Mellon to Keep
US. Expenditures
Within Limit Set
Program of Harding and Ways
And Means Committee Prov
ing Satisfactory, Secre-
tary ofTreasury Says.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Federal
expenditures for the current fiscal
year will be kept within the agreed
limit Of S4,o34,O0O,O00, Secretary
Mellon declared, in a statemen;
denying reports that additional de-
ficiency appropriations OF $S70,000,-
600 would be asked. The program
limiting expenditures to the above
figure, which had the sanction of the
president and the house ways and
means committee, is being carried
out satisfactorily. according to the
statement.
The original program made allow
ance for estimated deficiency appro-
priations which 1T was realized
would be necessary, in connection
with certain government activities"
Mr.. Mellon explained. These in-
cluded particularly the settlements
with the railroads growing out OF
federal control and vocational train
ing for the former service men, but
Mr.. Mellon added that his informa-
ton indicated the revenue require
ments OF the government still would
be amply provided in the $4,034,-
100000.
Congress has been advised, the
secretary said, that it could proceed
with the framing of revenue laws on
that basis and there now appeared
no reason to alter the plan. The
tax program, therefore, was not at
fected. he added.
Some deficiency appropriations
will be submitted during the current
fiscal year. according to the secre-
tary, who reiterated that they had
been taken into consideration in the
estimating of actual expenditures.
Mr.. Mellon said that so far as treas
TRY officials could now foresee, fl
nancial plans for the coming year
would stand unchanged.
