SAESTRSIGT | WITHNEW PAYCLT go Mention Is Made of Levy on Beer in 1934 Budget Message. | 4 (Continued From Sixth Page) flons the estimate under the perma- nent appropriation for 1934 for inter- est on the public debt shows.an erease of $85,000,000 in excess of the appropriation for 1933. There is also an increase of $37,266,843 for public debt retirements from ordinary receipts, consisting of the cumulative sinking fund, additional sinking fund ire- ments to carry into effect the provisions of Section 308 of the Emergency Re- lief and Construction Act of 1932, re- ceipts from foreign Governments to be applied to debt retirements from franchise tex receipts from Federal Re- serve banks. l NATIONAL DEFENSE. ' Excluding all items of a non-military Rature the estimates of appropriations contained in this Budget for national defense under the War and Navy De- partments amount to $586,447,000 as| compaired with appropriations of $632,- | 466,000 for 1933, which indicates a de- | crease of $46,019,000. To obtain a| oper basis for comparison, however, ere should be deducted $16,996,000, which represents the deductions made in the 1934 estimates predicated upon & continuance during that fiscal year of certain provisions of the Economy Act. .@n this comparable basis the decrease $s slightly more than $29,000,000. et decrease is $18,215,000, which a large number of items and decrease. The principal lecrease is Army construction, $17,414,000 was appropriated 3 and for which no similar item . Construc- amount for modernization of bat- tleships. Offsetting these reductions, totaling $32,244,000, is an increase of ':zukfi:.!m for construction of new the same as provided for 1933, and an sverage of 13,600 enlisted men of ‘the Cinderella First Prize Answer is name of appli- ance in our window.

For construction of new vessels the 1934 estimates total $38,845,000. This | sum, together - with the amount of | $5,000,000 to be transferred to this ac- | count from the naval supply account | fund and an estimated balance of $9,525,000 to be carried over from 1933, will make available for 1934 a total of $53,380,000. This amount is ample to continue work at a normal rate of rogress on all vessels now under way, and, in addition, on one eight-inch cruiser to be laid down im January, | 1933, another, such cruiser to be laid cown in Jenuary, 1934, and four de- stroyers to be laid down in the first | half of the fiscal year 1934. The amount appropriated for 1933 for con- struction of new vessels was $18,-| 063,000, In addition, $7,000,000 was authorized to be transferred from other appropriations and a balance of $37,- 817,000 was carried over from 1932, making & total availability for 1933 of $62,880,000. . While the estimates for vessel- construction for 1934 are about $21,000,000 in excess of the -appropri- ation for 1933, the availability for 1934 will be some $9,500,000 less than the availability for 1933. 'This. difference is largely accounted for in the estimated savings due to the continuation of pro- visions of the 'Economy Act and the anticipated reduction in labor costs. Naval Employes Hit. The it schedule of wages for presen! per diem émployes of the Naval Estab- lishment has beeén in effect since Janu- ary 1, 1929. A provision of the Econ- omy Act prohibits a reduction in such wage rates during the fiscal year 1933. This provision is not recommended for continuation through 1934. A total decrease of $4,576,000 in the cost of national defense is reflected in this Budget by the inclusion in the Post Office Department chapter of a reneral provision suspending, for the fiscal year 1934, the re-enlistment al- lowance or “bonus” to enlisted men. There is certainly at this time no ne- cessity of the military service which justifies the payment of a cash bonus to men for re-enlisting in the service. Unexpended Balances. Following the policy which I have uniformly pursued and which has had the concurrence of the Congress, I am not recommending that the require- | ments for 1934 be met in part by a re- apprepriation or extension of the avail- ability of unexpended balances of appro- priations for the fiscal year 1933 except in those cases in which moneys appro- priated for a specific non-recurring pro- ject remain unexpended -and it is neces- sary to continue the availability of the funds for the same purpose or purposes for which originally appropriated. CONCLUSION. Notwithstanding the large reduction in expenditures estimated for the cur- rent fiscal year below those in-the fiscal year 1932 and the increased revenues anticipated during this year under the revenue laws enacted at the last session of Congress, a large excess of expendi- tures with consequent increase in the Salada ‘Salada tain srains.
