It brought the 75th Congress' spending total to $21,656,174,000 for all three sessions. It shot the net deficit for fiscal 1938 (forecast by the President last January as $1,088.129,600) up to $1,250,000,000. For fiscal 1939 it forecasted a deficit of at least $3,722,000,000.

Last fiscal year (June 26) unpretentious Columbia cleared a profit of $1,317,771.
