DEFICIT CERTAIN
UNDER BUDGET
SAYS BYRVS
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Congress alone can save the
nations Treasury from a deficit
next year If the Administration has
given Congress a true statement
of the present condition of Uncle
Sans pocketbook, Representative
Joseph w. Byrns CD of Tennessee,
ranking minority member of the
House Appropriations Committee,
declared today.
The budget message of President
Coolidge. based upon Treasury
figures, estimated the probable sur
plus for the fiscal year 1929 at
$36 $50, 1872 and for 1880 at $50. .576,-
1S2.
Budget Estimates Exceeded
"The surplus estimates were cal
culated upon budget estimates, !"
said Byrns. Since the budget was
submitted, President Coolidge has
requested $75,000,OO0 to meet 4
deficit in income tax refunds and
the House has approved 12,0O0,-
600 loan to Greece.
4 ION the face OF the administra-
tion's figures a deficit is certain il
Congress adheres to the budget.
Apparently. therefore, the only way
that it can be avoided is for Con-
gress to cut the budget estimates
to the bone"
Representative John N. Garner
Cd. of Texas. one Of the Demo
cratic fiscal experts OF the House.
declared the matter of deficit is
entirely in the hands OF the Admin
istration.
Asserting that the Treasury has
not given Congress a. true picture
of the nations finances in the past,
he indicated that he believed the
Administration may be throwing
out a deficit scare" to hold down
appropriations.
Congress has not been given a
clear view of the situation as 1t
should have In making appropria.
tions," he said. The Adnainistra-
stfon has it within its power to
either create or avoid deficit.
Inconsistent Methods Charged
Whenever the Administration
wants an appropriation to go
through the talk OF deficit is for
gotten. This was true when a $12..
100000 loan was voted to Greece
the other day. When some ap-
preparation In which the people are
virtually interested and which the
Administration opposes Is brought
up. the Administration leaders say
there will be a deficit
Republican leaders. while ex.
pressing confidence that deficit
will be avoided. have continued to
demand utmost economy.

For this reason the concessions

Only 80 per cent OF the cities

Great strides have been made bv
the S0viets in the identification
OF the country. Cities having eIec-
tric light and power have doubled
in number since the war.
In Czarist Russia foreign capital

authorities IN denying that tho
broadening Of the concessions plan

they plan to give up to foreign
control only 20 per cent of the
new public utilities.
