Essary Says Americans

By the Associated Press.

WHITEFIELD, N. H., Oct. IA
prediction that Americans of the
present generation never would con-
sent to engage in another foreign
war was offered tonight by j. Fred
EsSary, chief of the Baltimore Suns
Washington bureau.
Americans will remain firm in that
stand" embargo or no embargo,
neutrality or no neutrality"-the
newspaperman told 400 bankers and
guests at the Goth fall meeting of

citation and the Savings Bank Asso-
citation of New Hampshire.
Mr.. Essary advocated that the
United States arm to the point that
no other nation would trif1e with it.
He expressed belief the Senate would
repeal the present embargo on arms,
but described the outcome of action
on control of ships and credits as a
"toss-up."
Commenting on the domestic po-
1itical situation, he said the Demo-
Gratis feared they could not win in
1910 with or without President
Roosevelt and that the Repub-
1icans feared being too conservative
or too radical for the voters. The
Republicans, he added, had no fixed
reason for gaining over the Demo-
Gratis at the moment.

War and Trade Rise

Lost January Is Due
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Long official huddling over Uncle
Sans budget has produced the
opinion that the war and the busi-
ness upswing will cut the deficit a
little this year, maybe a lot next
fiscal year.
President Roosevelt's annual fall
"budget summation" to be issued in
a few weeks. is authoritatively ex-
pected to estimate that the deficit
for the fiscal year ending next June
80 will be little less than the
So, 426, ,343, 200 he predicted last Janu-
ary. He won't guess on the outlook
for the following fiscal year until his
regular budget message to Congress
In January.
The sharp business improvement
Of the late summer arrived too late
to change this years figures much.
On the spending side, only relief
could change very radically, and
Col. F. c. Harrington, the w. P. A.
chief, has warned that the potential
war boom is not likely to affect relief
costs much for the present.
Savings Offset.
If farm prices resume the squirt
they had at the outbreak of the war,
they could, in time, materially re-
duce agricultural benefits paid out
OF the Treasury, but benefit commit
ments for this year are already out.
Furthermore, there are offsets for
whatever little savings may be made
on the anticipated S9,095, ,663, 200 of
spending this fiscal year. The first
OF these is the estimated $l40 900 900
extra cost involved in enlarging
Army, Navy and Coast Guard per-
sonnel under the Presidents emer-
gency proclamation.
However, the revenue picture is a
little brighter than it was last Janu-
ary when this fiscal years income
was estimated at $500 $4,000. It
is known that the Treasury figured
that revenue on conservative basis,
and business indices show trade has
improved materially in the last few
months.
Higher trade Immediately i'm
proves revenues from the various
manufacturing excises - gasoline,
automobiles, radios, refrigerators,
oil, liquor and tobacco.
Slow to Reflect Conditions.
Income tax revenues, however, are
slow to reflect changed business con-
ditions. Until next March, the
Treasury still will be collecting in
come taxes based on what people
earned in the calendar year 1888, a
relatively poor business year. In
March and June, before the cur
rent fiscal year ends, the first two
installments will be collected based
on 1899 income and revenue from
this source may be larger than was
expected.
The budget improvements poten-
tial in war boom"-if it actually
develops-might, however, mass to-
gether in the next fiscal year to
erase or at least radically reduce
the annual deficit.
Revenues during a boom would
necessarily rise. Relief costs and
agricultural benefits would drop
as much as 81, 900 yO00, 900 If the boom
was big enough. Some costs would
continue to rise, particularly those
for national defense and for pur-
chasing supplies whose prices prob
ably would rise
