President Harding today gave notice to tha world powers hero for the arms limita tion conference that if thlH groat Inter national parley falls he believe the l" nited States should expend more than 800,oou,u00 on Its urmy und navy during the year ending June 30, 1923. Submitting to congress the first na tional budget prepared by Uuriget Di rector Dawes, Harding estimated that tho nation's two arms' of defense should expend $801,656,107 In the fis cal year 1923 or more than three lines the pre-war appropriations of approximately, $250,000,0.1)0; ''The es(t-" mates, which were flamed without re gard for any limitation of armament that may result from the conference, are about $66,000,000 less than Is being expended this year. The president in this respect Is following his policy that the I'nlted States cannot make a big cut iu Its military und navul appro priations until all the powers definitely agree tn do likewise. M ho federal government during the year ending June 30, 11)23, will cost tho people of the I'nlted States ap proximately threo and a half billion dollars, Harding estimated. Although this amount Is about three times the cost of the federal gov ernment before the war, the President pointed out that the estimated expendt tores for the fiscal year of 1923 would lie $2,032,285,062.30 less than the pay ments from the federal purse for 1821, dining which year he assumed office. The HI23 expenditures, he said, would be $462,167,638 less than for the pres ent fiscal year of 1922. Harding submitted to congress esti mates of appropriations for tho fiscal year of 1923; and estimated expendi tures and receipts for the same period. Despite stringent economy, the gov ernment on the basis of estimates sub mitted will face a deficit of $167,571. 077 as the result of 1923 fiscal opera tions. Total receipts of the government during 1923 were estimated at $3,333, 182,750, wliilo expenditures, actual cash paid out of the treasury were placed at $3,505,754,727, Approprla tions asked for today total $3,801,113, 659.53, but this Includes $576,238,0611 In postal appropriations, which will lie paid from postal revenues. This leaves a net total of $3,224,875,595.53. The difference between this amount and the actual cash expenditure will bo made up by appropriations which continue from year to year. This year, the budget report shows, i tln federal government will expend 1 $3, 967, 922, 366, as compared with $5, I 538.040,689.30, last year. Receipts this 'year will be $3,943,453,663, leaving a deficit to start the new fiscal year of $24,468,703: while receipt lust year of $r,,24.!i:i2,960, exceeded expenditures by $86, 892. 271. 61.
