TREASURY DECLARES
TAX PAYMENT SLUMP
DUE TO STRIKE WAVE

WASHINGTON, March 25.-U.D-
Treasury officials today attributed
a slump in tax payments this year
to reconversion layoffs, strikes and
end of the excess profits tax on
Jan. |.
Government income during the
first 81 days or March-when final
payments for 1915 were made
was 1912, 900, 900. This compared
to $4,31O, 1000, 900 during the CORES
ponding period last year.
Government expenditures for
the first three weeks of this month,
however, showed even a sharper
decline and for the second con-
isecutive month are running less
than income. The Treasury netted
a surplus of $37o,00o,OO0 for the
period. This compared with a ST.
1000, 1000, 900 deficit for the cores
ponding period last year.
