BRITISH PILE UP
: HUGE SURPLUS
Income for Year Exceeds Ex.
penses by E1O1, 900, 900.
Lower Taxes Asked.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 2.-The extreme
difficulty experienced by chancellors
of the exChcquer after the war in
estimating correctly the nations ac-
counts q year ahead is shown by the
forecasts for the financial year ended
March 81. Instead of a surplus of be-
tween six and seven million pounds
sterling. as estimated by the former
chancellor, Sir Robert S. Horne. the
surplus actually exceeds f101 900, 600.
which by law goes automatically TO
the reduction OF the national debt,
unless parliament should pass a spe-
cial act disposing of it otherwise.
This big surplus is mainly due to
Unexpectedly large reductions In ex-
penditures, the chief saving being un-
der the heads of civil services, which
cost approximately 1881, 100000 as
compared with estimates OF f45O,-
100000, and defense services of ILL.,
100000 as compared with an estimat-
cd fl90,O0O.0 900.
On the revenue side, although the
income tax was reduced, Ii produced
E5O,0O0,000 more than was estimated.
while the excess profits duty and
sale of war stores together produced
E64O00,O00 less than estimated.
The question now uppermost in the
nations mind is whether the budget
statement Chancellor Baldwin Will
submit week hence will afford any
further relief from taxation. The
chancellor is being bombarded with
demands for such reductions and
there is general expectation of a re-
duction OF six pence or shilling on
the income tax, with relief In the
beer and sugar duties.
There is a strong body of financial
and commercial opinion in the coun-
try that the government has pursued
too conservative and too prudent a
policy in the direction of defation
and reduction of the debt. This optn-
ton conceives II preferable to reduce
taxation and stimulate trade, rather
than to attempt further defation
with the inevitable problems of huge
unemployment

Bi-Partfsnn. Choices.

There are one or two interesting
political angles in the selection of
Messrs. Dawes and Young. In the
first place, it represents a bi-parti-
san choice. Dawes is a republican;
Young. a democrat. Also neither of
them is a New Englander-a factor
that is kept pretty steadily in mind
nowadays when appointments requlr-
ing White House sanction are made.
A no less important consideration in
the DawesYoung selection is that
neither of them is a wall street
man" or an international banker
That circumstance robS certain pro-
fessional calanity-howlers of an OPP
portunity to say that Uncle Sam has
kall-marked minions of international
finance to "entangle" US In the rep
arations morass. 1t is mere coin
cidence that couple Of j.. T. Morgan
& Co. partners are said to be direc-
tors of the General Electric Com
pany, of which owen D. Young is
head.
Perhaps some stickler. for those
things will be upset by the fact that
Young is a graduate of Boston Uni
versity, married a Bostonian and be-
gan life as practicing attorney in
the Massachusetts metropolis. He is
Il native of New York state.
Yet another slant not wholly devoid
pf political interest is Dawes resi-
dence in Chicago, community in
which there are hundreds of thou
sands of Germans and Americans of
German extraction. "Hell-and-Maria,"
of course, has nothing remotely savor-
Ing of pro-German record, but the
presence of a western banker on the
board of American reparations ex-
perts will comfort teutonic hearts in
the regions where Dawes is at home.

DAWES CHOICE LAID
-T0BUDGET RECORD
Successful. U. S. Experiment
SeshAJustifying Selection
for German Task.
BN FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Three "Bs"-budget and big busi-
ness-hgure in the choice of Gen.
charles G.. Dawes and Owen d. Young
as Americas unofficial experts TO
H-ray Germany's tangled finances.
Though Messrs. Dawes and Young
were selected nominally by the inter-
allied reparations commission. their
invitation to serve on the two Ger
man investigatory committees was
semi-inspired from Washington 1t
is not customary in diplomacy to
nominate men for such missions
without advance assurance of their
approval by their own government
In this case, the United States.
Gen. Dawes was named primarily
because of his having been the first
director of the federal budget III this
country. His success in that arduous
position is we'll advertised in Europe.
Our maiden venture in budgetary
= control of government expenditure
was closely watched by old world
statesmen. AS the stabilization of the
German budget is one OF the fore
most tasks now to be essayed by the
reparations commission Gen. Dawes
will bring truly expert ability to bear
upon 1t. AS former controller OF
the currency in America, he will talk
the language of an expert when
Germanys muddled marks, and ways
and means for giving them some
thing. more than wastepaper value,
are under discussion. '-
Knows War Operations.
Finally, Dawes, during the war, had
more firSt-hand experience of Euro
pean. affairs than any American
banker, having been intimately asso-
ciated with the major financial opera
tions of the allied and associated
powers. First, he was chairman OF
the general purchasing board and
general purchasing agent of the
American expeditionary forces. Later
ne was a member of the allied pur-
chasing board and member of the
allied liquidation commission. Dur
ing 1917, 1918 and 1919, no American
had closer connection than Gen
Dawes with the governmental and
economic leaders Of Europe.
owen D. Young will be a typical
representative of American big
business" in the reparations coun-
Gil room. He is chairman of the
board, and president of the. General
Electric Company, chairman of the
board of the Radio Corporation OF
America, and the head of the Inter
national General Electric Company
The latter corporation, subsidiary
, of the parent General Electric al
Schenectady, has ramifications al
over Europe.

Has German Connections.

a year or two ago the Radio Cor
poration, under Young's direction, ne
gotiated a much discussed contract
with the German government for an
exchange of radio traffic, on an ex-
elusive basis, between Germany and
the United States. The General
Electric for many years was inter
locked with the famous Allegemeine Q
Electricians Gesellschaft of Berlin,
founded by the Rathenau family.t of
which DR.. walther Rathenau, assas-
sinated German foreign minister, was
the head at the time he was stricken
down.
Mr.. Young has often visited Ger
many in connection with General
Electric and Radio affairs in that and
other European countries The
Radio Corporation operates comunt-
cation circuits with Great Britain,
Norway, France, Poland, Italy and
Japan, in addition te Germany. 1t
was this monopoly" of wireless
transmission which the Federal Trade
Commission recently assailed. He is
an intimate friend of Herbert Hoover
and has collaborated with the Sec
cretary of Commerce in connection
with the latters scheme of super
power development in the northeast
