WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The. gov
eminent will be hard put to find
enough revenue in the next few days
to keep it's activities running and
meet maturing obligations, Secretary
Houston told the finance committee
today Especially is this true he said
if new tax burdens are assumed with
reference to the proposal to pay for
mer soldiers a bonus of one or two
billion dollars.
Huston strongly opposes any plan to
have the government give Germany a
credit of a billion dollars as some
farm organizations are demanding.
"That would be just transferring to
the government bad debts on poor Sc
curity, which private capital has re-
fused to assume" he said.
