NATIONAL DEFICIT
 IS 356 MILLIONS
Unemployment and Farm Relief Add to General Expense
LIMIT OF EXPENDITURES
Seed Loans and Appropriations to Provide Work for JOblcss Swell Total to New High Estimate for Year.

Washington. Dec (PI - The de- | ficit expected by the administration at the end of this fiscal year will be at least $355,00o, ,0O0.
 This figure has been arrived at by adding the appropriations for un- employment and farm relief to the routine expenditures, which alone will account for the S1S0,000, GOO de- ficit estimated in the presidents 1 budget message.
 It was figured also on the basis Of s25,000.000 for farmers seed loans. Should the S60,000,000 figure advanced in congress prevail, the de- ficif would total S390.o00.o00 Any further appropriations not included in the presidents recommendations 10 congress would. of course, push the figure still higher.
 i Limit of Expenditures The administration considers the budget recommendations. and sup . plemcntary relief expenditures advo- cated, reach the limit to which the government may go without incrcas- ing taxes. There is a distinct disap- proval of suggestions that money be borrowed for relief financing, the sentiment being based on a theory that this would take up capital which is needed urgently by private enterprise. Upon the latter q large share of the relief burden is expect cd to fall,
 Additional information on the i building program advanced by the president is that many Of the pro- jccts included already have been ad- vanced through the preliminary stages so actual employment of la Dor can begin as soon as the money becomes available or contracts are let
 Time Between Jobs
 An argument in support of the presidents contention that selection Of new projects by congress would involve too much time for effective use of the appropriation this winter, has been advanced in studies by the budget bureau, which show eight to nine months must lapse in prcpara ton between the time a project IS authorized and actual work com ! menCes.
