TREASURY SURPLUS
IS $25O,9O5,238.3
Revision of Estimates for
New Year Is Ordered
Begun.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With final figures in hand showing
S250,000.000 surplus for the fiscal
year ended Tuesday. Treasury atten-
ton was turned today to n revision
now beginning. Orders to review all
of the figures in detail were issued by
Undersecretary Winston.
The revamping of calculations was
made necessary by the fact that prac-
tically all items of receipt for the past
year exceeded expectations. Much of
the excess thus resulting came in re-
oeipts from taxes paid in March and
June and furnishes what is regarded
as definite indication of the trend to
be developed in the fiscal year now
started.
Income Tax Surplus Huge.
Income tax receipts. amounting to
81, $50 900 600. We're 500 900 900 great
er than had been estimated The be
lief prevails at the Treasury that re-
ceipts from this source in the coming
fiscal year are likely, therefore. to go
above s1,710 900 900, which was the
figure calculated when the last budget
was sent to Congress
Customs revenue and miscellaneous
tax receipts also were unusually
heavy, and officials are convinced the
surplus when the current year ends
next June will be materially higher
than the previous estimate of $780,
000,000 1t is on this surplus that tax
reduction must be based.
Surplus $3.50, sos, 1888.
The surplus for the Government s
fiscal year ending June 80. 1925, was
announced last night by Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon as $3.50. 1888

question within a few days. 1t will
probably he limited to scarcely more
than naming the mission to go TO
Washington.
French debt negotiations with the
United States will be kept strictly
apart from those with Great Britain.
There is much caution here because
Of the apparent conviction both in the
American State Department and in
the French foreign office that any
public mention of the terms of pay
ment by either side would complicate
negotiations and might even defeat
their purpose.
The debt question has been thrust
still further to the fore by the receipt
from London of a new memorandum
suggesting that France make an offer
for settlement of her debt to England,
even if only provisional one.
Deny Desire to Interfere.
The memorandum, signed by For
Fign Secretary Chamberlain, takes
eognizance of Frances plans in con-
nection with her American debt by
stating that Great Britain has no de-
sire to interfere with negotiations
which France might initiate with
other creditor powers.
Mr.. Chamberlain Seizes the occasion,
however, to state the principle that
England feels that she is entitled to
treatment on an equal footing-that
is should France sign an agreement
for payment of part of her debt to
the United States the British would
expect a proportionate reimbursement
Of the same.
The British memorandum is being
studied by Foreign Minister BRAND
and Finance Minister CaillauX. who
not long ago were given authority by
the cabinet to initiate negotiations for
settlement Of the interallied debts.
Pending the dispatch OF additional
instructions to NJ Daeschner the
French amba assador at Washington,
the government has asked him to in
form the American authorities that
France is disposed to send commits
sion TO the United States to discuss
the question. If a mission is sent. NJ.
CaillauX feels he ought to head 1t.
The Echo de Paris thinks the Brit
ish memorandum means that, while
any agreement reached by France
with America will entail a similar
agreement with England, the British
government recognizes the entire free
dom of the United States to grant
easier conditions to France, Italy and
her other debtors than were given to
England.
