The Tribune said two weeks ago
that the Treasury might have on June
30 a $SO,0OO,OOO surplus Of ordinary
receipts over ordinary expenditures.
The figures just given out in Wash
ngton show surplus OF S33, 3,7S4.425,
against a surplus OF S4O,OS3, ,229 a
year ago. II is unfair TO charge the
payment OF $34,S26,941 for Panama
Canal construction against the
governments ordinary expenditures.
That payment is a Treasury credit,
Congress having provided for the
issuance Of bonds to meet the cost
of the canal. and the S34.S26.9 94l ad-
vanced out of current receipts will
be paid back when more canal bonds
are issued. The Underwood law has
therefore brought in nearly S34 1000,
b 600 more than the Treasury needed
to pay its way, and that ought to
demonstrate its temporary success
as a revenue producer.
