HOPE SEEN IN new
NAVAL APPROACHES
Reports to U. S. Indicate
French Mind Open to Friend
Iy British Pressure.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Reports received in Washington from
Paris indicate that the French have re-
ceived with an open mind the new APP
proaches for settlement of the naval
dispute with Italy, made to them on
behalf of the British government by
Robert L. Craigie, chief of the Ameri-
can section of the British foreign office
and confidential agent of Prime Min
lister Ramsay Macdonald.
This alone is considered encouraging
by the American State Department, in
view of the fact that only short while
ago Mr.. Craigie had returned to Lon
don with the information that the
Italo-French naval problem was COM
pletely deadlocked.

VATICAN RUMOR DENIED

Regular Broadcasting Program Not

VATICAN CITY, February Is CP).-
Reports that the new papal radio sta
ton would begin a regular broadcast
ing program on Monday were semi
officially denied this afternoon
For several weeks, 1t was said, the
station will be on the air frequently, but
only for tests with stations in distant
parts of the world, and nothing has
been settled with reference to regular
programs.
This afternoon the station broadcast

cent Of their total tonnage In order to
enable the United States Navy to reach
parity with the British. Now the French
are at a loss, not knowing what else
they can propose, and are inclined to
think that it is up to Italy to make the
next move. Failing in this, they will
be compelled to proceed with their
naval program.
No American Anxiety.
American naval experts show no anx-
iety over the French and Italian naval
programs. It is authoritatively stated
that both nations can proceed at the
present rate of naval constructions I'M
til 1888 without forcing the British to
use the "escalator clause" After that
time, If no solution of the Italo-French
naval problem is found, the British will
be forced to use the "escalator," and
we will have to revise our own building
program. It is for this reason that the
administration is so anxious that Con-
gress should not delay the present mod
crate naval construction program.
The fact that the French have de-
cided to build a 23,000-ton battleship Is
undoubtedly worrying the Italians, but
does not disturb either our Navy De-
partment or the British admiralty.
The French have under the Washing
ton treaty the right to build number
of capital ships and 1t is up to them to
choose the propitious moment for doing
so. The Italians have the same right,
and the only thing that might deter
them from putting such ships on the
slips is their exorbitant cost.
Although the cost of naval construc-
ton is lower in Italy and in France
than in the United States, small bat

GREAT DEFICIT IN TREASURY OF
 UNITED STATES
BY PAUL R. MALLON

United Press stan COrrcspOnuSNtJ
 Washington, May 19.-(UP):- President Hoover's economy drive was upsrred on by a realistic de. .yelopment to-day when the treasury balance sheet turned up with Q de- felt of $973,S70,592.23.
 Visions of a possible tax Increase were raised by this mounting figure as the bookkeepers of four govern ment departments-navy, treasury, post office and agriculture-made ready to face MT. Hoover with their budgets. They will be called to ac- count individually at successive weekend conferences at the Rapidan camp before the end of the fiscal year, June 30. .s already over, MT. Hoover's task seemed almost insurmountable. Hardly a scratch has been made in the outlays for the war and interior departments.
 A little over $4,O00.O00 is the saw ing planned in the interior, while war department economies are hard ly expected to boost this figure above $1O,OO0, ,000.
 With s974.o0O. .oOO needed to make the books balance. the $1O,OO0.O0O saving prospect has been somewhat disheartening.
 TO dig deeper into federal expen- ditures would interfere with the ex- pansion program to which Hr. Hoover is welded as a step to coun- ter-act the business depression. In working matters out the savings may amount to more than existing figures would indicate, but the size of the deficit has made 1t evident that some other way than cutting expenses must be feund to make the books balance.
 Treasury officials expect the de- felt may reach a billion dollars be- fore the end of the fiscal year-a deficit higher than all the expenses of government ( years ago. It was the sgd congress which raised gov- ernment expenditures to that figure, . development so astounding at that time 1t became political issue.
 The defense of the increases was made by Speaker Reed. whose re. mark, "this is a billion dollar coun. try" was famous enough to last un- til the present day.
 Government expenses are annually running near the s4.000. .OO0, ,00O mark now. Expenses to date as shown in the treasury accounts amount to e3,4OO.e6s.000 with six weeks to 20. Largest expenditures are in the veterans bureau. t44e.000,. 600 and the war department, e4G3..
