LAVAL TO SUGGEST.
CUT IN WAR DEBTS
Paris Dispatch Says French
Want to Put Armament
On Cost Basis

Paris, Oct. 17.-(PNPrem1er Laval,
en- route to America, was represented
by the newspaper lie Matin Saturday
as having been advised to propose to
President Hoover so per cent re-
duction in inter-governmental war
debts in place of a possible extension
Of the one-year moratorium.
His experts urged him also to sug-
gest progressive reduction in arma-
ments on the basis of budget costs
rather than the idea of equality, the
paper said, and with the stipulation
that the Kellogg BRAND peace pact
be amended to provide that in the
event Of war the United States would
consult with other powers and agree
to deprive the aggressor of all as
sistance.
II he follows their advice, he would
oppose remuneration of Germany's
unconditional reparations payments,
It was said, but would accept the sub
stitution Of payments in kind for
payments in money.

HOOVER Will CUT
FEDERAL BUDGET
TO LAST PENNY
President Will Try to Bring Ex-
penses and Income into
Better Balance

Washington, Oct. 17.-(P)-Presi-
dent Hoover plans to lay before con-
gress 1888 budget stripped Of "every
cent consonant with the obligations
of the government"
In an effort to bring expenditures
and revenues into closer relationship
he has demanded every principal
government officer revise downward
estimates for the next fiscal year
Meritorious and unmeritorious prof.
ects alike are to be shelved.
He has also asked the aid of public
opinion in support of drastic econ
omies"
Standing Friday before group Of
newspapermen gathered for his reg
ular press conference, Hoover said:
I'm times when the income Of the
people Is reduced and when taxes or
loans may stifle economic recovery,
there Is only one course Of sound fis-
cal policy and that is to reduce the
expenditures Of the government to
the last cent consonant with the obli-
cations of the government"
Deficit Is Increasing
Before him, the president has the
statement of the treasury showing a
deficit for the first three months Of
the present fiscal year $500, ,106, 800.
This is approximately $485 ,000, 900
more than it was for the same period
of last year, when the 12-mocth de-
ficiency amounted to nearly a billion
dollars.
Departing from his prepared state
ment, the president injected belief
that improved conditions were in the
offing. He said it was difficult to
estimate now for expenditures to be
made after next July l, when better
times could be expected.
Two great difficulties, he held
balk his program Of reduced expen-
ditureS.
I'VE must meet interest payments
on the statutory redemption Of the
public debt" he said, I'VE must pay
allowances and pensions to veterans
and pensions to civil servants, etc
Thus over two billion Of the federal
budget Is in fixed obligations"
The second difficulty he enume-
rated as the necessity for the govern
ment making its contribution toward
expanded employment while present
conditions exist.
Public opinion In support Of dras-
tic economies will need to reach into
these directions. It must extend also
to the encouragement OF special in
terests desirous Of securing expendi-
lures for special projects"
Trouble Looms for Navy
The navy's Curtailed budget esti-
mate, clipping millions from project
ed expenditures, probably Is headed
straight for rough weather.
An enormous proportion Of the
savings suggested by Sec r e tary
Adams and his admirals comes ir
shore activities. employing many
men. supplying trade to many COM
munities. Members Of congress nor
mally set up great clamor any time
that kind of cut is proposed around
their home towns.
! When the naval budget cut off the
navy yards at Boston and Charles
ton, South Carolina, it aimed at two
expenditures long on the naval list
for abandonment. They and others
of the type had come to be known ir
naval circles, and to some extent
outside, as political" yards.
j Besides the yards. radio stations
and other depots listed for abandon
ment, the navy has slashed off nu-
merouS bands, much valued by cities
which do not support their own.
