Russia Provisional Budget Faces New Loan Clash
St Petersburg Jan 16. The 1907 provisional budget shows a deficit of 129.1 million dollars needing credit operations, prompting heavy criticism from the Bourse Gazette which claims a larger shortfall and faults the government for relying on alcohol revenues rather than boosting economic resources. It notes vodka revenue rising to 42 million more than 1906 while education funding remains only 2.75 million, urging harsh cuts elsewhere to reduce the loan. The article also mentions 1.5 million dollars for the Amur railroad segment from Stretinsk to Pokrovsk as a strategic need amid Far East tensions.
