Secretary in Plea For
Passage of Tax
Program

WASHINGTON, April 30.
(UP) - Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr., today estimated
the 1886 fiscal year deficit
would hit an all-time peacetime
record high of $5,966 100000
Morgenthau, appealing to the
senate finance committee for en-
actment of President Roosevelt'S
full tax program. revealed that
bonus payments ana other devel-
cpments since presentation Of
President Roosevelts budget mes
sage in January, had shot the es-
timated deficit up from S3,234,-
5O7,392 to only few million dol
lars short of $6,000000 900.
At the same time, he estimated
the 1897 deficit would drop to
about $2,675 100000. The presi-
dent in his budget message esti-
mated the 1897 deficit at about
81 098, 100000 without taking ac-
count of relief expenditures.
Morgenthau attributed the in
crease almost entirely to bonus
payments which he predicted would
tap the Treasury resources FOR
about So .237000,0O0
Had it not been for this factor
he said, a steadily reGuced deficit
might have been expected.
In the war years of 1918 and
1919 the treasury ran into the red
more than $9,O0O,0O0,000 and $13,-
370,00O,0O0, respectively. The larg-
est previous peace time deficit was
in 1884 when it amounted to So
