ton. the treasury head recalled pointing out year ago that contin- uance of the one per cent reduc- ton then made would depend on the revenue prospects this month. These now indicate that the temporary decrease can not be continued dur ing the current year"
 Added to Debt Fund
 Contrasting with the deficit fore cast, the 1930 fiscal |, year surplus was slS3,7S9,2l5. Every bit went toward retirement Of the public debt. which stood at sl6,lS5,30S,299 when the year closed.
 Calculations on the future led to a request for legislation making possible refunding operations, which would aim at putting all or part of the national debt on d lower inter- est rate basis if money conditions justify. Mellon asked that the loan law be amended with the object of granting the treasury complete freedom in determining the charac- ter of securities to be issued" in any refunding, and to allow eight bil- lion dollars in new bond issues to be put out as a refunding operation, which would retire like amounts of older debt.

Further, his report repeated recommendation that congress free income taxpayers who buy federal securities from liability for the pay ment of income tax on the reaiza- tion for such investments. That would give national paper the same exemption status as that now held by states and municipal borrowings.
 The secretary foresaw some changes in the form of payment hitherto received from foreign gov ernments by the United States as a result of war loans, saying:
 Payments In Cash
 Tt is reasonably certain that the December interest payments on ac- count Of foreign debts will be paid in cash, and it is quite possible that this may be equally true in June. It is impossible to forecast what method of payment foreign debtors may elect, though it is entirely pos sible thSt part of the interest pay ments will be made in securities"
 If the deficit undertakes, 1t will be the first time q surplus has been missed since 1919. Mellon looks to 1882 to bring back a favorable bal ance, to the extent of s30.6OO. coo. The estimates set the income tax
New Britain herald., 1930-12-04

revenue then at 2.2G0 100000, or $70,000, 900 more than expected this year.
 As another evidence of expecting better business in the year starting next July first, the treasury sccre- tary estimated customs receipts for that time would be S110.OO0. 900 greater than the $502.000, 900 ex- pccter this year. The latter estimate represetns d dtop of $S5,000, GOO un- der the 1880 figure. Miscellaneous taxes arc expected 10 bring $623,- 100000 this year and 10 increase by $53, 1000 in the next,
 Collection smaller
 Tho estimate that S3,S34. 243 would be collected by the govern- mcnt this year was $iO0,000, 900 smaller than the estimates submit ted 10 congress q year ago.
 .Thc earlier estimate did not take into consideration the one per cent income tax reduction and was made at time when it was impossible 10 appraise the severity of the busi- ness depression then in it's early stages" Mellon said. "Rcduction in that estimate was made necessary by subsequent developments in in dustry and commerce, as well as in
