Answer to yesterday's puzzle:
HEAVY U.S. BUDGET DEFICIT DISCLOSED
Washington, To-day.
A deficit of 3,984 million dollars the forecast for the fiscal year that began on July 1st.
In the revised budget estimates issued, President Rossevelt explain- -ed that the estimates issued in January were based on the hope of a decided improvement in business, which not only did not improve, but gradually grew worse.
The expenditure, estimated at 8,985 million dollars, would set a -peace-time-record,-while-the-gross deficit, estimated at 4,084 million dollars, was the second largest de- ficit since the World War,”/
President Roosevelt calculated that Congress would probably have to appropriate 500 million dollars more for the Works Progress ad- ministration.
DEFENCE COSTS
The President expected the de- cline of business to make inroads into very important branch of the' Treasury's revenue total, the re- venue probably falling from 6,241 million dollars last year, to 5,000 million dollars for the coming year, and the President estimated that defence coats would rise by 76 million dollars to a new post-war record of 1,050 million dollars.

Owing to the Treasury's cásh balance as a result of gold sterilisation and other causes, Pre sident Roosevelt advanced - the opinion that it would only be neces- sary to borrow about 2,805 million dollars to finance the deficit. Reu
