Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Government expenditures for the
fiscal year passed s4,0O0,O00,000 to-
day, leaving $1,000, 900, 900 to be spent
by the end of June to fulfill Presi-
dent Roosevelt's budget estimates.
Despite the huge expenditures, the
large profit reaped on gold dollar de-
valuation left the Treasury with .
surplus of $601, ,705 900.
Eliminating the gold profit of S2,-
807, SAB OBS would leave a $2.206, ,000,-
600 deficit.
Seven-Billion Deficit.
Mr.. Roosevelt estimated the deficit
at the fiscal year end on July l would
be $7,309, 100000. This would bring
the public debt from today,s figure of
$25 5,218, 900, 900 to s29,847 ,O00, 900.
Emergency expenditures for the
fiscal year to date totaled S2,261 ,674,-

emergency expenditures for the entire
yeay exceeded $7,500O00,OO0, with the
R. F. c. topping other agencies with
S3,96e, 100000. At present the R. F.
c. is leading all other emergency
agencies with outlays Of ST, ,l65, 900, 900.
Doubt Expenditure.
Doubt has existed in some quarters
as to whether the Government can
actually spend as much money as
estimated
Secretary Morgenthau has ex-
pressed the belief it could be done
and simultaneously has emphasized
the Government will not exceed the
budget.
Total receipts for the fiscal year
were given as $4,635 ,951 900, but this
includes the $2,807, 100000 gold
profit.
