NEW YORK, June 5. Wall Street is sceptical about Washington's "claim to have balane- ed the Budget, according to the New York Evening Pust.
The Evening Post pointed out. that after allowing for President Beover's demand for a reduction of 2360,000,000, the Budget for 1033 wall mount 10 $4,000,000,000.
The total taxation "yield in the present scal your is expected to be under $2,000,000,000.
Assuming there in a similar yield in 1933, plus $1,119,000,000 provided in the supplementary Revenue. Bill, the total will be under $3,120,000.000, leaving" a deficit of $890,000,000.
As it seems inevitable that 'hddi- tional large sums will be appro- priated for public relief, Wall Strent expects the United States will be compelled to borrow between 81,300,000,000 and $2,500,000,000,
