eral welfare of the country should
be the guiding principle" IN
determining whether the Federal
budget should be balanced, show
surplus, or a deficit for any
given period. It is not feasible, he
said at that time, to formulate
automatic guides" for the Gov
ernment's taxing spending poll
cieS.
High Income Level Cited.
Speaking of the current situa-
ton, he said in today's statement:
"It seems to me, however, that
in times as prosperous as these
we should have a balanced budget.
National income today is close to
the highest level in our history,
and, by every standard Of sound
Government finance, the time to
have a balanced budget Is now"
President Truman predicted a
month ago that the Government
faces a deficit Of $500, 100000 at
the end of the current fiscal year
next June. with expenditures run
ming to 100000 and re-
ceipts of about $4,000, 100000.
The President has told his press
conferences he knows of no way
to meet a deficit except with new
taxes.
Blames Tax Reduction.
Mr.. Snyder blamed a $5,000,-
100000 tax cut voted last year by
the Republican-controlled 80th
Congress-over Mr.. Truman's veto
for the $1,000, 100000 deficit Of
fiscal 1949, ended last June 80,
and the prospect Of a three-times
greater one this fiscal year.
His statement today recalled his
great satisfaction at budget sur
pluses in fiscal 1947-when he be-
came Treasury Secretary-and
fiscal 1948, the latter an unpre-
cedented ss,400.0 100000 surplus of
income over expenditures.
I'm the past three years." it
added, II have restated the ur-
gent need for an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures on many
occasions-notably when the Con-
gress was considering tax-reduc-
ton measures in 1947 and 1948."
The National Association of
Manufacturers at yesterdays ses-
sion took the position that the
budget should be balanced every
year. except in wartime or when
there is some other national
emergency.

The goal of a $50, SOC. 900, 900
budget they outlined goes beyond
the target OF an ardent economy
advocate, Senator Douglas. Sem
ator Douglas said he has serious
doubts" the $1,000, 600, 900 reduc-
ton proposed by NAM could be
achieved. He added that he pre-

The Star reporter interrupted:
"Mr. Secretary. weren't you call
