FEDERAL DEFICIT SEEN

DECLARED IIKIIII.V POSSIBLE
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24 The No
vember business Index, which the fed
eral reserve board Is now compiling
for December release, will show that,
In the last twelve weeks, business has
lost virtually Its entire gain since
September, 1935. Unofficial but ex
cellent estimates are that the Index
will be several points below 100, and
possibly below 05.
Those unpleasant facts bring more
sharply Into focus the depressing pic
ture of the future which everyone
has already vaguely but foreboding
ly discerned. And they make It al
most certain that one of the darkest
areas In the whole cheerless pano
rama Is the future of federal finance.
The unpleasant truth Is that, unless
the Almighty Interposes a special act
of providence In favor of his own
country, the net deficit, Instead of
being Just under e.70,000,000, as It was
last predicted by the White House,
will go well over 1,000,000,000.
Already, at . the treasury deport
ment, the somewhat chastened ex
perts are privately facing the unpal
atable facta. They realize that, li the
budget to be presented In January
is to give a truthful resume of the
actual state of affairs, the estimates
of prospective revenues will have to
be pared, and the estimates of pros
pective expenditures handsomely In
creased. Being budget-balancers al
most to a man. the treasury financ
ial experts are about as happy at the
moment as so many cats on a grid
dle, getting hotter every day.
The chief threat of Increased ex
penditures Is the obvious one. In
creased unemployment. Complete Ilg
ures are not yet available, but from
all sections of the country comes
word of plants closed or closing, bus
iness evaporating. 10 and 20 and even
30 per cent below the level of last
year, and order books blank for the
future. The most optimistic proph
ets In the WPA and other agencies
which have to do with the problem
believe that the winter recruitment
to the rank of the Jobless will be
1.000.000 above seasonal.
m Obviously, someone Is going to have
r to feed the extra Americans who will
be left without ordinary means of
support. The ouly candidate for the
Job appears to bo the WPA, for the
states and cities are up to their necks
in relief already and unable to do
moru than they are doing now.
The WPA'a present funds are en
tirely Inadequate to take care of a
depression total of unemployed. The
1.500,000.000 which congress i?ave
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins last

supposed by law' to do, only If no

EDISON COMPANY
CHIEF ANNOUNCES
EXPANSION PLANS
I e
Company to Expend $100,-
000,000 Within Next Two
rears, Announced After
White House Conference
WASHINGTON, Nov. 34. (AP
Floyd L. Carlisle, chairman of the
Consolidated Edison congpany, report
ed after a White House conference to
day he was In substantial agreement
. with President Roosevelt's power
views and his company expected to
cooperate In the new construction
program by spending 9100.000,000 In
the next two years.
Carlisle gave added Indications of
progress in the president's efforts to
get private power utilities to meet
what Mr. Roosevelt calls a crying
need for expansion of that Industry
to help the general business situa
tion. Fears Lessened.
"I think the fears of government
competition are very much lessened
by the discussions that have taken
place," Carlisle told newsmen as he
left a conference with the president.
"I am not In dissent from the presi
dent's general views In reference to
the bals of rate-making. I am go
ing back to New York with a study
of the possibilities of Increased expan
sion we can make In connection with
the new national housing program.
I expect this will be very substantial
In nature.
"Wo are going ahead with expan
sion of generation and distribution
and I am confident there will be mar
kets for power to absorb that ex
pansion,." Progress Seen.
Mr. Roosevelt said late yesterday
that his conversation with President
Wendell L. Winkle of the Common
wealth and Southern corporation had
resulted In distinct progress toward
settling differences between the gov
ernment and private power Interests.
Wlllklc's firm had split earlier this
year with the Tennessee Valley Au
thority over a contract arranging for
private and public power agencies to
operate side by aide.
Yesterday's conversation, as outlin
ed by the president to reporters, gave
assurance to private Interests that
federal power output In he future
would hold to about the same pro
portion some 10 percent which It
now has to total production.
Tills assurance was Interpreted In
some quarters as a bid for the pri
vate utilities to proceed with a huge
const met I on program. Some officials
have said more than $2,000,000,000
expansion work has been delayed by
fear of further government competi

ent Recession Merely
Pause Before Another
CHmb; Recovery in 1938
Br DAVID J. WILKIK.
DETROIT, IWrv. 24. (AP) Henry
Ford, in an interview today, said
that the present business recession
Is "temporary and artificial."
"No one," he said, "need look at
next year with any uncertainty. The
present slow-down Is not a set-back;
It's the pause before another climb.
Two things helped to bring It on
Just now and one of them was tne
uncertainty of business regarding po
litical Interference, but congress is
taking care of that. The other was
the stock market fluctuation.
Discounts Market.
"Everybody knows the stock mar
ket has no permanent effect on busi
ness, but It does have an effect on
tho state of mind of the American
business man who plays the market.
He often mistakes his personal de
pression for a business depression.
The stock market has no more real
effect on American business than
the results of a dog race In Cali
fornia." A contributing factor to the pres
ent "pause," Ford said , has been
the fact that money too long has
been a "principal commodity ot
commerce."
"Money," he said, "has become a
business In Itself Instead of an ad
junct to business. Money Is not
wealth; wealth la what money buys.
But that has been turned upside
down. The present system has got
ua twisted Into producing things to
buy dollars " with, when what we
need Is a money system that will
produce dollars to buy goods with.
Under the present system the tail
wags the dog. Money Is Just part of
sooiety's transportation system for
moving goods from man to man; it
breaks down so often that It la time
our financial engineers developed a,
better model."
System Out of Date,
The present money system as ex- j
empllfled by those "who manipulate,
It for profit," Ford said. Is entirely
out of date, and Is In large meas
ure responsible for recurring busi
ness recessions. "It Is a system that
seeks to control labor; wants to con
trol government, finance, food, in
dustry and even the schools. It mani
fests an avarlclousness that would
control everything."

overnight panacea for what ho term

Two Proposals Reported
Discussed by Administra
tion and Congress Heads
Say Action Up to House
WASHINGTON. Nov. 34. (AP)
Administration offclals talked with
congressional leaders today on the
possibility of some quick, action to
assure business of an eased tax bur
den. Chairman Harrison, of the senate
finance committee, who up to this
morning was insistent that nothing
could be done Immediately on the tax
question, conferred with Marrlnei S.
Eccles, chairman of the federal re
serve board, and later with treasury
officials.
There were reports that two pro
posals were discussed:
One A simultaneous announce
ment from President Roosevelt and
congressonal leaders that business
taxes would be revised.
Second Quick action this session
on the bill being framed by a house
tax subcommittee to modify the cor
porate surpua tax.
Harrison said that the poaslbllty
of action at the present special con
gressional session, depended upon the
house.
Asserting that he favored quick re
vision of the corporate taxes, he said
his senate committee would work
speedily once a measure was approv
ed at the other end of the capltol.
In some congressional quarters
there was discussion of the possibil
ity of speeding action on that part
of the tax revision tentatively ap
proved by the houso tubcommlttee,
without waiting for completion of
the bill on which the subcommittee
Is working, dealing with other phases
of taxation.
The tax subcommittee yesterday
approved tentatively a substitute for
the bitterly criticized corporate sur
plus tax law, which would leave only
a trace of the theory of taxing undis
tributed profits.
The same subcommittee already
has worked out a tentative proposal
to ease the capital gains and losses
tax, also the object of business criti
cism. The house subcommittee, however,
worked this morning on levies other
than on corporations.
While the tax subcommittee sur
veyed "nuisance taxes" (hose on
movies, cosmetics and the like tho

mitteeman say the ponding farm bill
waa constitutional.
