to congress for action.
Signs of a brighter outlook for
the nations carriers. the report
said, could be seen in leSsening
of unfair competition, increased

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. (UP).
President Roosevelt made it clear
to the nation yesterday that his
recovery program, in its broad
outlines, is no temporary, emer-
gency structure but is designed
as the foundation of permanent
edifce.
Some Republicans accused him
of lack of specific recommends
tions for congress, such as most
presidents in modern times have
given in their opening messages.
But the opening message is known
additionally as message on the
state of the nation, and Mr..
Roosevelt made it. exactly that,
outlining his hopes and his plans,
castigating numerically unethical
business men, and showing by IN
ference that he remained .Jeamit-
ted 20 the ideal Of the variable
dollar-presumably the coinmod-
ity dollar.
The m G ssage overShadowed
everything else in Washington; the
opening of congress was only
setting for it.
Two questions have been thrown
most often in Mr.. Roosevelt's d.
rection lately by his critics, and
yesterday he answered both:
/. Will the dollar be stabilized,
and when? The reply: xxx with
the Xxx purpose x X of arrlV-
ing eventually at medium of eX-
change which will have over the
years less variable purchasing and
debt-paying power for our people
than that of the past x.' That
can only be interpreted as mean
ing that Mr.. Roosevelt is not IN
favor of permanent sterilization
in .rrms of metal. AS to immedl-
ate temporary sterilization: Ger,
tain of our sister nations lind
themselves so handicapped by in
ternal and other conditions that

F. R. DECLARES
THIS NEEDED
IN EMERGENCY
Would Balance Books and
Further Finance the
Recovery Program
WOULD NOT BOOST
TAXES ON INCOMES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. (UP).
President Roosevelt reported to
congress today in his first annual
budget message an overall deficit
of $7,309,06S,211 for this fiscal
year and the necessity of borrow
ing $10,000,000,000 by July | t.
balance the treasury books. These
figures represent the bill for re-
covery to that date. They Imply
an emergency expenditure at 4
rate of upwards of one billion
dollars every month for the next
six months.
The Presidents tax proposals
do not include increased income
levies. Roosevelt is understood tn
feel that income taxes will not be-
increased this session.
He recommended that the 3
cent postal rate for non-local mail
be continued and estimated $780,
100000 annually may be CAMEL
by the amendment of certain adj
ministrative sections of the in
come tax law in which J. p. Nor
gan and others found loopholes
for tax evasion.
Deliberately utilizing only the
lowest estimates of potential reve-
nue. and generally the highest es-
Inmates Of potential expenditure,
the President expects that the NJ
innate facts will be more favor
able than those pictured in his
message.
For instance, his liquor income
estimate at the two dollar per gal
lon tax rate was for an increase
of only $5O,O00,O00 above the in
come from the existing rate Of
$1.10. The message contained an
indirect warning to states to
avoid loading liquor with burden
some gallonage taxes.
The federal deficit Of S7,3O?,-
068,211 as reported by President
Roosevelt in his budget message
was reported by the treasury de:
partment for the current fiscal
year ending June 30.
The treasury figures are based
the same bureau of budget esti-
mates as used by the President
but did not include the Sligo
100000 emergency item added by
President Roosevelt.
