FORECASTS DEBT

National Economy League
Urges Tapering Off of
u. S. Outlay.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July pa national
debt of s34 ,0Oo. 600 900 at the close of
the fiscal year was forecast last night
by the Managing Committee of the
National Economy League in a review
of the organizations work since its
creation Two years ago.
Such q debt. the committee said
would be the largest in history and
constitute n danger to the Govern
ments financial structure.
The time to make sure OF bal
aneing the budget" it continued lis
not July l. 1885. the day 1t takes
effect. but during the period between
now and then The time to taper of
debt habit is in advance of q pos
sible crisis and not after the crisis
is upon u.s."
Fixed Charges Reduced.
Declaring the league has been 'un-
firing in its efforts to secure econ
omy in government" the report said:
In the national field. the net re-
suit mas been an annual reduction Of
well over 800 millions of dollars in
the fixed charges Of the Federal Gov
ernment.
Some ground was lost through the
overriding in April. 1884, of President
Roosevelt's veto of the independent
offices bill for the fiscal year begin
ming July !, 1884, whereby. among
other things, the veterans appropria-
ton was increased beyond the Presi-
dents budget estimate.
Annual Saving Shown.
Nevertheless, the net result OF the
campaign the league undertook is an
immense annual saving. The esti-
mated veterans expenditure for the
fiscal year beginning July /, 1884, is
1929 100000 instead of the ss45, ,0O0,-
600 appropriation for the year begin
ming July l, 1888, vetoed by Presi-
dent Hoover"
The committee said the league was
aware that the needy must be aided
until unemployment for them can be
found.
1t is this fact" 1t added, that
makes strict economy more essential
than at any time in our history"
The league said it would continue
to seek q balanced budget and op-
pose any attempt to restore the old
veterans abuses" trying also to put
veterans expenditures on a fair and
sound basis.
