NATIONAL DEFICIT INCREASING AS
INCOME DROPS BEHIND EXPENSES
Secretary Morgenthau's Report Shows Expenditures
Mounting To Huge Sum Due To Heavy
Emergency Demands

The rise in government expendi-
lures in the 1884 fiscal year to ST.
r5.050.084 from $5,142, ,953,627 in
fhe preceding year, the report said,
was entirely due to expansion in
emergency expenditures, which in
creased from s1,277 100000 to $4,-
004.000,000. General expenditures
fell from $3.866,000,00 to $3,101,-
100000.
Emergency expenditures included

000,0e0 for emergency relief, $685.
100000 for the Reconstruction Fin
ance corporation and 1892 900, 900
for emergency conservation.
Secretary Morgenthau spoke
hopefully of the recent rise in
federal revenues, resulting from
business improvement, new taxes
on beer and liquor, changes in tax
laws and vigorous drive for COL
lection of back taxes.
The ability of the treasury to
borrow new billions of dollars was
shown in decrease in interest on
the public debt from $3.50 to 3.1S1
per cent.
Discussion of fiscal policies was
left out of the report but were in
cluded in the budget message of
President Roosevelt. Secretary
Morgenthau said he had been told
that his annual report was the
"driest report any secretary of the
treasury ever put out"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-Gov-
ernment expenditures are running
at new peace-time records as Pre-
sident Roosevelt asks new billions
for the recovery program, the trea-
sury disclosed today in its annual
report to congress.
The report, the first under the
signature of Secretary Henry Nor
genthau, Jr., carefully avoided pre-
dictions of future fiscal or none
tary policies. 1t was confined large
ly to review of the 1884 fiscal
year ended June 80, 1894.
The report showed expenditures
of $7,105, ,050,084 in that period, the
highest since 1919, and income of
only $3,115,544,049, leaving the gov
ernment "in the red" $3,989, ,496, OBS.
For the 1885 fiscal year ending
June 30, 1885, the report estimat-
ed total expenditures of 1881 ,069, :
026 and income of $3,711 $50, ,688,
which would make a further def
cit of $4,869 ,418,338.
With costs running far in excess
of income, the treasury was forced
to borrow in the last fiscal year a
total of $4,514, ,468,854; carrying the
public debt to peak of $27,053,-
141,414
By June 80, 1895, it was estimat-
ed the public debt would reach
another new high of S31 ,086, ,633, ,874.
