EMERGENCY TOTAL
SET AT 4 BILLIONS
Borrowing, However, Is
Three Billion Short of Fig.
ure Set by President.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Governments emergency ex-
penditures during the fiscal year to
end June 80 probably will total more
than four billion dollars.
The Treasury today set the figure
for June 10 at s3,824, 895,985. The
last II days will carry that amount
over the four-billion mark at the
present rate of spending. Borrowing
of the Government during the six
months ending June 80, however, will
be upwards of three billion dollars
short of the $10,000,000 900 estimate
made by President Roosevelt in his
budget message to Congress Janu-
airy 4.
Total Set at S7,197, ,0O0,0 900.
The total was set by Treasury off,
cials today at S7,197 900, 900, includ-
ing SIS 900, 600 of Treasury bills to be
sold next week. OF this, $3,162. 600, 900
represents new money and the re-
mainder refunding.
No further important borrowing Is
expected until September
The national debt, standing at S26.-
981 ,458,205, June 20. exceeded the
1919 peak by 1894, ,756,557 but was far
short of the $29,847, 100000 named by
the President as prospective for the
fiscal year end.
Expenditures will come substantially
under the SO ,403 ,066, ,967 figure he set,
having reached $6,851 ,124,353 June 20.
On the same day receipts of $3,042,-
556.414 were within striking distance
of the s3,259, ,938,756 sum included in
the budget.
Figure Regarded as Limit.
The opinion has never been widely
held that the Government, even with
its enormous emergency operations
would spend the huge amount project
ed by Mr. Roosevelt, and it has been
looked on generally as an informal
outside limit under most adverse de-
velopments rather than an attempt
to guage actual outgo in advance
When the budget was prepared, ex-
penditures were running at the rate
of $500 100000 a month, but since
January they have never gone as high
as s50O,000,0O0.
Borrowing since the first OF the
year consists of S2,43l 100000 Treas
ury bills, $2,88l ,000,0 900 Treasury GER
tificates and notes with maturities
extending to 1899 and S1,885, 900, 900
bonds maturing from 1914 to l948.

Every one will remember that one
of the original reasons for embarking
on the silver policy was to help trade
with China. Recently the Bank of
China expressed some views as to the
effects of the policy thus far. They
might be thumbnailed as follows:
"An artificial increase in the price
of silver is fraught with danger to
China. Already there has been a
continuous drain of silver from the
interior to Shanghai. and this must
ultimately end in contraction of
currency and credit in the up-country,
a fall in commodity prices, and the
bankruptcy of rural economy.
"China's purchasing power in for
eign markets depends not upon the
establishment of an artificially high
price for silver, but upon the value
of her export trade in commodities.
That means our silver policy is
hurting Far Eastern trade instead of
helping it.
One unstdted reason tDhy Mr..
Morgenthdu Would not buy bootleg
liquor stocks is because he could
not find any. At least he sent out
some agents to find out tDhere the
hidden, 100000 gallons of old
time bootleg really tDere and they
reported back that there might
be teW gallons lying around
somewhere, but no one seemed to
knoU where.
The tip is cut in the bigger business
quarters that two men are certain
to be appointed to the new Securities
Commission in addition to Messrs.
Lands and Mathews. They are
James G. Auchinloss, a veteran New
York financial man, and Dean Witter,
San Francisco broker Witter is sup
posed to be backed by the McAdoo
forces and Auchinloss has some re-
mote family connections with a
prominent administration adviser.
They would represent the business
side, and may be blocked for that
reason.

A secret stairway concealed beneath

A secret stairway concealed beneath
a telephone counter enabled more than
80 persons to escape late yesterday
when police chopped their way
through a skylight and literally
dropped into an alleged gambling re-
sort in the 400 block of Eleventh

The raiders, led By Lieut.. George M.

one of whom, Nathan Hyman, SO. of
the 900 block of I street, was charged
with setting up gaming table. The
other man, Clyde Brewster, so, Of the

preme Court when Justice Peyton

rants. Later, United States Attorney

drop all similar cases.

pected resorts.
