As previously
indicated, the original estimate has been affected to the extent of
$457,000,000 as a result of the invalidation of taxes levied under the
Agricultural Adjustment and Bituminous Coal Acts and by the addi­
tional expenditure of $1,673,493,000 under the Adjusted Compensa­
tion Act. If it had not been for the increase in the deficit due to these
causes, the net deficit for the fiscal year 1936 would have been about
$452,000,000 less than that originally estimated.
The increase in the gross public debt during the year amounted to
$5,077,650,869, but this sum included an increase of the balance in
the general fund of the Treasury of $840,164,664. The gross public
debt on June 30, 1936, was $33,778,543,494.
Fiscal year 1937
Receipts.— The income of the Federal Government during the
fiscal year 1937 will increase sharply over that of 1936. It is expected
that the total revenue from all sources (exclusive of postal revenues)
will amount to $5,828,151,000. This represents an increase of
$1,712,194,000 over the actual receipts for the fiscal year 1936 and
an increase of $173,933,000 over the estimates contained in the 1937
Budget as submitted a year ago.
The general improvement in business conditions and the enactment
of the Revenue Act of 1936 have resulted in additional revenues from
taxes which will not only make up the loss in revenue due to the
Supreme Court decisions invalidating the taxes levied under the
Agricultural Adjustment and the Bituminous Coal Acts, but will
produce additional income of approximately $174,000,000.
Since the Revenue Act of 1936 materially changes the tax structure,
the individual items of revenue as contained in the original 1937




THE BUDGET, 1938

Budget will not be exactly comparable with the individual items in
the 1937 Budget as revised in this message.
Income taxes are expected to yield $2,372,900,000, or $946,325,000
more than was received from this source last year; miscellaneous
internal revenue, $2,274,968,000, an increase of $265,389,000; cus­
toms duties, $446,800,000, an increase of $59,988,000; and realization
upon assets, $31,830,000, an increase of $26,362,000. In addition, it
is expected that the new tax on unjust enrichment provided by the
Revenue Act of 1936 will amount to $82,000,000 and that the tax on
carriers and their employees will be $134,552,000, including $33,000,000 deferred from the previous fiscal year. The collection of taxes
levied under the Social Security Act will begin in the last half of the
fiscal year 1937, and it is expected that these taxes will produce
additional revenue in the amount of $324,600,000.
The only item of revenue showing any decrease is that of miscel­
laneous receipts, in the amount of $50,325,000, which is due to reduc­
tions in interest payments made to the Treasury by the Reconstruc­
tion Finance Corporation.
Expenditures.— From present indications expenditures for the fiscal
year 1937 (exclusive of expenditures from postal revenues) will
amount to $8,480,804,000. Exclusive of statutory debt retirement
and adjusted compensation payments, the total expenditures will
amount to $7,512,779,000, an increase over comparable expenditures
for 1936 of $709,714,000.
This amount is made up of increases of $371,192,000 on account of
the Social Security Act, $85,603,000 on account of interest on the
public debt, $194,161,000 for the general public works program,
$123,442,000 for national defense, and $221,914,000 for other pur­
poses; and decreases of $93,321,000 for the Veterans’ Administration,
$74,996,000 for the agricultural adjustment program, and $118,281,000
for the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The amount of the recovery and relief expenditures has been esti­
mated at $2,166,157,000, but there is included in the supplemental
expenditure items $650,000,000 from an appropriation of $790,000,000
to be requested of Congress for the purpose of carrying the Works
Progress Administration and related programs from February 1 to
June 30, 1937. This will increase the estimated expenditures for
recovery and relief to $2,816,157,000, an increase of $39,361,000 over
1936. The expenditures in the current fiscal year will include, how­
ever, the sum of about $165,000,000 for assistance given to individuals
and communities directly or indirectly affected by the widespread
drought conditions prevailing during the past summer. If this
drought had not occurred, the net cost of recovery and relief for the
current fiscal year would have been about $125,000,000 below the
cost for the previous fiscal year.




MESSAGE TRANSMITTING THE BUDGET

Deficit and public debt.— The current estimates for the fiscal year
1937 show a gross deficit of $2,652,654,000. Deducting public debt
retirements, the net deficit will be $2,248,129,000.
The increase in the public debt on account of the deficit, however,
will be only $1,348,000,000 since it is anticipated that $900,000,000 of
the deficit will be financed from cash on hand. The working balance
will be further reduced by net expenditures of about $42,000,000 for
trust accounts and $100,000,000 for the retirement of national bank
notes now a part of the public debt. This will reduce the working
balance from $2,225,000,000 on June 30, 1936, to $1,183,000,000 on
June 30, 1*937. The gross public debt at the end of the current fiscal
year is estimated at $35,026,000,000, an increase over 1936 of $1,248,000 ,000 .

The estimated debt at the end of the fiscal year is based on con­
templated expenditures set out in this Budget and does not take into
account any change which may occur as a result of the Treasury policy
in holding as “inactive” future acquisitions of gold.
Fiscal program for 1938
The expected increase in revenue and decrease in expenditures for
relief both reflect the general improvement which has taken place in
the economic conditions of the country. The Revenue Act of 1936,
which was designed for the purpose of replacing revenue lost through
the invalidation of processing taxes, of providing sufficient revenue to
amortize the cost of the adjusted compensation payments, and of
equalizing tax burdens, gives every indication of satisfactorily accom­
plishing those purposes. I should like, at this point, to emphasize the
importance of maintaining the productiveness of the present tax
structure, so that we may properly provide for the fulfillment of our
fiscal program.
Under legislation enacted during the last session of Congress, which
created authorizations for future appropriations aggregating more
than $1,500,000,000, there is included about $130,000,000 in the esti­
mates of appropriations contained in this Budget. Such authoriza­
tions are contained in the new Federal Highway Act, the Rivers and
Harbors and the Flood Control Acts, and the Rural Electrification
Act.
There is also included $812,225,000 for social security grants and
for the Government’s contribution to the old-age reserve account,
more than double the expenditures for these purposes in 1937, and
there will be for several years still further increases in these require­
ments. It should be pointed out that these expenditures will be
offset to a large extent by the increasing revenues under the
Social Security Act.

XII




THE BUDGET, 1938

No estimate of appropriation is presented for the needs of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, since its extension beyond March 31 of
this year is dependent on the action of Congress. In furtherance of
my recommendation for the enactment of legislation to continue it
as a permanent agency of the Government, there is included in the
“Supplemental items” an amount sufficient to meet the expenditure
requirements for the fiscal year 1938.
The following table show^s the distribution, on a functional basis,
of the expenditure figures contained in this Budget and compares
them with similar figures for previous years.

MESSAGE TRANSMITTING THE BUDGET

Receipts.— Treasury receipts in the fiscal year 1938 are expected to
reach a total of $7,293,607,000, an increase of $1,465,456,000 over
similar receipts for 1937 and $3,177,650,000 over 1936. This gain is
largely due to an increase in income taxes as a result of improved
business conditions and the operation of the Revenue Act of 1936.
The amount expected to be collected in 1938 from income taxes is
$3,365,300,000, a gain of $992,400,000 over the fiscal year 1937.
Miscellaneous internal revenue will produce $2,508,332,000, or
$233,364,000 more than is expected from this source for 1937. The
tax on unjust enrichment and the taxes on carriers and their em­
ployees from which $82,000,000 and $134,552,000, respectively, will
be derived in 1937, will produce no revenue in 1938, since under
existing law these taxes expire during 1937. The first full year of
tax collections under the Social Security Act will result in revenue of
$774,800,000 in 1938, which sum is $450,200,000 greater than the antic­
ipated revenue in 1937, when collections will be for only six months.
It is believed that customs revenues will rise from $446,800,000
during the present fiscal year to $463,000,000 in 1938, a gain of
$16,200,000. Miscellaneous receipts, however, will decrease $8,950,000, the 1938 collections being estimated at $151,550,000, as com­
pared with $160,500,000 during 1937. From realization upon assets
$30,625,000 will be received, while in 1937 receipts from this source
will amount to $31,830,000.
Expenditures.— The expenditures for 1938 contemplated under this
Budget (exclusive of those from postal revenues) will total $6,157,999,000, or approximately $2,323,000,000 less than is now estimated
for 1937. General expenditures for regular activities amount to
$5,841,968,000, as compared with $5,664,647,000 in 1937, an increase
of $177,321,000. The 1937 estimate, however, contains an amount of
$563,500,000 for completion of adjusted compensation payments to
veterans, so that the comparable increase over 1937 is $740,821,000.
For recovery and relief there is included in the expenditures for 1938
the amount of $316,031,000, which, of course, is not the full amount
that will be required for relief during that year. As previously
indicated, it is our present hope that the additional amount to be
requested for this purpose will not exceed $1,537,123,000. Thus the
total expenditure for recovery and relief during 1938 would be
$1,853,154,000, or $963,003,000 less than the amount estimated for
1937. Again I emphasize the contribution which employers can
make to this attainment.

THE BUDGET, 1938

The general expenditures include $860,000,000 for interest on the
public debt, an increase of $25,000,000 over the amount for the
present fiscal year, and $401,515,000 for statutory debt retirements, a
decrease of $3,010,000. Exclusive of the service on the public debt
and the payment of adjusted compensation to veterans, there is a
net increase of $718,831,000 in expenditures for regular activities as
compared with 1937. This increase is accounted for as follows:
For increased requirements under the Social Security Act, $436,337,000; for additional expenditures under the general public works
program, $132,519,000; for national defense to provide for the in­
creased strength of the Army as directed by Congress and to provide
for replacement of naval vessels in accordance with existing authori­
zations, $92,882,000; for the necessary funds for the activities of the
Railroad Retirement Board and for rural electrification, $39,566,000;
and for increased needs of other activities, $17,527,000.
Surplus and public debt.— The surplus for the fiscal year 1938, as
presented in this Budget, is $1,135,608,000, after providing for debt
retirement. Excluding provision for debt retirement, the surplus
will amount to $1,537,123,000. As I have previously stated, it is
hoped the additional needs for relief during the fiscal year 1938 will
not require expenditure of more than this latter amount. On this
basis the estimated gross public debt, on June 30, 1938, will be about
the same amount as at the close of the fiscal year 1937. This does
not take into account any change which may occur as a result of the
Treasury policy in holding as “inactive” future acquisitions of gold.
Appropriations.— The total appropriations recommended in this
Budget aggregate $6,839,000,000, including those for the Postal Serv­
ice, District of Columbia, and probable supplemental items, while the
appropriations already made and prospective supplemental items for
the fiscal year 1937, exclusive of requirements for recovery and
relief, total $6,261,000,000, an increase of $578,000,000 for 1938.
This increase is due to additional appropriations amounting to
$309,000,000 on account of the Social Security Act; $80,000,000 re­
quired under the general public works program; and $189,000,000
on account of departmental requirements, including the national
defense. The appropriations made and contemplated for recovery
and relief for 1937 total $2,215,000,000, whereas it is hoped that
corresponding appropriations for 1938 will not exceed $1,537,123,000.

The first section of the 1937 District of Columbia Appropriation
Act, approved June 23,1936 (Public, No. 762, 74th Congress), contains
the following provision:
“ Not to exceed $50,000 shall be available for expenditure, under the direction of
the President, for making an independent study of the fiscal relations between
the United States and the District of Columbia and enabling him to report to
Congress at the beginning of the next regular session, what, in his judgment, is a
fair and equitable amount to be paid by the United States as an annual contri­
bution toward the expenses of the government of the District of Columbia; such
sum shall be available for personal services without regard to the civil service
laws and the Classification Act of 1923, as amended, and for such other expendi­
tures as may be necessary in connection with such study.”

Pursuant to the above, I appointed a director and an advisory
committee of three members to conduct an independent study of the
various elements and conditions affecting the fiscal relations between
the United States and the District of Columbia.
The report contains detailed findings and recommendations with
the supporting data and information collected from the Federal and
District Governments in Washington and from 17 comparable
American cities and the capital cities of 21 foreign countries.
The application of the basic principles and recommendations as
outlined and detailed in the report is reflected in the following 3-point
formula, which I recommend be carefully considered by the Congress
with a view to enacting such legislation at this session as may be
necessary to establish equitable fiscal relationships between the two
governments.
I. Intergovernmental contractual services.■— Contractual arrangements shall be
established for the reimbursement of the cost of specific intergovernmental
services supplied either government by the other. Appropriations therefor shall
be included in the respective annual departmental budgets.
II. Capital outlays of joint interest.'— The National Capital Planning Commis­
sion (proposed in the report) shall determine the extent of the respective Federal
and District interests in capital outlays and improvements to be included in the
District budget.
III. Per capita governmental costs.‘— Pending the grant of broader powers of
local control over purely local affairs, the excess of the District governmental
costs per capita over the average of those in comparable cities shall be assumed
by the Federal Government: Provided, however, That such excess District govern­
mental costs shall be assumed only after allowance has been made for reimburse­
ments due to unusual costs occasioned by Congressional enactments.

I
also recommend that, concurrently with enactment of any legis­
lation which carries into effect the provisions of this continuing

XVI




THE BUDGET, 1938

formula, the substantive law providing for annual Federal contribu­
tions of a fixed percentage of District appropriations be repealed and
that the system of annual Federal lump-sum contributions be
abandoned.
The application of this formula to the 1938 Budget estimates
would provide for a net reimbursement by the Federal Goverment
to the District of Columbia of $2,533,357, made up as follows:
I. Intergovernmental contractual services_____________________
$1, 996, 407
II. Capital outlays_____________________________________________
536, 950
III. Excess per capita District of Columbia governmental costs__ ____________
Total_____________________________________________________

2, 533, 357

After the application of the formula there will still be a deficit in
the general revenue account of the District of Columbia of about
$9,800,000, which will make it necessary, of course, to provide additional
revenue. Sources of additional revenue are indicated in the report,

THE BUDGET, 1938

ANALYSIS OF REVENUE ESTIMATES
The estimates of the revenues of the Federal Govern­
ment for the balance of the current fiscal year and for the
entire following fiscal year are based on the assumption
that the existing tax structure will continue.
The tax revenue from practically every major source is
directly dependent, although in varying degree, upon
business conditions during the period in respect of which
the tax is levied. In making estimates of future revenue
it is therefore necessary to forecast the general business
situation for a period ending 20 months later. Appraisals
of future industrial production and profits, security mar­
kets, commodity markets, and general business activity
are necessary for determining revenue estimates. These
forecasts require analyses of a large variety of financial
and economic data, and they form the basis for estimates
of the aggregate amounts of taxable corporate and indi­
vidual incomes as well as the distribution of such incomes
by major sources, such as corporate and individual busi­
ness profits, wages and salaries, rents, royalties, interest,
dividends, and proceeds from the sale of assets.
In considering estimates of future revenue in connection
with forecasts of business conditions, it is important to
remember that changes in business profits and individual
incomes do not occur in direct proportion to increases and
decreases in the volume of business activity and in the
general price level. In periods of rising business, for
example, profits and incomes rise much more than pro­
portionally to the increase in the volume of business.
Consideration must also be given to the fact that the
amount of increased revenue which will result from a given
gain in individual incomes is influenced by the distribu­
tion of this increase among the various income groups since
a change in the aggregate amount of individual incomes
is attended by marked shifts of income from one surtax
bracket to another.
There is a definite lag between the time of collections of
income taxes and the time income is earned. Thus the
improvement in earnmgs in the calendar year 1936 will
appear in income tax collections for the first time when
income tax returns are filed on March 15, 1937. Because
of the privilege of making quarterly installment payments
of these tax liabilities, the collections will be received
throughout the calendar year 1937, thus falling into the
receipts of two different fiscal years. Hence, the esti­
mated income tax collections from both corporations and
individuals for the fiscal year 1937 are made up partly
from payments on 1935 incomes and partly from payments
on 1936 incomes. Similarly, fiscal year 1938 estimates of
income tax receipts involve payments on both 1936 and
1937 earnings. Collections from estate and gift taxes
and from the Social Security Act tax on employers of
eight or more also lag behind changes in general business
conditions. Most of the other sources of revenue reflect
such business changes within 2 months.

FISCAL Y E A R 1937

Total receipts.— As shown in the foregoing Statement
No. 1, the total receipts (general and special accounts)
for the fiscal year 1937 are estimated at $5,828,000,000,
an increase of $1,712,000,000, or 41.6 percent over the
$4,116,000,000 receipts from these sources for the fiscal
year 1936. The sources of these revenues may be broadly
summarized as follows:
[In millions of dollars]
Actual,
1936

e c e ip t s

Total revenues and receipts, general and special ac­
counts, are estimated (on daily Treasury statement basis,
unrevised) in the amounts of $5,828,000,000 for the fiscal
year 1937, and $7,293,000,000 for the fiscal year 1938,
assuming that taxes now scheduled to terminate or be
reduced in rate on June 30 or July 31, 1937, will be
extended and at the present rate. These amounts
represent an increase of $1,712,000,000 and $3,177,000,000,
respectively, over the $4,116,000,000 actual receipts for
the fiscal year 1936. If the temporary taxes are not




extended and the present rates are not continued, the
estimate for the fiscal year 1938 will be reduced by
about $500,000,000.
The subjoined table depicts the percentage distribution
of the major sources of revenue, both for the estimated
receipts for the fiscal years 1937 and 1938 and for the
actual receipts for the fiscal years 1935 and 1936. The
most significant feature of this tabulation is the reflection
of the fact that the income tax is again becoming the most
important source of Federal revenue as recovery from the
depression becomes more pronounced. Whereas during
the whole period between 1918 and 1932 approximately
one-third of the Federal revenue receipts was derived
from customs and miscellaneous internal revenue taxes
and approximately two-thirds from income taxes, the
income tax in the fiscal year 1935, reflecting the incomes
of 1933 and 1934, produced only 29.1 percent of the total
of revenues and receipts of that year. Percentages for
all subsequent years are shown in the table below. If
the temporary taxes are not continued, it is estimated
that the income tax will produce approximately one-half
of the revenue receipts for the fiscal year 1938.

Actual receipts from internal-revenue taxes and customs
duties amounted to $3,900,000,000 in the fiscal year 1936
as contrasted with estimates from these sources of
$5,636,000,000 for the fiscal year 1937. The figures are

a 13

ESTIMATES OF REVENUES AND RECEIPTS

not strictly comparable, due to the addition or elimina­
tion of taxes on certain items and to changes in the
method of taxing other items. Certain taxes which were
collected in the fiscal year 1936, such as processing taxes
under the Agricultural Adjustment Act and related
taxes, the bituminous-coal tax, and the tax on jewelry,
have now been eliminated from the tax system. The
revenue from other taxes, however, appears for the first
time in the estimated receipts for the fiscal year 1937.
The most important of these are the employment tax
and the tax on employers of eight or more persons, both
levied under the Social Security Act. The tax on unjust
enrichment is nonrecurring and will be collected only in
the fiscal year 1937.
Collection of corporation taxes under the Revenue Act
of 1936 will reflect in the returns for 1937 the surtax on
the undistributed profits of corporations. This act also
provides that dividends received by individuals shall be
subject to the normal tax.
The full effect of the Revenue Act of 1936 will not be
realized in the fiscal year 1937, since collections under the
provisions of this act will only include those payments
made in the months of March, April, May, and June,
1937.
Furthermore, corporations w^hose fiscal years
began prior to December 31, 1935, will not be subject to
the provisions of the Revenue Act of 1936 in time to
affect Federal revenues in the fiscal year 1937.
Income tax.— It is estimated that income-tax collections
for the fiscal year 1937 will amount to $2,373,000,000, or
66.3 percent more than the comparative figure for 1936.
This increase is due to the improvement in business con­
ditions, and, in addition, to the fact that collections in the
last 4 months of the fiscal year will reflect provisions of
the Revenue Act of 1935 (continued in the Revenue Act
of 1936) which increase surtax rates above the $50,000
surtax net income class, and of the Revenue Act of 1936
which make dividend receipts subject to the normal tax,
and impose a surtax on the undistributed profits of cor­
porations. A slight increase in back income-tax collec­
tions is estimated because of the increase in income-tax
liability and of the continued intensive drive for collec­
tions by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
The excess-profits tax estimate of $14,500,000, despite
better business conditions, is about the same as the collec­
tions for the fiscal year 1936. The collections for the first
half of the fiscal year are expected to be very much larger
than those for the corresponding period of 1936, reflecting
grieatly increased corporate profits in the calendar year
1935. This increase, however, is expected to be practi­
cally offset by the estimated decline in collections in the
last half of the fiscal year. This is due to the fact that
corporations have already availed themselves of the op­
portunity afforded by the Revenue Act of 1935 for redec­
laration of the value of their capital stock in order to
reduce their combined tax liability for the excess-profits
and capital-stock taxes.
Miscellaneous internal revenue.— Estimated collections
under the capital-stock tax of $139,000,000 show an
increase of $44,000,000, or 46.4 percent, over the compara­
tive collections for the fiscal year 1936. These collec­
tions directly reflect the revaluation above mentioned
which occurred in connection with the capital-stock tax
returns filed June 30, 1936, payment of which was received
in the early months of the fiscal year 1937.
P Total estate-tax collections for the fiscal year 1937 are
estimated at $305,000,000. The estimate of an increase
of $86,000,000 in the collections for the estate tax in the
fiscal year 1937 is only a partial reflection of the higher




rates and lower exemptions contained in the Revenue
Act of 1935. Although the new rates became effective
at the time of the signing of the act by the President on
August 30, 1935, the maximum time for filing final estatetax returns was extended from the previously existing 12month requirement to one of 15 months after the deced­
ent’s death. Hence, the fiscal year 1937 estate-tax
estimates contain the first 2 months’ collections chiefly
under the lower rates of 1934, followed by relatively low
collections for the next 3 months due to the time exten­
sion. Beginning with the December 1936 collections the
new rates are effective with respect to all returns filed in
connection with the estate tax. The estimated decrease
of $50,000,000 in receipts from the gift tax for 1937 is in
large measure due to the removal of special incentives
for gifts which existed in the calendar year 1935.
Miscellaneous internal revenue tax collections (exclu­
sive of taxes upon carriers and their employees, Social
Security Act taxes and the tax on unjust enrichment)
are estimated at $2,275,000,000 for the fiscal year 1937,
an increase of 13.2 percent over comparable collections
for the fiscal year 1936.
Each of the major classifications of miscellaneous in­
ternal revenue has contributed to this increase. The
revenue from alcoholic beverage taxes is estimated at
$595,000,000, an $89,000,000 increase attributable mainly
to larger expected sales of fermented malt liquors and to
probable increased consumption of distilled spirits, as a
result of improving quality, more rigid enforcement
activity, and increased consumer incomes. Collections
from tobacco taxes are estimated at $542,000,000, an
increase of $41,000,000 from 1936. The gain is attribu­
table principally to the estimated increase in the consump­
tion of cigarettes. The estimated increase of $9,000,000
in documentary stamp tax collections reflects anticipated
increases in the volume of trading on the stock exchanges
and in corporate financing.
Manufacturers’ excise tax collections are estimated at
$428,000,000, an increase of $46,000,000 over the previous
years. The gain is attributable in large measure to collec­
tions from the taxes on gasoline, automobiles, and lubri­
cating oils.
Sundry taxes are expected to increase
$6,000,000, reflecting principally the normal concomitant
of returning prosperity in the increased use of telephone,
telegraph, radio, etc., as well as an increased number of
admissions to theaters, concerts, etc.
Changes in estimated collections from principal sources
of miscellaneous internal revenue in the fiscal year 1937,

THE BUDGET, 1938

Other internal-revenue taxes.— The United States
Supreme Court’s decisions in 1936 invalidated the process­
ing taxes imposed by the Agricultural Adjustment Act
and the taxes levied under the Bituminous Coal Conserva­
tion Act of 1935 (collections from which were reported as
miscellaneous taxes). The act of February 10, 1936,
Public, No. 433, repealed the Potato Act of 1935, the
Kerr Tobacco Act, and the Bankhead Cotton Act of 1934.
Taxes imposed by these acts had yielded in the fiscal year
1936 revenue of over $77,000,000 from tax liabilities
incurred up to the time of their discontinuance.
Collection of taxes under the Social Security Act will
begin in January 1937. Title V III imposes an excise tax
on employers and an income tax on their employees
applicable with respect to employment after December 31,
1936. These taxes are expected to yield $253,000,000 in
the latter half of the fiscal year 1937. Title I X of the
act, providing for an excise tax on employers of eight or
more persons, became effective January 1, 1936; pay­
ments are due beginning January 1937 and are estimated
at a total of $71,000,000 for the payments to be made
during the current fiscal year.
The excise tax on carriers and the income tax upon their
employees became effective March 1, 1936, and terminate
February 28, 1937. The estimate for the collection of
these taxes in the fiscal year 1937 of $135,000,000 includes
an estimate of $33,000,000 back taxes from the liabilities
incurred in the fiscal year 1936 but unpaid due to a court
injunction restraining the collection of these taxes.
Customs.— Customs receipts for the fiscal year 1937 are
estimated at $447,000,000, an increase of about $60,000,000 over the fiscal year 1936. Revenue from duties on
distilled spirits and wines is expected to decline by more
than $2,000,000. In general, imports and duties there­
from are expected to increase because of improved trade
conditions.
Miscellaneous receipts.— Revenues from miscellaneous
receipts and realization upon assets for the fiscal year
1937 are estimated at $192,000,000, a decrease of $24,000,000 from the comparative receipts for the preceding
fiscal year. This difference reflects a reduction of about
$50,000,000 in the 1937 estimate of interest on obligations
of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This de­
crease is due to two factors, which made the 1936 figures
larger than normal and the 1937 figures subnormal.
Certain interest payments which normally would have
been made in the fiscal years 1935 and 1937 were made
instead in the fiscal year 1936. Offsetting items include
increases of $14,000,000 and $10,000,000 in the repay­
ments of loans made by the Resettlement Administration
and the Farm Credit Administration, respectively.
When the Budget for the fiscal year 1937 was pre­
sented to Congress last January, estimates were made
on the basis of then existing laws. Since that date,
however, considerable important changes have been
made in the tax structure and there has also been a
further improvement in business than estimated at that
date. The following table shows the original and the
present estimates of receipts for the fiscal year 1937.

FISCAL Y EAR 1938

Total receipts.'— Total receipts (general and special
accounts) for the fiscal year 1938, are estimated at $7,293,000,000, assuming that the temporary taxes are continued.
This represents an increase of $1,465,000,000, or 25.1 per­
cent, over the comparative estimates for the fiscal year
1937 and is $3,177,000,000, or 77.2 percent, more than
the actual receipts for the fiscal year 1936. If the tem­
porary taxes are not extended, the above estimates will
be reduced by $493,000,000.
Income tax.'— Total income tax collections are estimated
at $3,365,000,000, an increase of $992,000,000 over the
estimated collections for the fiscal year 1937. This in­
crease represents the first full year of collections under the
Revenue Act of 1936, which made dividends subject to
the normal tax and imposed a surtax on the undistributed
profits of corporations, as well as putting into effect the
increased surtax rates on individual incomes, first imposed
by the Revenue Act of 1935. It is also in part a reflection
of the improvement in business in 1936 and a partial
reflection of the estimated business recovery for 1937.
The excess-profits tax collections are expected to decline
to $6,000,000 for the fiscal year 1938 because corporations
have availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by
the Revenue Act of 1935 to make a new declaration for
the capital-stock tax and so reduce their excess-profits
tax liabilities.
Miscellaneous internal revenue.— The capital-stock tax
receipts are estimated at $142,000,000, an increase of
$3,000,000 over the estimate for the fiscal year 1937.
The estate-tax receipts are estimated at $464,000,000, an
increase of $159,000,000 over the estimate for the fiscal
year 1937. This is not only a reflection of the expected
higher value of taxable estates but also of a full year of
collections under the lower exemptions and higher rates
imposed by the Revenue Act of 1935. The gift-tax
receipts are estimated at $75,000,000 for the fiscal year
1938.
Miscellaneous internal-revenue tax collections for the
fiscal year 1938 are estimated at $2,508,000,000, assuming
that the temporary taxes are extended. This represents
an increase of $233,000,000 over the comparative estimate
for the fiscal year 1937. If the temporary taxes are not
extended, the 1938 fiscal year estimate is $2,032,000,000.
This is $243,000,000 less than the $2,275,000,000 esti­
mated receipts from these sources for the fiscal year 1937.

a 15

ESTIMATES OF REVENUES AND RECEIPTS

Each of the major classifications of miscellaneous
internal revenue has contributed to this increase. The
receipts from alcoholic beverage taxes are estimated at
$644,000,000, an increase of $49,000,000 over the estimate
for the fiscal year 1937. This increase is attributable
mainly to the estimated increased receipts from the taxes
on fermented malt liquors and to the expectation of
increased consumption of distilled spirits. Collections
from tobacco taxes are estimated at $569,000,000, an
increase of $28,000,000 over the comparative estimate for
the fiscal year 1937. The gain is largely the result of the
estimated increase in the consumption of cigarettes.
The estimated increase in stamp taxes of $5,000,000
reflects estimates of a moderate increase in the volume of
trading in securities on stock exchanges and of the extent
of new corporate financing. If certain of the temporary
documentary stamp taxes are not extended, the estimate
for revenue from this source would be only $42,000,000,
or $36,000,000 less than the $78,000,000 estimate for the
fiscal year 1937.
Manufacturers’ excise tax collections are estimated at
$449,000,000, an increase of $20,000,000 over the estimate
for the fiscal year 1937. The bulk of this estimated in­
crease is due to the expected larger volume of gasoline
consumption. Most of the taxes which expire on June
30 and July 31, 1937, are manufacturers' excise taxes.
If those taxes should not be extended, total manufacturers’
excise taxes are estimated at $43,000,000, representing
largely a carry-over of collections from tax liabilities
incurred in the previous fiscal year. This would amount
to a decrease of $386,000,000 in the receipts from this
source as compared with the fiscal year 1937. Sundry
taxes are estimated to increase $4,000,000 over the
$79,000,000 estimate for the fiscal year 1937, assuming
that the temporary taxes are extended. If they are not
extended, miscellaneous taxes are expected to yield only
$33,000,000, or $46,000,000 less than the estimate for the
fiscal year 1937.
The principal changes in the estimated miscellaneous
internal revenue receipts in the fiscal year 1938, as com­
pared with the estimates for the fiscal year 1937, with and
without the extension of the temporary taxes, are sum­
marized in the following tables:

Social security taxes.■— The fiscal year 1938 is the first
full year of collections of the taxes imposed by the Social
Security Act. It is estimated that the employment tax,
imposed by title VIII of that act as an excise tax on
employers and an income tax on their employees, will
yield $622,000,000 in the fiscal year 1938, an increase
of $369,000,000 over receipts from this source for the
fiscal year 1937. The collections of the tax under title
I X of the act, which is an excise tax on employers of
eight or more persons, are estimated to yield $153,000,000

a 16

THE BUDGET, 1938

in the fiscal year 1938, an increase of $82,000,000 over
the estimate for the fiscal year 1937. This is the result of
the collection in the latter half of the fiscal year 1938 of
two quarterly payments on the tax liabilities of the
calendar year 1937 at double the rates which applied in
1936.
Customs.— Customs receipts for the fiscal year 1938
(on the assumption that temporary taxes on certain
products, such as coal, petroleum, copper, lumber, and
certain animal and vegetable oils, are extended) are
estimated at $463,000,000, an increase of about
$16,000,000 over the fiscal year 1937. A decrease of




$2,000,000 from the estimate for the fiscal year 1937 is
expected in revenue from wines and liquors, chiefly as a
result of a probable decline in whisky imports from
Canada. In the fiscal year 1938, it is estimated that the
revenue from other classes of imports will continue
to increase. If the temporary import taxes are not
extended, customs receipts of only $445,000,000 are
expected.
Miscellaneous receipts.— Miscellaneous receipts for the
fiscal year 1938 are estimated at $182,000,000, a decrease
of $10,000,000 as compared with the estimate for the
fiscal year 1937.

THE BUDGET, 1938

ANALYSIS OF APPROPRIATION ESTIMATES

The foregoing Statement No. 2 presents in three parallel
columns the appropriation estimates for the fiscal year
1938 and the actual appropriations for 1937 and 1936.
Adjacent to these columns are three additional columns
showing the estimated expenditures for 1938 and 1937
and the actual expenditures for 1936. To avoid confusion
in comparing the figures in these six columns the basis
upon which the figures are presented should be explained.
With respect to the first-mentioned three columns of
figures, the 1936 and 1937 columns carry the appropri­
ations which have already been made by Congress for the
various departments, bureaus, establishments, and agen­
cies of the Government for these fiscal years, and the
purposes for which the appropriations were made. The
1938 column presents the amounts for these organization
units which the President has recommended to the Con­
gress for appropriation for the fiscal year 1938.
The appropriations, it will be observed, are of two
general types— annual and permanent. The annual
appropriations, ordinarily found in the departmental
supply bills, are voted each year by the Congress. They
are usually definite and specific as to amounts. They
may be obligated only during the year to which they
relate, but remain available for payment of unliquidated
obligations for 2 years thereafter before any unused
balance is covered into the so-called “ surplus fund” of
the Treasury. The permanent appropriations are auto­
matically renewed each year over a period of time by
virtue of permanent legislation, without annual action
by the Congress. Such appropriations may be either
specific or indefinite as to amounts. An example of the
latter is the indefinite appropriation to cover the interest
on the national debt. This type of appropriation, while
sometimes difficult to ascertain as to amount, does not
preclude an estimated figure for use in the Budget. The
number of permanent appropriations was greatly reduced,
effective July 1, 1935, by the Permanent Appropriation
Repeal Act of June 26, 1934. The Congress makes some
appropriations available until expended, or until the
object for which they are made is to be accomplished.
These appropriations are without a definite time limit, and
may, therefore, be called “ no-year” appropriations.
They are generally for the construction of public works
projects.
Turning to the three columns under the caption
“ Expenditures” , the column for 1936 shows the actual
expenditures figures for that fiscal year. These figures,
usually on a checks-issued basis, are adjusted at appro­
priate totals to the cash (checks-paid) basis, as shown on
the daily Treasury statement. The totals, therefore, are
on an actual cash basis. The columns for 1937 and 1938
show the estimated expenditures for these fiscal years on
a cash basis. The fact that these columns show expendi­
tures which are larger than the appropriations made for
the same years is due to the carry-over of prior obligations
for payment in 1937 and 1938. The figures in these three
columns are those carried in totals to the General Budget
Summary and supporting schedules. Hence the Budget
is, in effect, on a cash basis with respect to expenditures,
as well as with respect to receipts.
The italicized items appearing in the statement repre­
sent emergency appropriations and expenditures. The
totals of these various items are summarized and pre­
sented in the General Budget Summary under the ex­
penditure group called “ Recovery and relief.” This group
is carried in detail in Supporting Schedule No. 2.

comparison with the appropriations actually made for
1937 are to be found in a summary table at the beginning
of the estimates of appropriations for each department or
establishment, as these estimates are presented in the sub­
sequent pages of the Budget. The important items of in­

LEG ISLATIVE ESTABLISHM ENT

The appropriation estimates for 1938 show a net in­
crease of $1,120,758 over the appropriations for 1937.
Senate
The estimates of the United States Senate show an
increase of $2,000 for salaries and expenses, Joint Commit­
tee on Internal Revenue Taxation.
House of Representatives
There is a net reduction in the estimates for the House
of Representatives of $21,570 which results from decreases
amounting to $26,250 in the estimates for contingent
expenses of the House, and increases totaling $4,680 for
salaries of official reporters and committee stenographers.
Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies of 1937
The appropriation of $35,000 for the Joint Committee
on Inaugural Ceremonies of 1937 is nonrecurring in the
fiscal year 1938.
Architect of the Capitol
The estimates submitted for the Architect of the Capitol
for 1938 show a net increase of $1,023,088. The principal
increases requested include $376,735 for improving the
Capitol Grounds, $15,131 for maintenance of the House
Office Building, $114,155 for the Capitol power plant,
$33,400 for the Library Building and Grounds, and
$641,340 for the Library of Congress Annex which will be
completed from the 1938 appropriation. The decreases
include $114,293 for Capitol Building and repairs and
$51,180 for repairs and improvements to the Senate
Office Building, both of which are on account of items
that are nonrecurring in 1938.
Library of Congress
The total increase in the estimates for the Library of
Congress amounts to $152,240, of which $85,160 is for
salaries, $15,000 is for increase of the Library, $48,800 is
for printing and binding, and $3,280 is for the care and
maintenance of the Library Building. There is a de­
crease of $15,000 in the estimates for trust accounts under
the Library of Congress.

ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS AND EXP END ITU RES

Government Printing Office
The estimates for the Government Printing Office show
an increase of $15,000 for additional employees for the
Superintendent of Documents.

Executive Office
The estimates for 1938 for the Executive Office show a
decrease of $70,652 below the appropriations for the
current fiscal year, due to the elimination of nonrecurring
items for improvements to the Executive Mansion pro­
vided for in the appropriations for the fiscal year 1937.
American Battle Monuments Commission
The estimate for the Commission for 1938 shows an
apparent increase of $67,673. The appropriation for
1937, however, made available $100,000 from prior no-year
balances, which, together with the appropriation of
$71,000, provided a total of $171,000 for 1937. The
estimates for 1938 recommend an appropriation of
$138,673 plus $21,327 of the unexpended balances of the
no-year appropriation, making available, therefore, for
1938, $160,000. This is a reduction of $11,000 below
the amount available for the fiscal year 1937, due to
reductions in maintenance and other operating costs.
Board oj Tax Appeals
The estimates for the Board for 1938 show a net de­
crease of $3,000. The appropriation act for the fiscal
year 1937, however, made available $8,000 of the un­
expended balance of the appropriation for the fiscal year
1935, thus providing a total of $540,000 for 1937. The
actual decrease is therefore $11,000. The decrease is
due to reductions in salary expenditures, travel, and
reporting service, with slight offsetting increases in equip­
ment and other contingent expense items.
Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Birth of Patrick Henry
Pursuant to the authorization contained in the act of
Congress dated June 5, 1936, $10,000 was appropriated
to aid in defraying the expenses for the celebration of the
bicentennial of the birth of Patrick Henry held at Hanover
Courthouse, Va., July 15-17, 1936, such sum having been
expended by the Patrick Henry Bicentennial, Inc., in
accordance with the act.
Central Statistical Board
The estimates for the Board for the fiscal year 1938
show a decrease of $1,420 due to reductions of $1,080 for
salary expenditures, $600 for printing, and with an off­
setting increase of $260 for other operating expenditures.
Civil Service Commission
The estimates for 1938 for the Commission provide for
an apparent increase of $26,623,000 over the appropria­
tions for the fiscal year 1937. The appropriation act for
the fiscal year 1937 made available $6,000 from the unex­
pended balance of the fiscal year 1935 or a total of
$48,885,000 for the fiscal year 1937. ^The actual increase
is therefore $26,617,000. For administrative expenses,
$2,435,000 will be required in 1938,-which represents a net
increase of $100,000 over the same appropriation for the
fiscal year 1937. The increase is nonrecurring and is
77050— 36-------IX




a 87

made in order to enable the Commission to bring service
records up to date. The remaining increase of $26,517,000
is in the estimate for retirement and disability funds, and
is necessary to build up the civil-service retirement and
disability fund to a proper level and to provide $175,000
for a new item, the Alaska Railroad retirement and disa­
bility fund, authorized by the act of June 29, 1936.
District of Columbia Alley Dwelling Authority
The Authority contemplates continuation of the pro­
gram for elimination of alley dwellings in the District of
Columbia as provided in the District of Columbia Alley
Dwelling Act of June 12, 1934. To carry out this pro­
gram the Authority anticipates the use of unexpended
balances of the “ Conversion of inhabited alleys fund” plus
receipts derived from sales, leases, and other sources as
authorized in section 3 (b) of that act.
Employees’ Compensation Commission
The estimates of the Commission for 1938 show an
apparent increase of $5,114,450 in the annual appro­
priations. This is because the appropriation act for the
fiscal year 1937 made available the entire annual appro­
priation of $12,689,250 to the Commission from balances
of the special funds, “Employees’ compensation fund,
civil w^orks, 1934 and 1935” and “Emergency Relief
Appropriation Act of 1935” , whereas $3,451,160 is now
being recommended for the fiscal year 1938 out of the
remaining balances in these special funds for “ Employees’
compensation fund, civil works” , “Employees’ compen­
sation fund, emergency conservation work” , and “Em­
ployees’ compensation fund, emergency relief” , and
$5,124,450 for direct appropriation for administrative
expenses and the “Employees’ compensation fund.” In
comparison with 1937, therefore, there is an actual
reduction of $4,113,640 for 1938, consisting of increases
of $6,200 in connection with a contemplated accidentprevention program, $3,200 for a safety engineer, and
$3,000 for printing a publication on accident prevention,
with offsetting decreases of $4,119,840 in the various
employees’ compensation funds. Such reductions are
possible because of the decrease in the number of poten­
tial beneficiaries.
There is also a $10,000 decrease shown in the permanent
appropriation (trust account), for relief and rehabilita­
tion, Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensa­
tion Act, due to a reduction in the 1938 estimate of the
amount which it is anticipated will be received and
invested during the fiscal year 1938, thus making a total
net increase of $5,114,450.
Federal Communications Commission
The appropriation estimates for 1938 show an apparent
decrease of $245,000. The appropriation act for the fiscal
year 1937, however, made $1,000 available from the unex­
pended balance of the 1935 appropriation, thus making a
total of $1,875,000 available for 1937. The actual de­
crease is therefore $246,000. There is a decrease of
$400,000 due to the expiration of the special telegraph
and telephone investigations, with offsetting increases of
$100,000 in general administrative expenses to provide for
additional duties of the Commission in connection with
the radiotelegraphy provisions of the Convention on
Safety at Sea signed by the President on July 7, 1936,
and a nonrecurring item of $54,000 for new monitor equip­
ment.

a

THE BUDGET, 1938

88

Federal Power Commission
The estimates for 1938 for the Commission show an
apparent net decrease of $183,500 below the appropria­
tions for the current year. The appropriation act for the
fiscal year 1937, however, made not to exceed $16,000
available from the unexpended balances of the 1935 ap­
propriations, thus providing a total of $1,741,000 in 1937.
The actual decrease is therefore $199,500. The decreases
involve a reduction of $20,000 in travel expenses; $26,000
for a nonrecurring item of equipment; $27,222 in other
contingent expenses; $195,088 continued savings carried
forward from 1937; and $48,000 in rent. This lastmentioned item is due to the fact that the Commission’s
expenses hereunder in the District of Columbia will be
included in the estimates of the National Park Service for
1938. The decreases above mentioned amount to $316,310
and are offset principally by increased salary requirements
of $116,310.
Federal Trade Commission
The estimates for the Commission for 1938 show an
increase of $442,000 over the appropriation for 1937.
Actually, however, $678,163 is provided due to the elimi­
nation of nonrecurring items included in the 1937 allow­
ance. The increase provides $528,163 for enforcement
of the Robinson-Patman Act and a nonrecurring item of
$150,000 for the farm implement survey provided for in
Public Resolution No. 130, Seventy-fourth Congress.
Foreign Service Pay Adjustment
The estimate of 1938 for payments to officers and em­
ployees of the United States due to appreciation of foreign
currencies shows an apparent decrease of $54,658. The
appropriation for the fiscal year 1937, however, included
reappropriated unexpended balances of the 1935 appro­
priation amounting to $2,048,611, thus making a total of
$3,848,611 available for the fiscal year 1937. The actual
decrease is therefore $2,103,269. This decrease is due
to the decline in exchange v%Lue of the currency in certain
foreign countries.
General Accounting Office
The estimates for 1938 for the General Accounting
Office show a net decrease of $409,300. The decrease
represents nonrecurring items appropriated in the First
Deficiency Appropriation Act, fiscal year 1936, for the
additional work devolving on the General Accounting
Office in connection with the audit of soldiers’ bonus
payments.
Great Lakes Exposition Commission
This Commission was created by the act of April 25,
1936, for the purpose of participation by the United
States in the Great Lakes Exposition held in the State of
Ohio during the year 1936. The act authorized $275,000
of which the entire amount was appropriated.
Interstate Commerce Commission
The estimates of appropriations for 1938 for the Inter­
state Commerce Commission show an apparent increase
of $849,950 over the appropriations for the current fis­
cal year. When, however, reappropriated balances of
$157,000 are considered, the actual increase is only
$692,950. The principal increases are $2,950 for signal
safety systems due to increased inspections resulting from
increased speed of trains and possible need of changes in




safety signals therefor; $40,000 for expansion of the air­
mail contract work; and $750,000 for expansion in the
work in the enforcement of the Motor Carrier Act. There
is an offsetting decrease of $100,000 for the valuation of
property of carriers, which it is anticipated will not
hamper the Commission in revising its valuation data
currently.
National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
The estimate of $1,280,850 for this Committee for 1938
is $1,263,700 less than the appropriation for 1937. This
reduction is due to the elimination of two nonrecurring
items of construction, $1,100,000 for a wind tunnel and
$267,000 for lengthening of the seaplane model testing
tank and necessary equipment therefor. The decrease is
offset in part by increases of $80,000 for additional per­
sonnel required for operating the new facilities, $21,000
for equipment for new structures, and $2,300 for printing
technical reports which will result in view of additional
research facilities, leaving a net decrease of $1,263,700.
National Archives
The estimates for 1938 show an increase of $137,000 over
the amount appropriated for 1937. This increase is pro­
vided in order to permit employment of additional per­
sonnel and provide for other expenses incident to the
operation of the additional stacks, the use of which will be
necessary during the fiscal year 1938.
National Capital Park and Planning Commission
The amount included in the estimates for the Commis­
sion for 1938 is $293,700 more than the amount appropri­
ated for the current year. This increase and the entire
appropriation is incident to the needs of the Commission
in its work in developing a well-rounded park, parkway,
and playground system in the District of Columbia.
National Labor Relations Board
The estimates for 1938 show an increase of $50,000.
The appropriation for the Board for the fiscal year 1937
was supplemented by emergency funds of $38,429, thus
making a total of $773,429 available in 1937. The net
increase which is, therefore, only $11,571, will provide for
an orderly expansion of the work of the Board.
National Mediation Board
The estimates for 1938 provide for an apparent increase
of $11,265. The Appropriation Act for the fiscal year
1937, however, made available $14,904 of the unexpended
balance of the 1935 appropriation thus providing a total
of $389,404 for 1937. There is, therefore, a net decrease
of $3,639 in the funds available. An increase of $3,800
for one statistician in the Mediation Board is offset by
decreases of $2,100 in expenses for referee fees and $5,339
for contingent expenses in the National Railroad Ad­
justment Board.
Northwest Territory Celebration Commission
This Commission, created by Public Resolution No. 41,
Seventy-fourth Congress, approved August 2, 1935, is to
provide for the observance and celebration of the onehundred and fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the
Ordinance of 1787 and the settlement of the North­
west Territory. The act authorized $100,000 and the
full amount was appropriated.

The estimate of $34,000 is the same as the amount
appropriated for the fiscal year 1937. This appropriation
is for continuing legal proceedings in the litigation con­
cerning former naval reserves in the Mount Diablo
section.
Railroad Retirement Board
The estimates for 1938 show an apparent decrease of
$45,320,000. Due to the delay, however, in the payment
of annuities during the fiscal year 1937 there is sufficient
balance in the appropriation for that year to care for all of
the needs of the Board during the fiscal year 1938.
Requirements for administrative expenses, including
printing, have increased over 1937 by $1,300,000 due to
the cost of securing records on which annuity certifications
are based and of clearing an increased number of annuity
applications.
Rural Electrification Administration
The estimates for 1938 show an apparent increase of
$30,520,000 over the appropriations for the fiscal year
1937. The appropriation for administrative expenses of
the Administration for the fiscal year 1937, however, was
supplemented by emergency funds of $202,440, making a
total of $1,202,440. The net increase, therefore, is only
$30,317,560. This increase includes $317,560 for admin­
istrative and printing expenses, and a new item of appro­
priation in the amount of $30,000,000 for loans for financ­
ing rural electrification projects as defined in the Rural
Electrification Act of May 20, 1936. In 1937, funds for
loans are advanced, as authorized in the act, by the Recon­
struction Finance Corporation in an amount not to exceed
$50,000,000.
Securities and Exchange Commission
The estimates for 1938 indicate an apparent decrease of
$343,000. The appropriation act for the fiscal year 1937,
however, reappropriated $7,000 of the unexpended bal­
ances of the 1935 appropriation, making a total of
$4,245,000 available for the fiscal year 1937. The actual
decrease is therefore $350,000. This decrease results from
a reduction of $5,000 in contingent expenses and $345,000
indicated saving in the fiscal year 1937 which it is believed
can be continued in 1938 due to standardization of work
and other savings that may be expected as a result of the
experience gained by the Commission since the date it
was established.
Smithsonian Institution
The estimates for 1938 exceed the appropriations for
1937 by $24,750. This increase provides $4,800 for four
additional guards for the National Museum; nonrecurring
items of $2,200 for new fire hose and $8,250 for new watermain connections necessary because of fire hazards in the
National Museum, and $9,500 for printing.
Social Security Board
The estimates for the Board for 1938 show an increase
of $71,800,000 over the appropriations for 1937. In­
creases totaling $86,600,000 in the various grants due to
the increased number of States coming within the purview
of Social Security Act are as follows: Old-age assistance,
$65,000,000; aid to dependent children, $19,600,000; and




a 89

aid to the blind, $2,000,000. (These increases are exclu­
sive of the consideration of the availability recommended
for use of the unexpended balances of the 1937 appropria­
tions for administration and for grants to States for un­
employment compensation administration.) The de­
creases are $12,400,000 for wage records, a nonrecurring
item for 1937, and $2,400,000 for general administrative
and printing expenses. There is thus a net total increase
of $71,800,000. The decreases under general adminis­
trative expenses take into consideration a recommenda­
tion that the anticipated unexpended balance of the 1937
appropriation approximating $8,377,202 be made avail­
able in the fiscal year 1938.
Tariff Commission
The estimates for 1938 show an apparent decrease of
$11,000. The appropriation act for the fiscal year 1937,
however, reappropriated $4,000 from the unexpended
balances of the appropriation for the Commission for
the fiscal year 1935, making a total availability therefor
of $960,000 for the fiscal year 1937. The actual decrease
is accordingly $15,000. Of this amount $10,000 repre­
sents a decrease in salary expenses. There is a further
net decrease of $5,000 in printing expenses.
Tennessee Valley Authority
An Annexed Budget has been set up for the Tennessee
Valley Authority as in 1937, with the appropriation re­
quirements as they affect the general revenues of the
Treasury brought into Statement No. 2. The net ex­
penditures are carried to the General Budget Summary
and supporting schedules. The appropriation require­
ments for the fiscal year 1938 amount to $43,000,000, and
supplemental thereto is authority for the Authority to
incur contractual obligations in an amount not to exceed
$5,500,000 for equipment to be installed in dams and
power-houses, the details of which will be found under the
caption “ General Public Works Program.”
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Commission
This Commission, created by Public Resolution No. 49,
Seventy-third Congress, approved June 26, 1934, is
authorized to consider and formulate plans for the
construction of a permanent memorial to the memory of
Thomas Jefferson in the city of Washington. For the
fiscal year 1937 $15,000 was appropriated to meet ex­
penses of the Commission, in carrying out its duties as
described in the above-mentioned public resolution.
United States Constitution Sesquicentennial Commission
Under authority of a joint resolution approved August
23, 1935 (49 Stat. 735), there was authorized to be created
a Commission to plan for the celebration of the onehundred and fiftieth anniversary of the drafting of the
Constitution of the United States. In accordance with
the terms of a joint resolution approved June 1, 1936
(49 Stat. 1392), $200,000 was subsequently appropriated
to enable the Commission to make effective such plans
when received by it.
United States Harvard University Tercentenary Commission
This Commission was created by Public Resolution
No. 88, Seventy-fourth Congress, approved May 7, 1936,
to provide for the representation of the Government and
people of the United States in the observance of the

a90

THE BUDGET, 1Ö38

three-hundredth anniversary of the founding of Harvard
College and the beginning of higher education in the
United States. The act authorized $10,000, of which
$1,500 was appropriated.
United States Maritime Commission
The Merchant Marine Act of 1936, approved June 29,
1936, created the United States Maritime Commission as
the agency of the Government for the purpose of further
developing and maintaining an adequate and well-balanced
American merchant marine, to promote the commerce of
the United States, to aid in the national defense, to repeal
certain former legislation, and for other purposes. Since
the Commission estimates that sufficient funds will be
available on June 30, 1937, for 1938 operations, no estimate
is transmitted for 1938. During 1937, the Commission
will have funds by transfer from the Shipping Board
Bureau, the Merchant Fleet Corporation, and the Post
Office Department. During both 1937 and 1938, it will
also have available sums which it collects from the
repayment of loans and interest and from the sale of assets.
Veterans’ Administration
It is estimated that for 1938 the various activities of
the Veterans’ Administration can be conducted with a
net decrease in appropriations of about $2,300,000 below
the sum appropriated for 1937.
The amount required for pensions and benefits in 1938
will be some $21,000,000 less than was appropriated for
1937. Offsetting this decrease is an increase ol $7,500,000
for administrative expenses, $7,000,000 of which is due
to the fact that last year Congress reappropriated that
balance carried over from 1935 which reduced the regular
annual appropriation for 1937 to $86,500,000.
For military and naval insurance there is an increase of
$8,632,000. This item is actually decreasing annually,
but this year’s annual decrease is obscured by the fact that
Congress has reduced the appropriation for 1937 under
this head by $21,000,000, and reappropriated that same
amount from unappropriated balances occurring in the
fiscal years 1935 and 1936.
The increase of $943,000 for adjusted service and de­
pendent pay is necessary because of the large number of
applications received following the wide publicity given
to the payment of the bonus last June.
Under trust accounts there is an increase of $1,821,935
in the United States Government life-insurance fund and
an increase of $240,000 in personal funds of patients, less
a decrease in the general post fund of $489,671.

AND

CREDIT

A D M IN IS T R A T I O N S

The First Deficiency Appropriation Act, 1936, required
that in pursuance of section 7 thereof there should be
submitted for certain independent offices information for
inclusion in the Budget. The governmental credit cor­
porations and credit agencies mentioned below, with the
single exception of the Farm Credit Administration, are
those affected by the provisions of the act above referred to.
Commodity Credit Corporation
Section 7 of the act of January 31, 1935 (Public, No. 1,
74th Cong.), provided that the Commodity Credit Cor­
poration would be continued until April 1, 1937, or such
earlier date as may be fixed by the President by Executive




order. The $379,570 shown for 1937 is only sufficient to
permit operations until the date of expiration.
Electric Home and Farm Authority
The act of March 31, 1936 (Public, No. 484, 74th
Cong.), continued the Electric Home and Farm Authority
as an agency of the United States until February 1, 1937.
The $125,000 shown for 1937 provides funds for active
operations until that date only.
Export-Import Bank of Washington
Under the provisions of section 9 of the act of January
31, 1935 (Public, No. 1, 74th Cong.), this agency will
expire on June 16, 1937. Therefore no estimate is
transmitted for the fiscal year 1938.
Farm Credit Administration
The estimate of $4,000,000 for the Farm Credit Ad­
ministration for salaries and expenses for the fiscal year
1938 is the net amount to be appropriated and is the same
as the appropriation for 1937. The gross amount which
will be available in 1938 is $8,959,736 in comparison with
$10,644,467 in 1937. The decrease in the total require­
ments for 1938, amounting to $1,684,731, is due primarily
to the fact that funds available for 1937 included adminis­
trative expenses incidental to the making of loans to
farmers for crop production and harvesting. Since no
authority exists for making loans of this character during
the fiscal year 1938 administrative expenses will be
decreased accordingly.
It is estimated that $37,505 will be expended in 1938
for supervision of Federal credit unions from fees collected
from such unions under the provisions of the act of June
26, 1934. The corresponding figure for 1937 was $65,280.
Federal Emergency Administration of Public Vvorks
The estimate of $10,000,000 for 1938 is $16,000,000 less
than the amount provided for 1937. The amount allowed
provides for a liquidation program starting July 1, 1937.
Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation
The estimate of $18,000,000 for the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation for the fiscal year 1938 represents
an increase of $1,240,000 over the estimate for 1937. The
increase is due to the larger volume of loans to be serviced
and upon which collections will be made, and to the super­
vision, maintenance, and disposal of farm properties which
are acquired by the Corporation under mortgage fore­
closures.
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
The estimate for 1938 covers the expenses of the Board
to be paid from the appropriation of receipts derived from
assessments on Federal home loan banks and from other
sources. The estimated administrative expenses for 1938
are $22,019 less than the amount provided in 1937. It is
anticipated, however, that a substantial amount of the
allowance for 1937 will not be obligated. In addition,
no provision is made in 1938 for promotiomd activities to
provide for the establishment of new Federal saving and
loan associations, the conversion of State institutions, or
for other similar activities. There is a substantial pro­
vision for increase in the examining force in 1938 required
because of the increased number of member institutions
and of more frequent examination.

ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPEND ITU RES

Federal Housing Administration
The estimate of $8,500,000 for administrative expenses
for this Administration in 1938 represents a decrease of
$2,540,000 below the amount allowed for 1937. The
decrease is due to the expiration of title 1, insurance of
modernization loans, on April 1, 1937, the reduction in
expenditures for educational purposes, and standardiza­
tion of work in connection with the insuring of mortgage
loans.
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation
The estimate for 1938 is $19,180 in excess of the allow­
ance for 1937. It is anticipated, however, that approxi­
mately $75,000 of the amount provided for 1937 will not
be obligated. Accordingly, on an expenditure basis the
increase for 1938 will be in the vicinity of $94,180, due to
an increase in the number of insured institutions and
because of closer supervision.
Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation
Under the provisions of section 7 of the act of June 22,
1936 (Public, No. 739, 74th Cong.), the authority for
this Corporation to operate expires on June 30, 1937.
Accordingly, no estimate is transmitted for 1938.
Home Owners’ Loan Corporation
During the last 6 months of the fiscal year 1936 the
expenditures of the Corporation were reduced substan­
tially due to the decrease in the number of loans being
closed. The loaning authority expired on June 12, 1936,
and thereafter the Corporation was in a period of transi­
tion, its activity changing from that.of making loans to
servicing of loans and making collections thereon. These
new operations are now^ well under way and will probably
reach a peak in 1938. In order to provide for this new
program, the 1938 estimate is $32,000,000, or $3,000,000
in excess of 1937.
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
Section 1 of the act of January 31, 1935 (Public, No. 1,
74th Cong.), provided for the extension of the loaning
authority of this Corporation to February 1, 1937, or such
earlier date as the President may fix by proclamation.
The estimate of $9,500,000 for the Corporation in 1938 is
$2,445,308 less than that for 1937. The estimate pro­
vides for a program of liquidation. See Annexed Budget
for details of 1938 operations.
RFC Mortgage Company
No estimate is submitted for this agency as all of its
expenses are paid by the Reconstruction Finance Cor­
poration.

works requirements of the Government, such as Federal
highways, river and harbor improvement, and floodcontrol projects. The estimates of appropriations for
1938 provide a total of $465,466,314 as detailed below,
in comparison with $385,537,900 appropriated for the
fiscal year 1937. This represents an increase of $79,928,414
over the preceding appropriations. The estimates for
1938 are itemized as follows:
Tennessee Valley Authority
For the construction program of the Tennessee Valley
Authority during 1938, $43,000,000 is provided, an
increase of $3,100,000 over the appropriation for 1937.
In addition, however, to the appropriation of $39,900,000
in 1937, there is also available for expenditure during that
year $8,790,702 from unexpended balances from former
years, whereas there will be no unobligated balance at the
close of the fiscal year 1937 available for expenditure in
1938. This will thus be a total availability of $48,690,702
for the fiscal year 1937 as compared with $43,000,000 for
the fiscal year 1938, or $5,690,702 less for 1938 than for
1937. Supplemental to the 1938 appropriation require­
ments, however, is authority to incur contractual obliga­
tions in an amount not to exceed $5,500,000 for equipment
to be installed in dams and power-houses.
Department oj Agriculture
For the Department of Agriculture there are submitted
estimates of $150,000,000 for the Federal-aid highway
system; $5,000,000 for Federal-aid secondary or feeder
roads (including farm-to-market roads, rural-free-delivery
mail roads, and public-school bus routes); $10,000,000 for
Federal aid in the elimination of hazards to life at railroad
grade crossings; $2,500,000 for the survey, construction,
reconstruction, and maintenance of main roads through
unappropriated or unreserved public lands, nontaxable
Indian lands, or other Federal reservations other than
forest reservations; and $14,000,000 for the construction
and maintenance of roads and trails in the national forests;
a total of $181,500,000. This is an increase of $113,500,000 over the total for 1937, consisting of $90,000,000 for
the Federal-aid highway system, $6,000,000 for forest
roads and trails, $5,000,000 for Federal-aid secondary or
feeder roads, $10,000,000 for Federal-aid elimination of
grade crossings, and $2,500,000 for public lands roads.
The 1938 estimates for Federal-aid secondary or feeder
roads and for Federal aid in the elimination of hazards to
life at railroad grade crossings are the first estimates to
be submitted in the Budget for these purposes, being
authorized by the act of June 16, 1936. Federal funds
for these purposes have heretofore been provided by
allotments from emergency appropriations for relief and
work relief. The decreased availability of emergency
appropriation funds in 1938 for construction work on the
Federal-aid highway system accounts for the substantial
increase in the appropriation required for that purpose.

Second Export-Import Bank oj Washington D. C.

Department oj Commerce

In accordance with authority contained in section 9 of
the act of January 31, 1935 (Public, No. 1, 74th Cong.),
this agency was dissolved by the President, effective
June 30, 1936. This action was taken by Executive Order
No. 7365, dated May 7, 1936.

For the Department of Commerce the estimates for
1938 for public-works construction are $1,296,250, repre­
senting an increase of $949,250 over the 1937 appropria­
tion. Unexpended balances of prior year appropriations,
however, increase the total amount available for obliga­
tion in 1937 or subsequent years to $2,280,000. The
estimate for 1938 contemplates the replacement of a 44year-old lightship and 39-year-old tender, the recon­
ditioning of other vessels, and the establishment of aids
to marine navigation.

The estimates for 1938 for public works under the De­
partment of the Interior amount to $51,966,000 as com­

reduction of $13,674,900 below the current fiscal year.
The amount required by the Bureau of Reclamation to
provide for the continuation of construction and for ad­
ministrative expenses, to be expended from the reclama­
tion fund, is $9,665,000, divided as follows: Gila project,

Coulee Dam, Washington, $7,500,000; administrative ex­
penses, $750,000. For the continuation of the construc­
tion of the Boulder Canyon Dam and incidental w^orks,
there is included $1,000,000; and for the continuation of
the construction of the All-American Canal there is also
included $1,000,000, making a total for the Bureau of
Reclamation of $34,665,000, as compared with 1937 ap­
propriations of $54,610,000. The estimates of the Na­
tional Park Service for public-works construction in 1938
include $5,000,000 for construction of roads and trails in
national parks and monuments under the authority of
section 4 of the act of June 16, 1936, and $5,000,000 for
continuing the construction and maintenance of the Blue
Ridge Parkway, established by the act of June 30, 1936,
under the authority of section 5 of the act of June 16,
1936. For the Bureau of Indian Affairs, there is included
$6,995,000, of which $2,090,000 is for the construction,
repair, and rehabilitation of irrigation systems on Indian
reservations, $3,000,000 is for the construction of roads
on Indian reservations under the authority of section 6
of the act of June 16, 1936, and $1,905,000 is for the con­
struction, repair, and rehabilitation of buildings and util­
ities of the Indian Service.
Department oj Justice
The estimate of $350,000 for construction work under
the Department of Justice is for buildings and equipment
at penal and correctional institutions, and includes
$250,000 for extension to existing facilities for the United
States penitentiaries at Leavenworth, Kans., Atlanta,
Ga., and Lewisburg, Pa., United States Industrial Re­
formatory at Chillicothe, Ohio, United States South­
western Reformatory at El Reno, Okla., United States
Hospital for Defective Delinquents at Springfield, Mo.,
Federal Industrial Institution for Women at Alderson,
W . Va., Federal Reformatory Camp at Petersburg, Va.,
and Federal jails at La Tuna, Tex., and Milan, Mich.,
and $100,000 for the construction of dwellings for prison
officers at Alderson, Petersburg, La Tuna, and Milan.
These 1938 estimates are in contrast to a 1937 appropria­
tion of $2,550,000 made for buildings and equipment at




penal and correctional institutions, including the estab­
lishment of three new Federal jails (not to exceed
$1,700,000), construction of dwellings for prison officers
at existing institutions (not to exceed $300,000), with the
remainder for altering and adapting other Government
property for prison purposes, and extensions to existing
facilities.
Department oj State
The estimate of $3,900,000 for construction work under
the Department of State is for the International Boundary
Commission, United States and Mexico, of which $900,000
is for the rectification of the Rio Grande in the El PasoJuarez Valley under the convention concluded February 1,
1933, between the United States and Mexico; $1,500,000
for construction, including surveys and other preliminary
expenses, of the United States portion of the project for
flood control on the lower Rio Grande, as authorized by
the act approved August 19, 1935, as amended by the act
of May 22, 1936; and $1,500,000 for beginning construc­
tion of the Rio Grande canalization project as authorized
by the acts approved August 29, 1935, and June 4, 1936,
including not to exceed $400,000 for completion of the
construction of a diversion dam in the Rio Grande wholly
in the United States with appurtenant connections to
existing irrigation systems. These 1938 estimates closely
approximate the 1937 appropriation of $3,800,000 made
for construction by the International Boundary Commis­
sion, United States and Mexico, consisting of $1,200,000
for rectification of the Rio Grande in the El Paso-Juarez
Valley, $1,600,000 for the lower Rio Grande flood-control
project, and $1,000,000 for beginning construction of the
diversion dam.
Treasury Department
The estimates for 1938 for public works under the
Treasury Department amount to $40,131,963, as com­
pared with appropriations for 1937 of $65,550,000. For
the construction of public buildings outside the District
of Columbia to be selected by the Secretary of the Treas­
ury and Postmaster General, acting jointly, from public
building projects specified in Statement No. 1 contained
in House Report No. 1879, Seventy-third Congress,
second session, as revised, and Statement No. 2 attached
thereto, the sum of $23,000,000 is requested.
For public buildings in the District of Columbia there
is included $7,025,000, of which amount $1,500,000 is
for continuation of construction of annex buildings for the
Government Printing Office, $2,325,000 is for completion
of construction of the additional building for the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, $3,000,000 is for a site and
construction of a new building for the War Department
under a limit of cost of $26,000,000, and $200,000 is for
the acquisition of premises designated as 1724 F Street
N W ., which are now leased to the Government.
There is also included an item of $10,106,963 for the
purchase of the Grand Central Station Post Office and
office building, New York City, in accordance with the
provisions of the act, approved July 12, 1932.
War Department
For the War Department there is included a total
estimate of $143,322,101, consisting of estimates of
$90,822,101 for the prosecution of such projects of im­
provement on rivers and harbors heretofore authorized by
Congress as may be most desirable in the interests of
commerce and navigation; $30,000,000 for initiating work
of flood control on various rivers and waterways under the

ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES

provisions of the Omnibus Flood Control Act of June
22, 1936, including $500,000 for the making of preliminary
examinations and surveys of flood-control projects by the
War Department and $500,000 for expenditure by the
Department of Agriculture for preliminary examinations
and surveys for run-off and water-flow retardation and
soil erosion prevention on the watersheds of flood-control
projects; and $22,500,000 for continuing the work of flood
control on the Mississippi River and tributaries under the
provisions of the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, as
amended by the act of June 15, 1936. The total net
increase for 1938 over 1937 amounts to $7,572,101,
consisting of a decrease of $29,927,899 for the improve­
ment of rivers and harbors, and increases of $30,000,000
for flood control under the Omnibus Flood Control Act
and $7,500,000 for flood control on the Mississippi River
and its tributaries.

The estimates of appropriations for the Department of
Agriculture for the fiscal year 1938 involve apparently a
net increase of only $15,165,555.96 over the appropria­
tions for the fiscal year 1937. In addition to such funds,
there was made available b}^ Congress for 1937 $54,364,000
of unobligated balances of prior year appropriations, and
for 1938 the Budget estimates contemplate the provision
of funds of this character to the extent of $75,864,000.
Adding these figures to the facial appropriations made
for 1937 and those estimated for 1938 gives a total avail­
ability of $713,711,399.04 for 1937 and $750,376,955 for
1938, an increase for 1938 of $36,665,555.96. The prin­
cipal items of increase and decrease which constitute
these differences are summarized as follows:
For the Office of Experiment Stations, the sum of
$622,500 is provided for statutory increases in payments
for Federal aid to the States, Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto
Rico. For the special research fund established under
the authorization contained in title I of the BankheadJones Act of June 29, 1935, providing for special research
in basic laws and principles relating to agriculture, and
for the establishment and maintenance of research
laboratories in major agricultural regions, a statutory
increase of $400,000 is provided.
For the activities of the Extension Service, which unit
administers the Smith-Lever, Capper-Ketcham, Bankhead-Jones, and other acts providing payments to States,
Hawaii, and Alaska for cooperative agricultural extension
work, a net increase of $369,000 is included. Increases
consist principally of a statutory provision of $1,000,000
for payments to States under the Bankhead-Jones Act,
and a statutory provision of $5,000 for payment to
Alaska, which increases are offset in part by a total
decrease of $645,000 in two other appropriations made
annually for the same purpose.
The estimates for the Weather Bureau provide a total
increase of $387,861, the principal components of which
are $25,000 for the purchase of an offset lithographic press;
$67,280 for strengthening the service and research
activities; and $148,861 for improvement of the Federal
airway meteorological service. In addition, the sum of
$140,000 has been added to the appropriations of that
Bureau by transfer from the Department of Commerce
for communication costs of airway weather reports from
stations off the commercial airways or not now equipped
with radio and teletype facilities.
Under the Bureau of Animal Industry, a net increase of
$299,135 is provided, consisting principally of $19,877
for increased maintenance and operation costs at the




A93

agricultural research center at Beltsville, M d.; $103,000
for the payment of indemnities for cattle slaughtered
because of tuberculosis; $6,000 to meet demands for
additional inspection and quarantine work at western
market centers; and $174,806 for additional Federal meat
inspection service.
For the Bureau of Plant Industry a reduction of $40,578
for dry-land agriculture is estimated, and increases of
$138,614 for various activities in connection with plant
research and related problems.
The estimates of annual appropriations for the Forest
Service, dealing, among other things, with the administra­
tion of the national forests and the application of forestry
on both public and privately owned lands, indicate a net
increase of $1,756,177 over the amount appropriated for
1937. This increase embraces items of $42,268 for general
administration; $700,000 for protection and administra­
tion of the national forests; $39,909 for forest manage­
ment investigations; $44,000 for range investigations;
$20,000 for investigations at the forest products labora­
tory, Madison, Wis.; $20,000 for forest survey work;
$30,000 for forest economics investigations; and $1,000,000
for cooperative acquisition of lands for State forests
under the Fulmer Act of August 29, 1935. There is a
net reduction of $140,000 in the item for forest influences,
made up of a decrease of $170,000 due to liquidation of
the so-called shelterbelt project of trees and shrubs in
the Plains region, offset in part by an increase of $30,000
for investigations relative to watershed management.
For the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils a total increase
of $61,916 is provided for 1938, of which $49,757 is for
investigations of the industrial utilization of farm prod­
ucts and byproducts; $10,000 for investigations respect­
ing agricultural fires and explosive dusts; and $2,159 for
naval stores investigations.
The net increase of $12,845 in the estimates for the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine contem­
plates a total increase of $722,845 over current appropria­
tions for various activities dealing with investigations on
insects and their economic relations, the development and
application of methods of control and eradication of insect
pests, and the utilization of certain species of insects as
parasites. This increase is largely offset by a total re­
duction of $710,000 made possible by the élimination of
two nonrecurring items of $460,000 and $250,000.
For the Bureau of Biological Survey there is a net in­
crease of $144,116, consisting of a total increase of $174,228 for administration, for research into the habits of
birds and animals, for protection of migratory birds, and
for the maintenance of mammal and bird reservations,
and a total decrease of $30,112 in two items of appro­
priation.
No figures are included in the estimates of the Depart­
ment of Agriculture for the Bureau of Public Roads.
There is, however, included elsewhere in the Budget
under the heading “ General Public Works Program” a
total estimate of appropriations of $181,500,000 to the
Department of Agriculture for the construction of Federalaid highways, secondary or feeder roads, public lands
highways, and forest roads and trails, and for the elimi­
nation of grade crossings, compared with total appropria­
tions of $68,000,000 for 1937 for construction of Federalaid highways and forest roads and trails, or an increase for
1938 of $113,500,000.
For the Bureau of Agricultural Economics a total
increase of $188,954 over 1937 appropriations is provided.
This covers a number of projects relating largely to studies
of the economics of production and marketing, farm

a 94

organization, farm financial problems, rural life, and the
acquisition and dissemination of current information
regarding the marketing and distribution of farm products.
For the Commodity Exchange Administration (formerly
Grain Futures Administration), an increase of $393,500
is included to provide for the first full year of operation
in carrying out the purposes of the Commodity Exchange
Act of June 15, 1936, which expanded the scope of the
Grain Futures Act of September 21, 1922.
The estimates for the Food and Drug Administration
include an increase of $200,000 to enable that Adminis­
tration to provide more rigid enforcement of the Federal
food and drugs law.
For the Soil Conservation Service there is estimated a
net increase of $130,735, made up of increases totaling
$759,220 for general administration and for soil and mois­
ture conservation investigations; and a decrease of
$628,485 in the funds available for soil and moisture con­
servation operations, demonstrations, and information,
made possible by reason of changes in the programs for
the fiscal years 1937 and 1938.
^ The Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act of
February 29, 1936, provides for carrying forward an agri­
cultural land conservation program designed to replace
the agricultural adjustment program which was invali­
dated by the decision of the Supreme Court of January 6,
1936. For 1937, for this purpose, a direct appropriation
of $440,000,000 was made, plus an authorization for the
use of $30,000,000 of the funds made available under the
head “ Payments for agricultural adjustment” in the
Supplemental Appropriation Act, fiscal year 1936, or a
total availability of $470,000,000. For the fiscal year
1938, the Budget provides for the same amount by direct
appropriation, $440,000,000, but also makes provision for
an additional $60,000,000 from other sources. The total
amount to be available for 1938, therefore, is $500,000,000,
representing an increase over funds provided for 1937 of
$30,000,000. Due to the fact that the programs to be
carried on under the Soil Conservation and Domestic
Allotment Act in the fiscal year 1938 will be in full force
and effect during that year, whereas for the fiscal year
1937 these programs will not reach the point of full
operation, it has been necessary to make provision to the
extent of an additional $30,000,000 for the operation of
the agricultural conservation program to the full extent
authorized by law.
For the elimination of diseased dairy and beef cattle,
and for experimentation in livestock diseases, the Budget
for 1938 continues the policy established by Congress for
1937 of providing for these activities by the reappro­
priation of unobligated balances of prior year appropria­
tions for this same purpose. For the fiscal year 1937, the
Department of Agriculture Appropriation Act made
$24,364,000 available by this method, which included
$7,500,000 for the removal of surplus dairy products. For
1938, the use of the sum of $15,864,000 of unobligated
balances is recommended, which excludes $7,500,000 for
the removal of surplus dairy products, to be financed in
1938 from funds available under section 32 of the Agri­
cultural Adjustment Act, as amended.
Under the classification of “permanent appropriations”
(not requiring annual consideration by Congress), a total
increase of $11,008,871.96 is included in the Budget for
1938. Of this amount, $10,860,378.96 represents the
difference between the amount of $109,139,621.04 for 1937
and the amount of $120,000,000 for 1938, made available
by section 32 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as
amended, which provides permanent indefinite annual




appropriations equal to 30 percent of the gross annual
receipts from customs duties collected under the customs
laws, to be used by the Secretary of Agriculture to
encourage exportation and domestic consumption of
agricultural commodities. The balance of the increase,
amounting to $148,493, consists principally of statutory
payments to States from receipts derived from national
forests located within the respective States.
For the trust account item, “ Cooperative work, Forest
Service” , the reduction of $1,000,000 for 1938 is due to the
difference between the contributions for 1937 and those
estimated for 1938.

COM M ERCE

Estimates for the Department of Commerce for 1938
contemplate a net increase of nearly $4,000,000 over the
appropriations for 1937. This figure is exclusive of
$1,296,250 for construction included in the General
Public Works Program discussed elsewhere in the Budget.
The net increases for the bureaus of the Department in
the order of their amount are $2,610,000 for the Bureau of
Air Commerce, $630,640 for the Bureau of Marine
Inspection and Navigation, $389,200 for the National
Bureau of Standards, $300,000 for the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, $181,300 for the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, $107,500 for the Bureau of the Census,
$92,560 for the Bureau of Fisheries, and $50,400 for the
Office of the Secretary. Net decreases of $45,000 for the
Patent Office and $76,440 for the Bureau of Lighthouses
are provided. Other decreases are $249,000 incidental to
the transfer of the Shipping Board Bureau to the United
States Maritime Commission and a reduction of $1,950
in trust account needs for 1938.
For 1937 a nonrecurring item of $35,000 for the General
Committee of the Accident Prevention Conference was
provided. Taking this into consideration, there is
provided for the office of the Secretary of Commerce for
1938 a gross increase of $85,400, the principal item in
which is $57,000 for printing and binding.
In the 1937 appropriations aviation weather reporting
and air mapping were among the functions of the Bureau
of Air Commerce. It is now provided that those activi­
ties shall be assumed by the Department of Agriculture
and the Coast and Geodetic Survey of this Department.
In addition, the salaries of two Bureau of Air Commerce
employees are for 1938 charged to the Office of the Secre­
tary of Commerce instead of to the Bureau of Air Com­
merce. Taking these adjustments into consideration
there is a gross increase in the estimates for the Bureau
of Air Commerce amounting to $2,831,220, the principal
items in which are $33,120 for additional departmental
personnel incident to the expanded field program con­
templated for the coming year; $2,150,780 for the first
year of a 3-year program to modernize completely the
existing airway aids and to establish additional aids;
$386,520 to maintain and operate such air navigation
aids; and $260,800 for inspection, licensing, and regulatory
work including provision for the completion of 6 and the
installation of 11 air traffic control stations at congested
air terminals.
For the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce a
new item of appropriation in the sum of $300,000 is
included to enable the Bureau to ascertain current busi
ness fects and obtain statistics relating to industrial
economics, to analyze these data and business structures,
and to study problems of production, distribution, and
competition.

ESTIM ATES OF APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPEND ITU RES

For the Bureau of the Census a net increase of $107,500
is estimated, which, together with $220,000 of nonrecur­
ring items, is equivalent to a gross increase of $327,500,
which will be used for compiling the quinquennial census
of electrical industries, vital statistics, financial sta­
tistics of cities and States, and for beginning the calendar
year 1937 biennial census of manufacturers; for fur­
nishing evidence of age of beneficiaries under the Social
Security Act which cannot otherwise be obtained; and
$50,000 for work preparatory to taking the 1940 census.
For the administration of five acts enacted during the
closing days of the Seventy-fourth Congress (Public,
Nos. 238, 622, 720, 765, and 808) the estimates for the
Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation carry in­
creases of $630,640. This is made up of three items as
follows: $4,940 incident to the reallocation of positions in
the departmental services by the Civil Service Commis­
sion; $118,540 for new employees in the District of Colum­
bia, and $512,100 for additional salaries and additional
employees in the field service.
For the National Bureau of Standards an increase of
$389,200 is estimated. Of this, $300,000 represents a new
item, the first year’s expenses of a 2-year investigation of
the properties and suitability of certain building materials
with particular reference to their use in low-cost housing;
the other item, $89,200, represents salary increases based
upon reallocations in grade made by the Civil Service
Commission.
Under the appropriations for the Bureau of Light­
houses for the fiscal year 1937 there was a nonrecurring
item of $399,000 due to storm and ice damage repairs
and the establishment of a buoy at the mouth of the Cape
Fear River. Since the 1938 estimates show a net decrease
of $76,440, the gross increase is therefore $322,560, the
details of which are as follows: $172,000 for general
expenses of the service incident to the higher cost of
supplies, materials, and subsistence of vessel personnel, the
operation of additional aids to navigation, and for urgent
repairs, $10,000 for salaries of seven additional keepers at
isolated lighthouse stations, $76,660 additional for sala­
ries of vessel employees, and $34,000 additional for retired
pay.
An increase of $181,300 in the estimates for the Coast
and Geodetic Survey includes a new item of $100,000 for
airway mapping heretofore paid for from Bureau of Air
Commerce appropriations, $33,000 for temporary vessel
employees necessary to comply with new leave laws and
to increase the number of skeletonized crews of vessels
during lay-up periods in order that minor repairs may
be effected and the vessels properly cared for, $23,500
for ongevity pay and allowances of commissioned officers,
$16,000 for hydrographic work, and $8,800 for miscella­
neous purposes.
Nonrecurring 1937 items of $25,000 for shellfish in­
vestigation and $2,000 for a small laboratory building at
Seattle reduce the gross increase of $119,560 in the esti­
mates for the Bureau of Fisheries to a net increase of
$92,560. The major items of increase are $44,400 for
“ Inquiry respecting food fishes” for Pacific pilchard,
oyster-cultural, and stream-pollution investigations, and
for stream management in national forest regions, $25,140
for “Fishery industries” , $27,000 for the operation of new
cultural stations and increasing the output at the Woods
Hole and Gloucester, Mass., stations, $5,000 to administer
part of section 5 of the Whaling Treaty Act of May 1,
1936, and $18,020 for miscellaneous purposes.
The net decrease of $45,000 in the estimates for the
Patent Office involves a decrease of $50,000 for printing




and an increase of $5,000 for books and periodicals for
the scientific library.

A comparison of the estimates for the Department of
the Interior for 1938 with the appropriations for the
fiscal year 1937, exclusive of items treated elsewhere in
the Budget under the General Public Works Program,
shows a net increase of $1,561,143.39. The principal
items of increase and decrease follow:
For the Office of the Secretary there is a total increase of
$286,920, the principal items of which Ire $53,540 for the
Office of the Secretary, $44,400 for the Division of In­
vestigations, $150,000 for the Division of Grazing, and
$24,000 for printing and binding.
No estimate is included for the Petroleum Administra­
tion because the legal existence of the Administration
terminates before the end of the present fiscal year, for
which $300,000 was appropriated.
In view of the adverse decision of the Supreme Court on
all but two sections of the Bituminous Coal Conservation
Act of 1935, and because the work of the Commission
under those two sections will be completed during the
current fiscal year, no new provision has been made for the
Bituminous Coal Commission or the Consumers’ Counsel,
for which $990,000 was appropriated.
For the General Land Office there is a net decrease of
$59,500 which is occasioned chiefly by decreases of $50,000
for surveying the public lands and $15,000 for maps of the
United States, which is a nonrecurring item, and an in­
crease of $13,000 for payment of proceeds of sales of Coos
Bay (Oregon) Wagon Road grant lands and timber.
A net increase of $2,356,070 for the Bureau of Indian
Affairs results from total increases of $3,098,028 and total
decreases of $741,957. The principal items of increase
are $161,400 for payment to confederated bands of Utes,
$40,000 for increased protection of Indian forests, $63,880
for developing agriculture and stock raising among In­
dians, $225,000 for encouraging industry among Indians,
$540,000 for the revolving fund for loans to Indian cor­
porations, $96,334 for development of water supplies and
irrigation of land on Indian reservations, $693,150 for ed­
ucating Indian children, $548,330 for the conservation of
the health of Indians, and $333,970 for the general support
of Indians and the administration of their property. The
principal decreases are due to nonrecurring items of
$81,540 for payment to Siousx Indians for nonreceipt of
land allotments, $223,162 for compensation to Chippewa
Indians for land, and $42,306 for compensation to nonIndian claimants on Pueblo lands. Other important de­
creases are $74,200 for Indian agency buildings and $40,000
for payment of benefits to Indians on Sioux reservations.
For the Bureau of Reclamation there is an increase of
$63,000, of which $38,000 is for expenditure from the
reclamation fund to cover the increased cost of operating
existing irrigation distribution systems and $25,000 is
from the general fund of the Treasury for the Colorado
River front work and levee system. The other items of
the Bureau of Reclamation will be found under the head­
ing of General Public Works Program.
For the Bureau of Mines a net increase of $133,970 is
accounted for by increases of $3,380 for the Washington
office, $28,135 for operating mine rescue cars and stations
and investigation of accidents, $40,000 for testing fuel, in
conformity with a recent act of Congress, $20,000 for
mineral mining investigations, $50,000 for mining experi­
ment stations and $2,821 for gas production of helium

plants, and decreases of $12,866 for oil and gas investiga­
tions and $2,500 for economics of mineral industries.
A net increase of $1,354,100 is provided for the National
Park Service, the largest item in which is $1,094,100. Of
that amount, $500,000 is estimated as necessary for major
physical improvements and repairs to Governmentowned buildings in the District of Columbia and $594,100
for the cost of maintenance and operation and rent of
Government buildings there located.
There is a net increase of $428,060 estimated for the
Office of Education which is occasioned by increases of
$524,000 and decreases of $95,940. The principal item of
increase is $500,oil) for colleges for agriculture and me­
chanic arts as authorized by law, while the principal
decrease is $91,000 for vocational education of persons
disabled in industry. The reason for this decrease is the
failure of certain States to take up the full amount of their
allotment of funds heretofore authorized.
For the government of each of the Territories decreases
are estimated for 1938 due principally to the fact that the
Alaska and Hawaii Legislatures will not be in session
during that fiscal year, and because of increased munic­
ipal revenues in the Virgin Islands which permit a reduc­
tion to be made in the amount necessary to be appropriated
for the operating expenses of the municipalities.
The 1938 estimates of permanent appropriations show
increases of $100,000 for payment to States of grazing
fees as authorized by law, $118,000 for payments to
States from receipts under the Mineral Leasing Act, and
$100,000 from operating revenues for cost of operation of
the Alaska Railroad.
There is a net decrease of $1,955,500 in trust accounts,
which is occasioned by estimated decreases in expendi­
tures of $500 for the Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Commission, and $2,490,000 for the National Park Service,
both of which are nonrecurring items of contributed funds,
and by estimated increases of $500,000 of contributed
funds for the construction of Parker Dam, and $35,000 for
personal funds and pension money of patients in St.
Elizabeths Hospital.
D E P A R T M E N T O F J U S T IC E

The estimates of appropriations for the Department of
Justice for 1938 amount to $40,913,689, which is an
increase of $1,159,756 over the appropriations for 1937
exclusive of $2,55(1,000 for buildings and equipment,
penal and correctional institutions, a part of the General
Public Works Program for that year. The increase of
$1,159,756 includes $17,220 for office of the Attorney
General, $670,749 for the courts, $419,595 for penal and
correctional institutions, and $52,192 for trust accounts.
The increase of $17,220 in the estimates for office of the
Attorney General is a net increase composed of increases
of $153,420 for salaries, $13,100 for contingent expenses,
$29,000 for printing and binding, $40,000 for the enforce­
ment of antitrust and kindred laws, $15,000 for the exami­
nation of judicial offices, and $26,700 for the Bureau of
Prisons, and decreases of $100,000 for the Federal Bureau
of Investigation due to a nonrecurring item, $50,000 for
veterans’ insurance litigation, and a nonrecurring item of
$110,000 in connection with case of Northern Pacific
Railway Co. et al.
The estimates for 1938 for the courts show a net increase
of $670,749 over the appropriations for 1937. The items
provided for under this title include the salaries and
expenses of the Supreme Court and inferior courts, United
States attorneys, marshals and clerks of courts, fees and
expenses of commissioners, fees of jurors and witnesses,




pay of bailiffs, supplies and miscellaneous expenses of the
courts, and books for judicial officers.
The estimate for salaries of circuit, district, and retired
judges contains an increase of $125,000, to provide for one
additional circuit judge and seven additional district
judges whose appointments w^ere authorized by legisla­
tion enacted at the last session of Congress, and an increase
in the pay roll of retired judges. An increase of $8,000 is
recommended for travel expenses of circuit and district
judges, due to the appointment of new judges and the
establishment of additional places of holding court.
The increase of $195,000 in salaries, fees, and expenses of
marshals, includes $13,940 for the salary of the marshal
for the Virgin Islands and the salaries of deputy marshals
for the new district judges, and $181,060 for travel ex­
penses. An increase of $23,490 is recommended for
salaries and expenses of district attorneys, to cover the
salaries of an attorney, assistant attorney, and clerk for
the Virgin Islands, and five additional assistant attorneys
in other districts. There is an increase of $50,000 in the
estimate for pay of special assistant attorneys, to provide
additional legal assistance to aid the Attorney General
and United States attorneys in special cases. The in­
crease of $115,000 in the estimate for salaries and ex­
penses of clerks of United States courts is composed of
$111,500 for the salaries of a clerk of court and two deputy
clerks for the Virgin Islands, deputy clerks for the new
judges and the additional places of holding court, and addi­
tional deputy clerks in various districts to take care of the
large increase in work, and $3,500 for travel expenses. A
decrease of $20,000 is recommended for fees of commis­
sioners, United States courts. For fees of jurors and wit­
nesses an increase of $120,000 is necessary because of the
expansion in judicial activities, and for the same reason
$15,000 additional is required for pay of bailiffs. Other
miscellaneous court increases amount to $39,259.
A net increase of $419,595 is provided in the estimates
for 1938 for penal and correctional institutions, in which
is included $72,540 for additional custodial officers to
meet the requirements of the new leave law. These
appropriations provide for the maintenance of the Federal
penal and correctional institutions, for subsistence and
care of United States prisoners in non-Federal institu­
tions, and for the operation of the probation system of
the United States courts.
It is estimated that there will be an increase in prison
population at Federal institutions in 1938 of 5.2 percent
over 1937 and to provide the necessary funds for personnel
and maintenance increases are recommended for the
institutions at Leavenworth, Kans., $27,810; Atlanta, Ga.,
$47,770; McNeil Island, Wash., $13,280; Lewisburg, Pa.,
$72,110; Alcatraz Island, Calif., $9,785; Alderson, W . Va.,
$3,480; Chillicothe, Ohio, $71,460; El Reno, Okla.,
$58,930; Springfield, Mo., $4,840; Petersburg, Va.,
$4,135; and Federal prison camps, $94,050, which latter
amount includes $70,000 for the establishment of an
additional camp. A decrease of $31,535 is shown in
the estimate for Federal jails, predicated on a reduction
in prison population and per capita costs in some cases.
The estimate for construction and repairs at McNeil
Island is $107,400 less than appropriated for 1937.
For the National Training School for Boys at Wash­
ington, D. C., there is an increase of $17,540, consisting
of $4,260 for additional personnel, $3,180 for subsistence
and quarters, and $10,100 for maintenance and operation.
There is also recommended for this School $21,540 for
alterations and improvements to the refrigeration plant,
dormitories, hospital and administration building, and

repairs to cottage C and the gymnasium and school
building. Probation system, United States courts, is
increased $50,000 for the purpose of extending this service
to a number of districts which are not adequately provided
with probation officers. For medical and hospital service,
penal institutions, there is an increase of $61,800, of
which $37,820 is for additional personnel, $2,972 for
automatic promotions of regular and reserve commis­
sioned officers, and $21,008 for equipment, supplies, and
materials.
The trust accounts of the Department of Justice con­
sist of personal funds of prisoners and commissary and
welfare funds at the several penal and correctional institu­
tions, which are deposited in the Treasury and advanced
on approved requisitions to disbursing officers for pay­
ment. The estimated obligations for 1938 are $650,000
for funds of prisoners and $350,000 for commissary and
welfare funds, which are increases over 1937 of $50,000
and $2,192, respectively.
DEPARTMENT

OF

LABOR

A gross increase of $2,625,400 in various items of the
estimates is reduced to a net increase for the Department
of Labor of $2,366,900 by decreases in other estimate
items. The major items of gross increase include $1,980,000 additional for grants to States and $126,000 addi­
tional for administrative expenses, under the Social
Security Act, and $350,000 for expenses of administering
the Walsh-Healey Act, approved June 30, 1936 (Public,
No. 846, 74th Cong.).
For the Office of the Secretary a net increase of $439,900
includes increases of $74,900 for the transfer of a program
for the formulation of standards of apprentice training
from the National Youth Administration to the Depart­
ment of Labor and a 1-year study of industrial standards
for the prevention of silicosis, $4,500 for contingent ex­
penses of the Department, $15,000 for printing and bind­
ing, and $350,000 for the administration of the WalshHealey Act, and a $4,500 decrease for liaison with the
International Labor Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.
The estimates for the Bureau of Labor Statistics con­
template an increase of $30,000 to increase the coverage
of statistics of employment and pay rolls, wages, and
hours of labor, and cost of living in specific localities.
An increase of $45,000 for the Immigration and Natural­
ization Service is necessary to take care of automatic pro­
motions, the payment of extra compensation for overtime
services of inspectors for which reimbursement is received
by the United States from public carriers, and for addi­
tional departmental employees to handle the increase in
naturalization work.
The increase of $2,106,000 for the Children’s Bureau is
wholly due to the participation of additional States in the
provisions of the Social Security Act. The increased
amounts for grants to States are $980,000 for maternal
and child-health services, $700,000 for services for crippled
children, and $300,000 for child-welfare services, and an
additional $126,000 is provided for expenses of adminis­
tration.
* While the amount of the estimate for the United States
Employment Service is $245,000 less than the appropria­
tion for 1937, a provision is continued to authorize appor­
tionments to States on the $3,000,000 basis contemplated
by the act establishing the Service. Two new provisions
are proposed in the estimate, the first to consolidate annual
appropriations for payments to States into one continuing
fund, and, the second, to reapportion unused balances of
1936 apportionments to States within 60 days after the




a 97

close of the fiscal year 1937 as required by the Act of
June 6, 1933, without reference to the sufficiency therefor
of the fund.
Transfer of the functions of the United States Housing
Corporation relating to the disposal of housing properties
acquired during the World War to the Procurement
Division of the Treasury Department is proposed. As a
result, a decrease in the expenses of the Department of
Labor to the extent of $9,000 will occur.

The naval estimates for 1938 have been prepared on the
basis of our naval needs as covered by plans evolved under
conditions obtaining under the Washington and London
treaties. They involve no expansion whatever over what
had been planned before it was known that these treaties
were not going to be renewed.
The estimates of appropriations for the Navy Depart­
ment and Naval Establishment for the fiscal year 1938
amount to $563,996,359, which, compared with the
aggregate amount of $529,819,632 appropriated for the
fiscal year 1937, indicates a net increase of $34,176,727.
The totals stated above include estimated expenditures
from trust accounts of $1,570,650 for 1938 and $1,717,100
for 1937. This net difference of some $34,176,727
involves increases for certain purposes and decreases for
others, as compared with the appropriations for 1937.
For purposes of comparison the expenditures are herein­
after classified by groups, followed by brief explanations
regarding the differences between the funds required for
1938, compared with the appropriations for 1937.
For pay and allowances and other expenses incident to
naval and Marine Corps personnel approximately
$16,000,000 additional is required to provide for the
increase in officers and men necessary to man the larger
vessels of the fleet, the increased number of airplanes and
the greater requirements for personnel ashore because of
the increase in the fleet. Included in this item is pro­
vision for an expansion of reserve activities in accordance
with an approved program. Under the operation of
existing law the retired lists of officers and men are being
increased annually. This fact makes necessary additional
funds for this purpose. For the operation, maintenance,
repair, and improvement of the fleet and shore establish­
ment, exclusive of aviation, an increase of approximately
$9,800,000 is necessary because of the larger ships that
will be in commission, the increased cost of labor and
materials, the alterations and improvements required
to keep the units in a high state of efficiency and the
necessity of providing a larger reserve of arms, armament,
ammunition, and other supplies.
In order to replenish the stock under the naval supply
account fund so that it may better and more economically
supply the needs of the Navy, it is proposed that the
capital fund be increased by $6,000,000.
The increase under “Aviation” approximates $10,910,000. Of this sum, $6,410,000 represents the differ­
ence between the amounts due on prior-year contracts
in 1937 and the amount due on prior-year contracts in
1938. The remainder, $4,500,000, is due to the increase
in the program for procurement of planes and also to
the additional amounts required for operation and mainte­
nance of a larger number and larger types of airplanes,
together with the increased cost of upkeep and mainte­
nance of the air stations used for training personnel and
those serving as auxiliary to the fleet.
The estimate for public works is $2,863,000 over the
amount appropriated for 1937. The amount proposed for

THE BUDGET,

appropriations under this head is required to carry
forward work on projects under way and uncompleted
on June 30, 1937, and to provide for the commencement
of certain additional projects during 1938.
The amount recommended for construction of naval
vessels is $11,500,000 less than the appropriation for
this purpose for 1937. Due to strikes and other causes
the ship-building program has been delayed. This delay
will result in a large unexpended balance being carried
forward from the fiscal year 1937 for expenditure in
1938. Although the estimates for ship construction for
1938 are less than the appropriations for 1937, no curtail­
ment of the program of constructing replacement vessels,
as authorized by the Vinson-Trammell Act of 1934, is
contemplated.

The estimates for the Post Office Department are in­
cluded as an Annexed Budget, since the excess of expendi­
tures over the postal revenues is payable from the general
fund of the Treasury and only such excess is carried to
Statement No. 2 of the Budget for 1938 and the General
Budget Summary and supporting schedules.
The estimated expenditures for postal operations for the
fiscal year 1938, including $25,000 for the payment of
claims out of general revenues of the Treasury, aggre­
gate $785,769,478. The postal revenues for 1938 are
estimated at $755,000,000.
These estimates indicate
that the revenues will fail to meet obligations by $30,769,478, which amount will become a charge against the
general fund of the Treasury.

OF

STATE

The estimates of appropriations for the Department of
State for the fiscal year 1938 amount to $15,334,968.40,
which is a net increase of $171,418.40 over the appropria­
tions for 1937 exclusive of $3,800,000 for construction by
the International Boundary Commission, United States
and Mexico, a part of the General Public Works Program
for that year. The net increase of $171,418 40 is com­
posed of an increase of $448,750 for the Foreign Service
and decreases of $57,088 for the Office of the Secretary of
State and $220,243.60 for international obligations, com­
missions, congresses, and bureaus.
The principal items bringing about the net decrease
of estimates for the Office of the Secretary of State are
those that relate to salaries. A decrease of nearly
$100,000 in personnel of the Division of Trade Agree­
ments is recommended in contrast to an increase of nearly
$61,000 for permanent personnel in other divisions.
For salaries of Foreign Service officers an increase of
$83,000 is requested for 1938, $33,000 of which is to cover
automatic promotions authorized by the Foreign Service
Act of February 23, 1931, and $50,000 to provide for the
appointment of 20 additional Foreign Service officers.
There is an increase of $63,300 for the transportation of
Foreign Service officers, of which $53,300 is to effect
certain transfers between posts which have been postponed
because of the lack of funds, and $10,000 is for bringing
home on statutory leaves of absence officers wiio have not
been in the United States for a number of years. There is
a net decrease of $12,750 in the estimate foi office and
living quarters of persons in our Foreign Service.
The increase of $50,000 in the estimate for cost-of-living
allowance for diplomatic, consular, and Foreign Service




1938

officers and clerks will permit a maximum allowance of
92.3 percent during the fiscal year 1938 as compared with
only 76.9 percent which may be allowed with the funds
appropriated for 1937. The increase of $21,900 in the
estimate for salaries of Foreign Service clerks is for 3 addi­
tional clerks for the Diplomatic Service and 17 additional
clerks for the Consular Service. An increase of $34,000
will provide for the salaries of employees required to super­
vise the construction of buildings to be erected at Hel­
singfors, Finland; Managua, Nicaragua; Montevideo,
Uruguay; Panama City, Panama; Trujillo City, Domin­
ican Republic; Port au Prince, Haiti; and Monrovia,
Liberia; and 12 additional employees at diplomatic
missions and consulates.
There is a net increase of $206,600 in the contingent
expenses of the Foreign Service, the principal items of
which are $45,000 for communication service, $28,000 for
freight and cartage on new furniture, and $97,043 for
repairs to buildings owned by the United States in foreign
countries.
The estimate for United States contributions to inter­
national commissions, congresses, and bureaus for 1938
amounts to $846,246, which is a decrease of $34,374 from
the appropriation for 1937. An increase of $20,000 is
requested for the annual operating expenses of the Inter­
national Boundary Commission, United States and Mexi­
co, for the maintenance of the rectified channel of the Rio
Grande in the El Paso-Juarez Valley. The estimate for
the General Claims Convention, United States and Mexi­
co, is $48,500, of which $45,535 is for the American agency
and $2,965 for the General Claims Commission, and repre­
sents a reduction of $75,770 from the appropriation for
1937.

The following estimates are included in the Budget for
1938 for the expenses of participation by the United
States in various international conferences, etc.: Eighth
International Conference of American States, Lima, Peru,
$70,000; Telecommunication Conference, Cairo, Egypt,
$49,000; United States Delaware Valley Tercentenary
Commission, $10,000; and the Commission of Experts on
the Codification of International Law, to be held in some
Latin-American city, $3,000. An appropriation of $20,647.25 is recommended for the relief of certain officers
and employees of the Foreign Service who suffered losses
of personal property as a result of the earthquake at
Managua, Nicaragua, March 31, 1931. There is also
recommended to be appropriated $44,403.15 for interest
payments on American embassy drafts, representing
interest at 4% percent on certain drafts drawn on the
Secretary of State by the American embassies in Russia
and Turkey, and transfers which the embassy in Turkey
undertook to make by cable communications to the Sec­
retary of State during the period from 1915 to 1920,
payment of which was deferred.
Appropriations for 1937 amounting to $327,150 which
will not recur in 1938 are for the meeting of the Inter­

TREASURY

DEPARTMENT

A comparison of the estimates for the Treasury Depart­
ment for the fiscal year 1938 with the appropriations for
1937 shows a total net increase of $278,132,177. The
principal items of increase occur in the office of the Sec­
retary, $211,065,570; the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
$33,468,270; the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
$1,171,570; and the Procurement Division, $929,220.
The principal decreases are for the Customs Service,
$1,250,000, and for the Bureau of the Mint, $1,967,100.
The details of some of these and other items in the 1938
Budget estimates are given below.
The cause of the increased appropriation necessary for
the office of the Secretary is the necessity for an increase
of $235,000,000 in the old-age reserve account set up
under the Social Security Act. There is an important de­
crease of $24,000,000 in the amount of payments to be
made to Federal land banks on account of the reduction
in the rate of interest on mortgages.
There is an increase of $250,000 for collecting the
revenue from customs but a decrease of $1,500,000 in the
amount estimated to be required for refunds and draw­
backs. The items making up the total increase for the
Bureau of Internal Revenue are as follows: For collecting
Social Security Act taxes, $3,571,490; for additional
personnel for the Office of the Assistant General Counsel,
$163,980; and for additional personnel and incidental
expenses of the Income Tax Unit, $905,000. It is likewise
estimated that $29,000,000 must additionally be appro­
priated for the refunding of internal-revenue collections
and $7,800 on account of payments to be made to the
Territory oi Alaska under the provisions of acts of June
26, 1934 (48 Stat. 1227, sec. 4), and of May 14, 1935
(49 Stat. 225).
For the Bureau of Engraving and Printing there is an
increase of $1,171,570 to meet the increased work program
of the Bureau and to cover the cost of recent legislation
extending the 40-hour-week law to include all employees
and for increased annual and sick leave of such employees.
The decrease of $1,967,100 for the Bureau of the Mint
is almost entirely due to a nonrecurring item for the
transportation of gold bullion.
For the Public Buildings Branch of the Procurement
Division there is a net increase of $1,259,220. The prin­
cipal items are $1,125,000 for repairs, $100,000 for oper­
ating force, and $35,000 for supplies for public buildings.
Items which involve the construction of public buildings
in 1938 are included elsewhere in the Budget in the esti­
mates for the General Public Works Program. For the
Branch of Supply in the Procurement Division there is a
decrease of $330,000. Of this amount, $250,000 repre­
sents a nonrecurring item for the general supply fund while
$80,000 is due to a reduction of salaries and expenses
chargeable to the Branch of Supply appropriation.
Other important items in the Treasury estimate include
a net increase of $602,065 for the Public Health Service,
$301,720 for the office of Commissioner of Accounts and
Deposits, and $250,000 for the Division of Printing to be
used for printing, binding, and stationery.
So far as permanent appropriations are concerned, there
is an increase of $1,100,000 for the Philippine Trust Fund,
Bureau of Internal Revenue, and a decrease of $997,000 in
the expenses of loans for the Public Debt Service.

The 1938 estimate for public-debt operations shows for
debt-retirement payments an increase of $8,251,350 and
for interest payments an increase of $25,000,000.
WAR

DEPARTMENT

The total net increase of budget estimates for the War
Department for 1938 over the appropriations for 1937
is $25,654,560, made up as follows: An increase of $92,575
for departmental activities; an increase of $28,149,027
for military activities; a decrease of $2,032,858 for non­
military activities; and a decrease of $554,184 for the
Panama Canal. It is proper to note, however, that there
is included elsewhere in the Budget, under the heading
“ General Public Works Program” , an estimate of
$143,322,101 for continuing work of improvement on
rivers and harbors and other waterways and for flood
control. For 1937 the appropriation for these purposes
amounted to $135,750,000.
The above-mentioned estimated increase of $92,575
for departmental activities consists of $68,235 in depart­
mental salaries for the hire of additional personnel made
necessary by an increase in work due to increase in the
strength of the Army; $20,000 for contingent expenses,
principally for the replacement of unserviceable office
equipment; and $4,340 for purchase of books and periodi­
cals for the library of the Surgeon General’s office.
In connection with the estimated increase of $28,149,027
in appropriations for military activities, items affecting
the Finance Department, the Quartermaster Corps,
Signal Corps, Air Corps, Ordnance Department, Seacoast Defenses, National Guard Bureau, Organized
Reserves, and the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps are
especially worthy of note.
The Finance Department is responsible for the pay and
allowances of active and retired commissioned officers, war­
rant officers, nurses, contract surgeons, and enlisted men
of the Regular Army and the Philippine Scouts; expenses
of courts martial; apprehension of deserters; hire of civilian
employees of the Finance Department in the field; hire of
civil-service messengers at Army field headquarters;
interest on deposits of savings by enlisted men; claims for
damages or loss of private property; and travel of military
and civilian personnel. The estimates for the Finance De­
partment for 1938 show a net increase of $7,402,343 over
the appropriations for 1937. The net increase in the esti­
mates for pay and allowances of the Army is $8,025,540,
and is due principally to automatic increases provided for
by law, the increased cost of 18,000 additional enlisted men
on a full year’s basis, the necessity of providing additional
grades and ratings for enlisted men because of the increase
in the enlisted strength and the progress made in the
mechanization and motorization of the Army, and to
increases in the retired lists of the Army. For pay to
civilian employees of the Finance Department in the field,
an increase of $24,480 is allowed; for travel of military and
civilian personnel there is a net decrease of $657,677 which
is made by reason of changes in travel requirements for
the fiscal year 1938; and for claims an increase of $10,000
is allowed. The Budget estimates for 1938 provide for
average active strengths of 12,175 commissioned officers,
771 warrant officers, 675 nurses, and 165,000 enlisted men
of the Regular Army and 6,415 enlisted men of the
Philippine Scouts. In addition, provision is made for
185 officers of the Corps of Engineers to be employed on
river and harbor and fiood-control works and paid from
the appropriation for such works.

AlOO

THE BUDGET,

For the Quartermaster Corps a net increase of $15,276,218 is shown. Increases are provided as follows:
For subsistence of the Army, $2,934,516, due to the rising
cost of the ration and the larger enlisted strength of the
Army; for Regular Army supplies, $257,650; for clothing
and equipage, $5,506,221, due to increase in the enlisted
strength of the Army and to the depletion of World War
stocks; for the construction of buildings, utilities, and
appurtenances at military posts, $5,415,000; for the
acquisition of land, $1,582,000; and for the maintenance,
operation, and repair of barracks, quarters, and utilities,
incidental expenses, and the construction and repair of
hospitals, $443,853, due almost entirely to the need for
additional funds for extraordinary repairs to buildings,
roads, wharves, and water systems. The large item
mentioned for the construction of buildings, etc., includes
projects at Sacramento, Calif.; Langley Air Field, Va.;
Albrook Air Field, Panama Canal Zone; Bolling Air Field,
D. C.; Hickam Air Field, Hawaii; Northeast Air Base
near Tacoma, Wash.; and the arsenal at Edgewood, Md.
Decreases of $695,819 are provided for nonrecurring
items incident to transportation of the Army and $150,337
because of the smaller number of horses and pack and
draft animals to be purchased.
For the Signal Corps the only increase requested is
$401,114, principally for the employment of additional
field employees in the Signal Service to meet an acute
shortage in personnel, the installation of facilities at
various air fields to provide weather data for the Air
Corps, for radio service to be rendered regular Govern­
ment activities other than Army, for radio equipment for
combat organizations of the Army and radio equipment
for airplanes. Estimates for the Army Air Corps for
1938 call for an increase of $894,500 for 1938 over 1937.
In addition, there is also provided for, in the Budget
estimates for the Signal Corps and Ordnance Department,
a total of approximately $3,588,000 for equipping air­
planes of the Regular Army with modern radio apparatus
and armament. The 1938 estimates for the Air Corps of
the Regular Army provide for the procurement of 449
new airplanes and in the estimates for the Organized
Reserves and for the National Guard provision has been
made for the purchase of a total of 81 new airplanes,
which form part of the general Air Corps program of the
War Department. A net increase for the Ordnance
Department for 1938 is provided in the sum of $5,819,726
for the purchase of ammunition and bombs required for
target practice and for replacing deteriorated ammunition
in the war reserves.
Various phases of the work of seacoast defense are
handled by the Corps of Engineers, the Signal Corps, the
Coast Artillery Corps, and the Ordnance Department.
For 1937 a total of $8,518,994 was appropriated. The
estimate for 1938 shows a decrease of $4,315,674. The
remaining sum, $4,203,320, is for the construction, main­
tenance, and repair of fixed fortifications; the procure­
ment, installation, and maintenance of fire-control
systems, searchlights, and submarine-mine defenses; the
installation of fixed antiaircraft defenses; and the pro­
curement and maintenance of ordnance and ordnance
materials.
For the National Guard Bureau the estimates for 1938
show a net increase of $1,634,021. The principal items
making up this total consist of $273,219 due to increased
attendance at summer training camps; $930,697 for am­
munition and uniforms, due to a decrease in free issues by
the Regular Army because of depletion of its World War
surplus stocks; $278,166 for the purchase of airplanes and




1938

for airplane equipment, supplies and repairs; $180,243 for
Signal Corps equipment; $77,000 for replacement of un­
serviceable animals; and $500,000 for initiating an in­
crease of 5,000 men in the strength of the Guard. For
1938 provision is made for a National Guard strength of
205,000 officers and men.
For the Organized Reserves a net increase for 1938 is
estimated in the sum of $868,805, the principal item in
which is $725,689 for the detail of 250 additional Air
Reserve officers for extended active duty with the Regular
Army Air Corps. The Budget estimate makes provision
for 14 days’ active duty training of 25,000 Reserve officers;
for detail of 1 year each on the General Staff of 5 such
officers; for the detail on extended active duty with the
Air Corps of the Regular Army of 550 Reserve pilots; for
attendance of from 6 to 12 weeks of 200 Reserve officers
at Regular Army service schools; and for active duty for
12 months with the Regular Army of 500 Reserve officers
of the grade of second lieutenant. The estimate also
provides for the maintenance and operation of 245 Organ­
ized Reserve headquarters in 188 cities; for inactive duty
flying of Air Reserve officers; and for extension courses
for Reserve officers and the furnishing of such officers with
training manuals.
For the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps the 1938
estimate calls for a decrease of $330,276 from the amount
appropriated for 1937 due principally to the fact that no
new training units are to be established in 1938. During
1938 approximately 172,000 students at schools and
colleges will be given military training. In the case of
the Citizens’ Military Training Camp no change is recom­
mended in the 1938 estimates from the 1937 appropriation
which was $2,275,000 and provided for 30,000 trainees.
As stated above, the estimate of net appropriations for
1938 for nonmilitary purposes is $2,032,858 less than the
1937 appropriation. The principal increases in nonmili­
tary activities consist of $100,000, in repayments to dis­
charged soldiers of savings deposited with the Army
during their enlistments and $106,500^ covering increased
disbursements of trust funds. Offsetting these and other
minor increases are two decreases, one of $*9,000 due to a
decrease in rent requirements of the United States High
Commissioner to the Philippine Islands, and the other an
item of $2,339,609 applicable to the Corps of Engineers
which during 1938 will engage in the maintenance of
river and harbor works; in cooperative work of flood con­
trol on the Sacramento River, Calif., and Lowell Creek
and Salmon River, Alaska; emergency flood-control work
on tributaries of the Mississippi River; and the preserva­
tion and repair of historical fortifications at San Juan,
P. R.
As stated in the first paragraph under this head the
estimate of appropriations for 1938 for the Panama Canal
show a net decrease of $554,184, the details of which are
as follows: For maintenance and operation of the Canal
the Budget estimate for 1938 is $8,519,000, a net reduc­
tion below 1937 of $630,201, due to differences between
the 2 years in the kinds and costs of betterments and
replacements. The amount provided for 1938 consists of
$6,360,696 for the maintenance and operation of the Canal
proper and $2,158,304 for betterments and replacements,
such as continuing the construction of a new station for
the dredging fleet to replace unserviceable facilities pro­

or certification in advance of payment: Provided, That proper
adjustments on the basis of the actual cost of delivered work paid
for in advance shall be made monthly or quarterly and as may be

porated in a single item for printing and binding for such depart­
ment or establishment and be eliminated as a part of any estimate
for any other purpose. And if any amounts for printing and
binding are included as a part of any estimates for any other pur­
poses, such amounts shall be set forth in detail in a note imme­
diately following the general estimate for printing and binding:
Provided, That the foregoing requirements shall not apply to work
to be executed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
