FINANCE PROBLEMS
Back From Europe, Faces
Task of Preventing New
Deficit.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated EreSS.
Reticent as usual, Secretary Mellon
returned to the Treasury today to take
up number OF vexatious questions that
confront the Government IN its financ-
ing operatienz
He reached his desk shortly after 9
o'clock, conferred with Undersecretary
Mills and left at III O'Clock for his first
cabinet meeting since June.
It was expected that President Hoover
would confer at length with Mr. Mellon
regarding general conditions in Europe.
and particularly those in England, where
the fall Of the Labor government has
been laid by the London Daily Herald
to the alleged insistence Of American
bankers that drastic economies be made
In the dole
Comment Withheld.
No ofiicial of the Treasury, Federal
Reserve Board or State Department
would comment on the charges made in
the Herald. Great Britain's chief Labor
organ.
Mr.. Mellon, who left for . vacation
in Europe early last June only to be
called upon by President Hoover to play
the principal role abroad In the
moratorium negotiations. lost no time
ON his return In attacking the difficulties
facing the Treasury IN face Of the rapid
decline in Government tax collections.
While no word came from his ONCE,
It seemed likely that one of his 1irgt
steps would be to decide the kind OF
financing the Government would adopt
for its September Is Offering Of
securities. Then more than half BILE
Lion dollars worth of Treasury certin-
Gates fan due and funds for operating
the Government until December IS
must be provided.
It has been forecast In financial
circles that the Treasury, before the
ffrst OF the year, would announce
large long-term bond issue to provide
money for operating the Government
In the face Of what seems certain and
large deficit at the end Of the present
fiscal year. The Government concluded
the last Ascal year with deficit OF
sos. 0o0, 900.
Must Plan New Tax.
The Secretary also must work out be-
fore Congress ccnyenes In December a
plan for raising funds required for
Government expenditures. He has said
the income tax systematic base Of the
Federal tax plan--has proven insuffi-
cient TO meet the demands Of the Gov
eminent In times of depression, and
has suggested the entire tax system
might need overhauling TO base 1t upon
some more stable form, such as an
excise tax.
The Secretary has never indicated
what he favored IN this direction
However, he has said the income tax
schedules reach only a minor number
of citizens, and that reductions in its
schedules over the period Of years have
reduced the number paying income tax
until q small portion now pay the
larger part Of the cost OF operating the
Government.
Treasury oficials have said any deficit
that might pile up during the present
fiscal year could be met as was that OF
the last fiscal year-through increasing
the public debt, which has been reduced
faster than required by law since 1920
