Washington, May 9.-4-Secretary Mellon
sees no Immediate prospect of lowering
the estimated deficit in government
finances for 1923 of approximately $140,
000,000 and gives the Impression of f ear
that the deficit may be Increased. '
" The secretary ' told this correspondent
that his recent estimate' waa based upon
every available item j of revenue that
could be counted upon, including the
possible payment of interest by the Brit
ish 1 government on its! war debt.
The inquiry waa prompted by rumors
of new sources of revenue or announced
taxation which might be counted upon to
wipe out the 1923 deficit, but the treas
ury anticipates nonej of these. This
means that the statement just issued by
Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget,
about which a general debate . has been
precipitated in congress, embraces only
the fiscal year 1922. In a nutshell. 1922
will show ray surplus of $45,000,000 or
thereabouts, but 1S23 will show a deficit
which some officials think may pass the
half billion dollar mark.
POLITICIANS. WANl THrSDF.E
The question is naturally asked why
the government bookkeepers . prefer a
surplus this year and: a big deficit next
year. The answer is to be found in the
demand of political members of congress
foe ammunition to use In the autumn
campaigns. They say j frankly that 1923
can take, care of itself that something
might happen to better, the situation
but that 1922 is to be considered as a
unit because the people will yote on the
past record rather than future possibili
ties, i -'k.j'': -:t - '-':
Considering 1922 s a unit, it is found
that t the surplus of $45,000,000 was ob
tained by postponing payment of practi
cally $100,000,000 which must be paid In
