DEFICIT APPARENT. NOT REAL
Secretary CortelyOu Declares Anti
quated Methods of bookkeeping
Are Responsible for 1t.

WASHINGTON, July 3-Secretary Cortel-
you today gave out a statement in regard
to the situation in which he saws that
the deficit of So OOO,OOO shown by the treas
ury statements is more apparent than real
because of the Anticipated bookkeeping
system, which is being overhauled and con-
tended that considering the ordinary re-
ceipts of the government" there is really
a surplus. The secretary says that the
items included under ordinary expenditures
are such as might properly be covered by
the issue of bonds instead of paid out Of
current revenues, the latter method con-
stituting an exhibition of financial
strength, which shows only an imaginary
deficit. The statement cites methods OF
special accounting of foreign governments
along these lines
