WASHINGTON, Dec. S. 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
