Congress a $180 060000 Treasury deficit for this' year is in prospect In his second annual budget message he requested $3932842 000 to finance the government the next fiscal year He also warned that appropriations looking be yondaction in the next six months to ahieliorate unemployment 'and I difficulties 'caused by the drouth might result in another deficit in! 1932 The detailed estimates for 1932 1 included increases liver current ap i propriations of $109620000 for veterans $51500000 for aidroads $10330000 for public buildings $2480660 for prohibi tion enforcement and $35000000 for the

one percent on 1929 incomes he said the outlook heavy decrease in probable income and the necessity to crease public works and aid to em ployment does not warrant contin uation of the The President likewise opposed attempts to meet the impending deficit bv reduction of the statu tory redemption of the public debt now amounting to $44000000 per annum He continued: do I look with concern up on this moderate deficit for the current fiscal year which in Tact amounts to less than 5 percent of the total government expenditure The adverse balance can be metby reducing the general fund bal ance from the amount in it at the beginning of the year supplement ed if necessary by temporary bor rowing by thq Treasury 4 Merely Temporary Expedient we recollect that our bud get has yielded large surpluses for the last 11 years which have en abled us to retire the public debt in addition to retirements required by law to extent of nearly $3500 060000 we can confidently look toward to the restoration of such surpluses with the genet al recqv eryf the' YttHatfttrtBif thus the absorption of any tempo rary borrowing may be nec essary 9 will probably be necessary tor Congress to appropriate 'addi tional money for expenditure with in the present fiscal year in order to increase the amount of the def icit as above estimated I believe such increase can be accomodated by the
