If budget, balancing hopes now being ex pressed by statesmen were dollars. or even dimes, tha treasury would have a surplus next year. Basically, however, there Is nothing cheaper than the cur rent budget hopes. Everyone Is having them without cost. P o r Instance, C h a 1 rman Bu chanan of the r.lLL .MAIXO.N .house appropria tions committee has attracted major attention with his plan to cut down expenditures In a really effective way. Mr. Buchanan Is entirely sin ters. The "devil of a fight" he has promised will undoubtedly be made by him. But what Mr. Buchanan could t K evnected to point out 1 that there Is not devil of sn In side chance he will ft anywhere. In fact, hla close associates know he suffers no personal Illusions about the current situation. Be has told them privately he Is very doubt ful Whether hla plan can be carried out. The underlying situation Is sim ply this: Mr. Buchanan did not get much ncouragement 'during his recent visit to President Roosevelt's cot tage at Warm Springs. The budget which New Deal Budget-Maker Bell took down there did not come down to any fig ures approximating the Buchanan Idea. Also, there are reasons for suspecting that Mr. Roosevelt flatly told Mr. Buchanan It would be Im possible to bring the budget within (400.000.000 of balancing, even with relief appropriations left over from this year. Anyone who knows anything about eongTess realizes a majority will want to spend more than Mr. Roose velt rather than less, especially as this la a campaign year. Tou can Imagine what will happen when the telegrams and letters demanding sewers or sewing machines come jvwrlng In from bark home. Mr. Buchanan talked to a number of members last summer about what was In his mind. Many pledged support. All Mr. Buchanan can do Is to "hope" he can get enough back ing to have some Indirect effect, and he probably will. While he is hoping, he also hopes that he and the president can yet get together. A significant fact between the lines of Mr. Roosevelt's Atlanta (Continued on Page Pour.)
