Sept. 28 President Roosevelt has not yet begun to play some of the high cards In his cam paign aleeve. Me Is not advertis ing them, even to all his political Intimates. Some who have seen him with his coat off lately, however, have had a swift , 3 glanco at an ace incj aid not suspect was In the " deck. You may not believe It either when you see It played some time before election. Incredible as It soundb. It lb a balanced budget tor next year. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau has said there would be no news on the budget before November 3,. but he may not have known, or cared to discuss, what Is going on now In budget-making. Acting Budget Di rector Bell has made no announce ments, but he has been working for some months on estimates. There are Rood reasons for believing tliat he cr.n now produce figures Indicating an approximate balance, baaed as much on expectations of Increasing . revenue asipon a decrease In expen ditures. His work has progressed so far that one of tho leading bond market ad visory services sent-to Us banker .clients a few days ago the confiden tial suggestion that "a balanced 1938 budget la a reasonable expectation." The budget figures relate to such fur distant economic conditions that they aro difficult lor the government actuaries to calculate, but there Is nothing to stop them from taking an optimistic view. It la almost Impos sible to guess accurately the extent to which better business will boost tax receipt for the year beginning wxt July 1. now nine months off. It la equally difficult to calculate relief demands. But the law requires a budget to be submitted to congress In January, and it will be possible for the president to offer rather def inite guesses before Nov. 3 If he chooses. Some unofficial expert used a pencil on the problem the other day and came out with only 1300,000.000 deficit for 1938 by cutting relief one third. Increasing revenues 13 per cent, deducting the bonua expenditure of the current year and neglecting to consider the probable heavy require ments of social security. Beyond these consideration la the broad f:eld of recoverable government assets which have been used this year to help In cutting the deficit- In half, without decreasing spending. Thus, It can he done, and It prob ably will be. The criticism most frequently made of tho New Deal by the New Dealers la that Mr. Roosevelt allows his associates to make rash and reck lias statements which pop Into their extensive crania. As Mr. Hoosevelt la ao liberal with Ms help, probably no action will be tiken against Comptroller of the Currency O'Connor for his last great namble with fate. Mr. O'Connor mado the statement that, If no banks failed within the ensuing two weeks, he would take the air on a national hookup September 30 and announce that the first year of American his tory had passed without a bank fail ure. The reckless, chance which Mr. O'Connor took may be gauged accur ately by a fact he failed to mention, namely lhat he Is the only man who can close the banks. While he could hardly be expec"1 10 ruln hu own record In the last two weeks of Sep tember, jou must consider the har ard that he might die and Mr. Roose velt might appoint another comptrol ler who would close a bank. That la the only way It could happen. If Mr. O'Connor keeps hi health three more days, and makes his broadcast, you may expect some heckler to ask how many weak banks h ta carrying In his pocket, or how many should have been closed which still remain open. Some people who know Prof. Tug well have mentioned In private that Agriculture Secretary Wallsce may eventually become president of the University of Wisconsin. Newsmen thought they had something In that ice, until they approached people no know Wallace. Ills friends aald they were fairly sure Wallace would not leave hla government Joq, but that they had heard the story men tioned In respect to Tugwell. I S&&L Continued on Page 6.x.)
