ROOSEVELT STARTS
INTENSIVE STUDY OF
BUVGETARY DETAILS
OUTLAWS For His First Year Will
Be Recommended BY
Present Officials

Warm Springs, Ga, Nov. 28.-(R-
Faced by the prospect of having the
governmental budget for the first fis-
cal year of his administration framed
by Republicans, Franklin D. Roosevelt
has begun an extensive study of ma
tional budgetary matters and his con-
ferences this week largely will revolve
around that hub.
The preSident-elect Is in the posi-
ton Of having pointed several times
during his campaign to the Demo-
cratic platform pledge Of Is pei
cent reduction in governmental ex-
penditures and yet having all of the
OUTLAWS that will be made during the
first year Of his administration draft
ed by a budget bureau chief and pre-
sented by president of the opposite
party to congress of divided control
The forthcoming short session will
pass the appropriation bills that al
locate the funds for the operation OF
the government until the end of June
1894, but 1t Is likely that will be the
last time an incoming president will
be faced with such a situation.
The constitutional amendment de.
signed to abolish so-called lame duck
sessions Of congress ana shorten the
time between the election and inaug-
uration of a president already has
been approved by many states.
Already the president-elect has
talked with Speaker Garner and with
Representative Byrns Of Tennessee
chairman Of the house appropriations
committee. Monday he expected t1

Robinson Of Arkansas, the Demo.
cratic leader, and Sunday he talked
for long time with Senator Byrnes
Of South Carolina, member Of the
senate appropriations committee and
a man with wide knowledge Of that
particular subject.

ADVOCATES OF BEER
AND REPEAL FACING
STRONG OPPOSITION
Speaker Garner Drafts Repeal
Resolution to Considera-
ton BY Committee

Washington, Nov. 28.-(P)-Prohi-
bition repeal and beer advocates In
the present congress are meeting op-
position from drys that may result
In complications Of their plans TO,
speedy action.
Some opponents Of outright repeal
last week demanded a repeal vote
before action on beer, after vets hac
made known their plans first to seel
Volstead modification.
Speaker Gamers announcement
he would permit a repeal resolution
to be voted on in the house on the
first day of congress took drys BY
surprise. Republicans who had sci
up clamor for q repeal vote before
action on beer also were taken un.
awareS.
AS a result drys began to scout
about for other tactics to delay &C.
ton on both repeal and beer.
Senator Borah Of Idaho, Republi-
can prohibitionist leader, said that
repeal should be acted on first. 9th.
ers have said privately they would
vote for repeal, but not for beer.
They do not want either to come
up. So, the question of alcoholic
content of beer. the matter of distri-
button, and other questions are be.
ing raised.
Those who don't want to vote or
outright repeal are seeking to force
a provision outlawing the saloon.
Some drys believe they have bet
ter opportunity Of preventing rati'
fication of repeal by putting thu
question before state conventions
which they hope to control. Some
anti-prohibitionists desire action BY
state legislatures to expedite action.
Many Democrats and Republican,
who have switched from dry to wei
in recent months claim they would
have to vote for repeal before beer

JAPANESE TARIFF

TOXIC, May 24.-Government Off

increase bill, which was prepared for
presentation to the Diet by the govern
ment of the late Premier lnukai, prob
ably would be introduced without
change by the new cabinet when the
Parliament reconvenes within few
days.
The bill was not presented yesterday
because the Diet adjourned to await the
completion of the new cabinet which
Admiral Saito was commissioned to
form by Emperor Hirohito last Sunday.
officials said Korekiyo Takahashi,
finance minister of the Inukai cabinet,
probably would hold over into the new
government and the bill would go for
ward as If nothing had happened. Its
passage, they said, was considered as
sured.
IS Per Cent Increase.
The bill provides for 35 per cent in
crease In all specific duties to Offset the
loss Of revenue due to the depreciation
of the yen. 1t also provides for various
other raises, extended over 40 categorieS
of articles.
The American interests chiefly af-
fected are the automobile assembly
plants of the Ford Motor Co. at Yoko-
hama and the General Motors Co. at
Osaka because Of higher duties on mo-
tors and other parts.
The Corn Products Co., which is
building a big plant at Hello, also is
hit by an increase in the duty on corn
of over 500 per cent. American lum-
Der interests also are affected by duties
which are raised to an average of so
per cent in the new bill.
Boosts Duty on Wheat.
The bill also increases the duty on
wheat from l yen SO sen (about As
cents per 100 kin (about 1873 pounds)
to yen SO sen per 100 kin. The United
States furnishes only about IA per cent
of Japan'S wheat supply although this
amounts to 20,000,000 bushels.
The American embassy staff has es-
timated however, that the wheat in
crease is not likely to affect greatly
the American imports, since it is i'm
possible to reduce appreciably the pres
ent amount.
The finance ministry has estimated
that the bill will yield 100000 yen
(about S5,500000) additional revenue
in the present fiscal year.
