The balance sheet for June 15 reflected for the first time the almost astronomical fiscal operations carried on by the treasury in ' connection with payment of the soldier bonus bonds. The statement disclosed an almost overnight jump of more than $1,500,000,000 in the government’s operating deficit for the 1936 fiscal year. At the same time Ute public debt mounted into new high ground and the government’s cash balance showed a sky-rocket increase.

Even so the balance statement wa3 delayed considerably beyond the usual hour.
