WASHINGTON, Jan. L President
Roosevelt said In his budget message
that he was $1,294,000,000 off In his
budget last year. He overestimated
his expenditures
b y $875,000,000
and underesti
mated his re
ceipts by $419,
000.000. Moat compe
t e n t authorities
here believe the
current f 1 g ures
are een less In
dlcatlve of what
the government
s-Wi spend next year,
v . .MALLON Therein Ilea the
story behind current natural bud
getlng. It la that no nation has i
real budget any more. Necessity or
convenience prevents It.
The Roosevelt technique of the
past two years has been recognized
by all budgeteers. The president has
asked congress for far more money
than he Intended to spend. Insiders
say he had only one purpose. If the
economic bottom fell out again, he
wanted to be In a position to cut
plenty of money.
However, he got authority while
be was at It to spend the leftovei
amounts In ensuing years.
Thus, Mr. Roosevelt now is attll
spending money appropriated oy
congresa three years ago, and carried
In the budget then. Thus, he will
spend next year whatever Is left from
last year's four billion, and the three
billion of the previous year.
These leftover amounts are au
thorizations, not money. If utilized,
the treasury must go out and bor
jrow the money for them.
Hence, the relationship between
the expenditures, debt and deficit Is
as much a matter of executive leeway
as of budgetary determination.
Saddest untold tale of the old year
la the one about the building ma
terials firm seeking government con
tracts. The firm was new to the ways ot
Washington. It wanted to get a good
contact man here to deal with the
government. The name of a promi
nent democratic lawyer was suggest
ed. Firm members came here, called
the lawyer on the telephone, went to
ee him. They agreed upon a lee, ana
the lawyer undertook to aid them in
getting the contracts.
It was some time later that the
llrm discovered a grlevoua error. It
had hired a republican lawyer by mis
take. His last name was Identical
with that of the prominent demo
cratlc attorney, but their given names
(apparently, also, their contacts)
were different.
The republican lawyer is now
threatening suit for his fee.
The house has unofficially chosen
Representative Knutson of Minnesota
as Jeer leader. He has a long record
of distinction In that line.
It was he who led the chorus of
guffaws which you may have heard
over the radio near the end of Mr.
Roosevelt's message-speech. Three or
four comrades Joined In. but no more
than that.
Calmer republican leaders tried to

Hope for New Measures
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (AP) The
treasury tonight advised commercial
banks of the nation that all AAA
checks outstanding are good and may
be cashed.
Theasury officials said there was
no Intention of trying to repudiate
any outstanding AAA checks.
The information was conveyed to
commercial banka through the 12 re
gional federal reserve banka.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. (API-
Farm leaders were summoned by the
New Deal today to confer on shaping
a program to replace the smashed
AAA.
Secretary Wallace Issued the call
for January 10 and 11 after the pon
derous AAA field machinery was
brought to a full stop by the 6 to S
supreme court decision which demol
ished the AAA.
Wallace's brief announcement, first
formal comment on the supreme
court's decision:
"Leaders of farm organizations, and
otfier agricultural spokesmen from
different parts of the country were
Invited to Washington by Secretary
Wallace today to discuss plans for
agriculture in the light of the su
preme court'a decision In the Hoosac
Mills case.
Seventy Invited
'The conference was announced to
day following consultation by Secre- 1
tary Wallace and Administrator
Chester C. Davis with executives of
national farm organizations. It is lo
be held in Washington on Friday and
Saturday. Jan. 10 and 11.
"About seventy thus far have been
Invited."
AAA officials declined to amplify
the statement.
Already a farm meeting had been
planned for next week.
Sponsors of the meeting said 3,
000.000 farmers will be represented
by leaders of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation, the National Grange
the National Cooperative Council,
the Farmers National Grain Corpor
ation and the American Agricultural
Editors association, coming to meet
as the National Agricultural confer
ence. While many New Dealers worried
over how much more of President
Roosevelt's program was as good as
dead through the same supreme court
reasoning that levelled AAA, legisla
tors Interested In the farm problem
were busy.
Farm Program Aim
Chairman Jones (D-Tex.) of the
house agriculture committee said an
"effort should be made" to find "a
constitutional method of putting all
our citizens on an equal footing."
Representative Snell, the republi
can leader, said his party would seek
to present a farm program.
The possibility of adding as much
as $800,000,000 to the budget appro
priation estimates to allow the gov
ernment to meet existing contracts
with farmers was seen by Chairman
Buchanan (D-Tex.) of the house ap
propriations committee. The AAA
had estimated $283,000,000 would be
needed to meet performance up to !
yesterday. Buchanan said he thought
the government was morally obligat
ed to fulfill all contracts.
At the White House. President
Roosevelt continued silent about the
mome n tous 6 to 8 dec I si on wh lch
tumbled his crop adjustment pro
gram. It was said the chief executive
! was not likely to comment at a later
( pro as conference on the decision
; which presents the problem of form
l ulatlng an entirely new agricultural
plan.
Nor was It believed llkelv Mr.
Roosevelt would mention the s''hject
In his address tomorrow night to
democrat a assembled throughout 'he
country at Jackson day dinners. A
longer wait was Indicated.
Proposals Vague
Most proposals for an AAA substi
tute were vague. Snell aatd more
time was needed although republi
cans realized farm purchasing power
"must be maintained because It Is of
vital Importance to the country."
Jones, who conferred with Mr.
Roosevelt yesterday, said :
"I cannot believe the supreme
court means to say that a national
tariff is legal at.d that a national
farm program which merely restores
the price balance cannot be made
leral.
"I can not believe it is mant that
the cotton farmers and the producers
of other world market crops must
purchase their supplies in a htghr
priced protected market, and that
there Is no constitutional means by
which they may be given an even
brak.
