U. S. Surplus Expected at 635 Million Dollars
Acting Secretary Mills indicated the treasury surplus for the year ending tonight will total about 635 million dollars, topping Mellon’s estimate by 10 million. He noted nonrecurring items inflate the figure, including back taxes and railroads payments, a 10 million dollar pigment credit on the French war debt, and 20 million that would have been spent if the second deficiency bill had passed. He favors applying the surplus to public debt reduction rather than tax cuts.
