S HOPE FOR
BRfTISHTAX CUT
Feeling That Increase in De
fense Expense Is Inevit
able Clouds Otherwise
Rosy Picture for Year
By Oscar Leldlng
LONDON ( AP ) The ahadow of
dlKKtmament trouble is casting gloom
on a picture otnerwlse streaked with
rays of sunshine aa John Bull pores
over the estimates for next year's
budget.
The tax payer's hopes for at least
small cut In his heavy burden, on
the strength of a substantial surplus
built up In the current financial year,
are held from soaring by the feeling
that an Increase In the defense eatl
mt'.'ss is inevitable.
Surplus No lteilef
That there will be a surplus has
already been announced by Neville
ChamberlaJn, chancellor of the ex
chequer. Revenue is running about
(50,000,000 more than at the same
time last year, while ordinary expen
diture shows a decrease equivalent to
snore than 250 000,000.
Under the existing law, however,
any surplus realized by the end of
the financial year on March 31 must
be applied to the redemption of debt.
Die surplus that Intimately concerns
the tax payer and the economy vic
tims, therefore Is not the realized
' surplus of the current financial year,
but the prospective surplus of tho
following year. !
Estimates of expenditures for next
year are now being prepared by the
government departments, but the fig'
ures will not be ready for the cabinet
until the end of January or early In
February.
Adjustments In Spring
It la considered probable that the
estimates will be framed on the as
sumption of a continuance In the
new fiscal year of the economy forced
upon the country by the financial
emergency In 1931.
There will be no difficulty, however
In making adjustments after the esti
mates have been Introduced In par
liament If, next spring, the revenue
outlook should present an opportu
nity for restoring some of the "cuts."
Increases In the estimates are ex
pected from several departments, In
cluding the navy and the air force.
An addition 'of four aviation squad
rons Is considered likely, while re
placement construction tn tho navy
vlll be more expensive.
Civil Activities Grow
Parliament was warned last spring
that tho current estimates were the
low-water mark of naval expenditure
If the fleet was to be maintained at
the existing standard of efficiency.
Now the clouded disarmament situ
ation has led to an energetic drive In
many quarters for building up the
navy and the air force.
Some of the civil departments also
are expected to require larger appro
priations because of the natural
growth of their services. No large
economies are In sight; the financial
emergency claimed all those long ago.
The general revenue situation how
aver, la believed to be more' than
equal to the sum total of the In
creases In the departmental estimates.
But that balance won't help the taxpayer.

culture committee laid plan to Intro
duce a bill to prohibit government
cotton crop prediction, which he In
sists do not truly reflect the crop's
condition and which "disturb" the
market. '

developments more material for re
flection. Including:
The FWA continued to allot mil
lions for Job-making construction, set.
ting aside almost 98,000,000 for 63
non-federal projects In 33 states.
It became apparent that the ad
ministration will make no effort to
extend the life of the Hawes-Cutting
Philippine Independence bill, which
expires today, but It will hold the
opinion this legislation can always
be revived.
See No Money War.
Treasury officials said they foresaw
no money war between the United
States and Great Britain, but to the
contrary considered the prospect was
lor both nations to go along on some
thing like the existing ratio between
their currencies.
The federal surplus relief corpora
tion purchased 1,052,000 cotton blan
kets from 13 companies operating
cotton mills in New England and
the south.
Justice department officials decided
that work of cleaning up prohibition
cases should be centralized In Wash
ington. Ralph Pulitzer, of the newspaper
publishing family, was named a
deputy administrator 0f NRA, to have
charge of the newspaper and allied
codes when they are approved.

BIGGER FAIR IN
1934 THAN 1933
SAY CHICAGOANS
CHICAGO ('UP) An Increase In
concessionaires., and concession ex
penditures which will triple the em
ployment of "A Century of Progress"
for 1S34 as compared with the 1033
fair waa predicted today by fair of
ficials. The prediction was based on con
tracts already signed and on negotia
tions pending with concessionaries
who had shows last summer and
those seeking coscesslons for next
year.
"We have figured It out," an official
said, "that three times as much
money will be spent by concession
aires In improving and beautifying
their concessions, or in putting up
new buildings at the 1934 fair as was
the case at last summer's fair. That
means more Jobs and more money In
circulation."
Seventeen contracts, most of them
renewals, have been signed, and 67
are In process of negotiation. A total
of 9110,000 In down payments has
been received from the 17 signers.
This money win be held in escrow
until proper legislation has been
passed by the state legislature and
the Chicago South Park Board, en
abling the fair to receive It.
. Officials said that most new con
cessions will be in the field of enter
tainment, with more restaurants and
eating places offering music and floor
shows than prevailed last summer.
