DEBT WILL Be
ABOUT S254
BY international News Service

President Roosevelt's ten and
a half f-billion-dollar budget for
the current fiscal year has been
exceeded only twice in Americas
history.
Wartime expenditures reached
their peak during the first half
Of the 1919 fiscal year, resulting
in the nine-billion-dollar deficit
for that year. The 1920 surplus
was chiefly the result Of q large
reduction Of the gigantic cash
balance maintained by the
Treasury during the war.
The 1884 deficit was estimated
by the President at $7,3O9, ,O0O, 900,
Although the Administration
anticipates a large increase in
the public debt, bringing it to
$31 900, 100000 by the end OF
June, 1885, the per capita bur-
den is much heavier in great
Britain and France.
The per capita debt for the
estimated 122,0O0,0 900 American
population will be 1884. In Great
Britain the debt, distributed
equally to every man, woman anc
child would be three times greater
or 1888, based ON parity for ster
ling. In France the per capita
debt is about $3.50.
Figures for the Italian debt d.
not include the obligations in
Cured for war purposes or thu
per head debt probably would ex
ceed that of the United States. Ac
cording to Department of Com
merce records the per capita il
Italy is $156.
Although Germany virtual!
eliminated its public debt durinl
the inflationary period after tn
war an equal distribution to tn
population would be $48 each.
Public debts of the foreigl
countries were given as follows:
Great Britain, gill, 900 ,00l
pounds sterling; France, $4,000
600, 900 francs; Germany, 1921
100000 reichSmarks, and Italy

MEN BOLT
BLUE EAGLE

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 6,
Many Richmond restaurants and
cafeterias, which had agreed to
operate under the Blue Eagle of
the NRA until January /, 1884,
have shelved the eagle since New
Year Day, pending adoption OF
a restaurant code, it was observed
here.
Action by the restaurants in
removing the Blue Eagle from
their windows had attracted little
attention until employees of some
restaurants complained about be-
ing restored to the old system of
longer hours and shorter pay
which prevailed before the res
taurant men volunteered to go
under the NRA until January /,
One town restaurant
owner who, with several con.
fectioners, retained his eagles,
said that the code to be adopted
probably within two months
varies very little from the code
under which they had agreed to
operate voluntarily here and that
the respite gained by owners
would be slight at best.
It was explained that the Ma
tional Restaurant Association had
telegraphed members here that
they might legally drop the NRA
standards of pay and hours
until the ma tional code is

BRITISH BALK
At BARGAINING
ON LIQUOR
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Great Britain today was at
tempting to obstruct this Govern
ment's Yankee trader" plan Of
bargaining liquor quotas in return
for concessions of American goods
abroad.
The British government is OBJ
jecting to the princiole of bar
gaining for the right to ship
British liquor into this country.
Britain contends that in view
Of its unfavorable trade balance
with this country, it should have
the right to send as much liquor
as it can find a market for with
out being obliged to grant specific
concessions in return.
Policy Fixed
Americas trade negotiators,
however, have notified the Brit
iSh representatives that this Gov
ernment has adopted a definite
policy Of bargaining in regard to
liquor quotas, and that no further
permits will be issued for the
entry of British liquor until a
bargain is reached ereby
equally beneficial concessions will
be granted American exports to
Britain.
The British have been notified
this Government is particularly
desirous of increasing American
pork exports to Britain and is
prepared to negotiate an under
standing on that basis.
Following adoption of this stand
by the trade negotiators, the Brit
ish offered to increase the quota
on American pork imports from
6.3 to 7.6 per cent.
It was intimated Britain ex-
pected in return to be permitted
to ship as much liquor into this
country as it could market, but
the hint received a frigid recep-
ton.
Switch Likely
However, American traders fear
It may be necessary to switch
from pork to some other product
for bargaining purposes in view
of treaty which Britain has
with Denmark. Under this treaty,
Britain is pledged to take from
that country not less than 81 per
cent of all pork imported into the
British isles.
Meanwhile, the flow Of British
liquor into this country virtually
has come to a Standstill. The
original quota granted Britain,
amounting to 100000 gallons, be-
came exhausted several days ago.

ITALIA MASS|E
SEEKS DECREE
BY international News Service


Mrs. Thalia Massie, victim of
a criminal attack committed by
five native half castes in Homo
lulu in 1881, was packing today
to leave tomorrow for Reno, New,
to obtain a divorce from her hus-
band, 1t. Thomas H. Massie of
Winchester, KY. The divorce was
exclusively forecast months Ago
by The Washington Times. She
said:
''The divorce is being OBJ
tanned at the insistence of
Lieut.. MaSSie. / am personally
reluctant to take such a step,
because 1 am opposed to di-
vOrce. The divorce action is in
no way connected with the
Honolulu trial of April, 1882"
She will return here and get
a job.
Following the attack made on
on her Sept. 81, 1881, Joseph
Kahahawai, one of the accused,
was found shot and killed and
Mrs. Granville Fortescue, mother
of Mrs. Massie; Lieut.. Massie
and two naval enlisted men, AL
bert S. Jones, North Adams,
Mass, and E. j. Lord, Milford,
Mass, were convicted of murder
and sentenced on May 4, 1892, to

commuted their sentences to one
hour which they spent in the
courtroom, and not in prison.

NEW YORK, Jane 6 Q.N.SO.-
Engines will be placed in the

signer declared today.
Lowey described the national

this afternoon as the greatest

a forerunner of what might be
expected of automobiles in the
future. He said:
Engines will be placed in

If it were placed i'm the rear,
contrary to tradition, it would
assure 100 per cent visibility,
provide smoother running au-
tOmObile, contribute greater
cleanliness, and be much more
efficient. It would also increase
acceleratiOn and reduce fuel
consumption
Lowey said the current auto
show stressed genuine streamline
effects. He added:
"MOSt of the models are aero
dynamic. The Streamline effect
is the fOrerunner of the car in
the future which, if exhibited
now, would seem too extreme"
The designer pointed out that
the front seat of the models ex.
hibited, in general, was wider,
allowing a third person to sit
conf fortably up front.

{. D. P. To SEIZE
ON FINANCES
AS ISSUE
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


Government finances, an alb
struse subject at best, now threaten
to become the big issue of the
1884 campaign for control of Con
greSS.
Republican leaders on Capitol
Hill believe that President RooSe.
velt'S budget, disclosing a ten.
thousand million dollar spending
program this year, a deficit OF
seven thousand million dollars,
and a public debt of nearly thirty
two thousand million dollars in
1885, has furnished them with q
ready-made issue which they can
take to the country. They are
laying their plans accordingly.
Take Stump in Spring
With Congress providing 9
natural sounding board, the Re
publicans are going to hammer
away on this issue throughout this
session, preparatory to taking the
stump as soon as the session ends
The Republicans are going tt

tion of the public debt by some
5000 million dollars during three
successive Republican administra.
tionS. They are going to "vieW
with alarm" the virtual doubling
of the public debt during one
Democratic administration.
There is uneasineSs in some
Democratic quarters over the pros
pect, but for the most part the
Democrats welcome the issue
They concede that budgetary def
icitS and a public debt of nearly
$4,000 thousand million dollars
may be disturbing to bankers and
men of finance generally, but they
believe that as a political issue il
will prove dud; that it cannot
be "sold" to the proverbial man in
the street, whose understanding Of
high finance is limited at best.
Up to "Average Man"
AS one Democratic spokesman
put it:
'Let 'em try it. There are
more common people in this
country than there are bank
erS. The lot of the average
man today is better than it
was this time a year ago, or
two years ago. That's where
the test will come, public debt
or no public debt"
All of the House, 435 members
and 33 Senators face the voters
next November.
The Democrats do not expect
or hope to hold their present
overwhelming majorities, which
are the largest in history. The
political pendulum always has
swung backward in an off-year
and the Democrats recognize the
fact.
The temper of the Republicans
has changed considerably during
this first week of Congress. Wher
they arrived in the Capital, theil
spirits for the most part were al
pretty low ebb.
