added that th the the I present outlook for tor heavy decrease In probable income and th the necessity necessity necessity sity to increase public works work and aid to employment does not warrant the

Inevitable Mr lr Hoover said FAVORS BALANCED BUDGET I am confident that tho sentiment senti ment mont of or the people is in favor of ot a balanced budget he ho said I 1 am equally confident that the

budget of or nearly ho added This large Jarge sum however is partially met by the application ap- ap ap up- of ot of Interest tnt rest on tho timo debt to 10 0 cut current rent expenditures and by ar- ar of or tho federal farm board In which th they re reduced their net cash demands on the by during this period These sums sunu together with tl ti th CC- CC economies econ econ- brought about In th

waa estimated In the budget at Mr dr 11 Hoover Hoo said It will probably bly be necessary for congress to appropriate al additional additional addi addi- mon money y for this fiscal year ear to Increase employment and antl provide drouth relief relict which will Increase the deficit above this amount I do not look Jook with great concern upon this moderate deficit for the current fiscal year th tile the pr president said laid In fact tact it amo amounts to less than 5 per cent of oe the total government s govern vern- vern ment expenditure The Tue adverse balance balanco can be met by reducing the general fund balance from the amount in n it Jt at the tho beginning of the car 3 supplemented if it necessary by ly temporary temporal borrowing by tho the treasur treas treas- ur ury When we recollect that our budget bud bud- get ot has hax yielded largo large surpluses for the last Jast eleven cloven y years cars which have ha enabled us to retire the public tU d debt ht In
