UNCLE SAM NEEDS
NEAT LITTLE sum
Large Financial Problem Looms for
Government: Must Raise Billion
and Hall by Close Of
Calendar Year.
BY JAMES T. KoLBERT,

Omitted Press staff Correspondent }
Washington. Sept. 2S-Uncle Sam
must solve n difficult financial prob
lem in the near future.
by the end OF this fiscal year he
must raise more than ss.225, ,0OO. 900 to
meet deficit in running expenses
and maturing obligations, according
to estimates prepared today by the
budget bureau. This sum must be
raised in addition TO ordinary gov.
ernmental receipts.
More than s1,5oo.OOO,OOo of the
total must be secured by the end Of
the calendar year.
The biggest single item is 100000
900 and represents the Victory notes
called for redemption on December l..
Next in size Is the sum of $515,000,-
900 to meet war savings certificates
maturing on January /. To this
must be added $l25.000OOO in in
terest on these certinSates.
Other interest obligations total
$125 100000. Rounding out these
figures is the prospective net deficit
Of $425, 100000 in running expenses.
Budget bureau experts believe that
part of the total will be met out OF
current receipts as they expect the
new tariff measure to increase the
federal revenues to measurable ex-
tent. An increase of S3,500,000 in Gus
toms receipts was noted last Saturday
the first day the new tariff was in
effect-but this was partly due to
the failure of eleventh hour efforts
to import goods under the old and
lower rates. The prospective net de-
ficit for this fiscal year totals $685.
100000, according to budget bureau
estimates. There Is an offset against
this sum, however, of $272,000,000,
which represents the general balance
in the treasury at the close Of the
last fiscal year.
Total receipts for this fiscal year
we're estimated at $3,O73,S25,311 while
expenditures were placed at $3,771,-
25S,542.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
is planning series of funding oper-
ations to meet the obligations.

UNITED States Staff Correspondent
Washington. Sept. 2s.-With twelve
American destroyers under orders TO
rush 10 Turkish waters and aid In the
protection OF American interests II
was apparent that the United States
will play an important role In the
efforts to settle the troublesome Near
East problem.
The prediction was made In an
official quarter that this government,
as the result of Secretary of State
Hughes announcement that the Unit
ed States stands back of the allies
policy regarding the Dardanelles and
the action in sending more desiroyers
to the war area. would participate in
the conference at Venice on Near
East questions.
The decision to send the additional
destroyers to Constantinople official
Is announced late yesterday, was
reached by the navy department after
consultation with the state depart
ment. A request for additional ships
and supplies was made by Rear Ad-
miral Mark Bristol, in command in
Turkish waters.
The destroyers are being made
ready for the long voyage at Nor
folk. The vessels are expected to
leave within the next few days but
are not due to reach Turkish waters
for two or three weeks.
Announcement by the navy depart
ment that the destroyer force being
dispatched to Admiral Bristol, would
not engage in any military and naval
defense of the Dardanelles is be-
lieved to indicate that it is intended
merely to insure respect for Ameri-
can interests there. This, observers
point out, does not necessarily con-
flict with the belief that the Amer
ican government would fight by dip
lomatic means to obtain what it con-
sidered essential to American in
terests in the Near East.
