WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The United
States Treasury should show a surplus
July 1. 1920. of s1s5.0s2.S40, as the
result Of the Government financial
transactions during the present fiscal
year, Representative Slemp (va), Re
publican, member of the House APP
preparation Committee, declared in a
statement to-day. This Is exclusive of
Treasury certificates of Indebtedness,
amounting to s2.eS3. 100000. which the
Treasury carried at the beginning of
the present fiscal year.
Mr. Slemp's statement was a sur
prise to financial experts in Congress
because of the recent predictions OF
Representative Good (Ia.). chairman of
the House Appropriations Comrpittee,
that the public debt will be increased
$4,000. 100000, due to the large Gov
eminent expenditures this year.
Continuance OF the present high taxes
through the fiscal year of 1921 prob
ably will be necessary, Mr.. Slemp said.
II this is done, he believes the Treas
ury certificates OF indebtedness can be
retired by that time. Congress. he said,
deserves the credit for preventing a
large deficit in the Treasury this year.
estimates for appropriations by more
than $1.250,oo0.ooo.
Revenues Exceed Expenses.
Mr. Slemp gave the total Government
revenues for the fiscal year as $685.
600, 900 and the expenditures as $685.
$4,000. He said:
I'VE began the fiscal year 1890
owing a large amount of bonds of vari-
Gus lengths Of maturity. We had also
outstanding treasury certificates of In
debtedness. Our national Indebtedness
so far as bonds are concerned. will re-
main unchanged. neither increased nor
decreased. Assuming that we should
have a working cash balance in the
treasury of $500, 900, 900. we began the
fiscal year 1890 owing. in addition
to these bonds. certificates of indebted
| ness in the treasury OF $2,0S3, 900, 600
Can we meet all OF the demands of the
Treasury for the fiscal year 1890
without increasing the amount of out
standing certificates of Indebtedness oil
| without increasing taxes or selling add
tional bonds? I say in all probability
| we can and should. There are somt
contingencies that one can not foresee
strikes may curtail coal production a.
they have already curtailed steel pro

Mr.. Slemp gave the following sum

that any law which deprives them of the
rights Of American citizenship would not
be observed, not because this class OF
American citizens are lawbreakers. but
because such a law would be unwar-

American institutions.
Mr. Shea said such a law was almost
certain to precipitate revolution and was
in fact just what extreme radicals and
revolutionary agitators desire.

IF an anti-strike law is enacted. the
responsibility for any upheaval which
might follow, lies with Congress"
Mr.. Sheas statement, more than 1850
words in length, was prompted by the
publication of his recent testimony be-
fore the Railroad Wage Board, In which
he said the railroad employees were pre-
pared to fight for living wage and time
and half overtime, as conditions pre-
cedent to the return of the roads to priv

gressional term" so that the public
might understand the position of the

IL the cost of living is not reduced, Their
they expect sufficient advance in wages
to enable them to maintain their stand

running in debt from So to $50 a month
because their wage increases have not
kept pace with mounting prices.

One OF the questions which 1t was

take up was the fate of the German

1t is declared. are agreed on at least
one feature OF the solution of the
problem which is that under no con-

Germany. The reasons advanced for
such decision are various, but prom
inent among them Is that 1t would
render 1t impossible for Germany to
establish submarine bases in her
colonial possessions. The American
attitude Is as yet unrevealed.
A prominent official declared today
that should the Franco British view
point prevail, the German Kamerun
will be taken over by the French, in
accordance with an agreement reached
by Great Britain and France. Belgium
lays claim to that part Of the Congo
