Havana, Cuba, Aug. 12. —(AP) —The Cuban State Department today formal ly advised the diplomatic corps that President Machado will take a leave of absence, and that it is the Presi dent’s purpose later to resign. The department’s communication said that Orestes Ferrera, secretary of state, had previously resigned, but was continuing, and that the depait ment vjould attend to routine matteis until Ferrera’s successor should be ap pointed. The resignation of the secretary of State, as well as the President, was part of the American peace plan, in order to permit the appointment of a new secretary of state acceptable to all factions, yho would succeed to the highest office. It was learned from authentic but unofficial sources that the resigna tions of all of the cabinet secretaries had been presented. The president's decision to retire from office followed closeh on a bloodless coup d’etat by the army la-:t night, in which military units s**i;ed fortresses and c'her strategic, points in Havana and demanded that Ma chado get out.

It has been expected for many weeks that the ac tulal deficit would amount to very nearly 4>i5,000,000. The most interesting part of the re port issued by Director Dunlap is, hence, that there is a possibility that the State may collect enough revenue during the next two years to amass a surplus of almost $15,000,000 and Ihus virtually offset the deficit of $15,000,000 that has accrued during the past two years. Most of this de ficit, however, will soon be paid off by means of funding bonds. Iri this connection, it is important to note, that during the last two years of the administration of former Gover nor O. Max Gardner, or the biennium that ended June 30, 1933, savings af fected by the governor and Budget Bureau amounted to $5,185800. If it had not been for these savings brought about by reductions in sal aries an din all appropriations on down the line, the present deficit for this biennium would have amounted to more than $20,000,000 instead of slightly less than $15,000,000. In the bi ennium preceding this, for the years 1929-31 the total savings by Governor Gardner amounted to $3,661,200. Thus through the power given him under the executive budget act, Governor Gardner prevented the expenditure of $8,747,000 that otherwise would have been expended and held the deficit down to $15,000000, in stsad of the $23,700,000 it would have amounted to but for reductions in expenditures made under the Budget Act. Cuts May Be Avoided. If the revenues exceed the estimates for the next two years, as now seems likely, Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus will be sparec the necessity to reduce appropiiations and allotments, as for mer Governor Gardner was compelled to do and he may be able to increase them somwhat. But if the expected increase do not materialize he will be compelled, as was Governor Gardner to use the pruning knife and reduce appropriations still more. The indicated general fund surplus for the piesent fiscal year, according to the figures just made public by Budgetear Dunlap, is $1,641,710 and for the fiscal year of 1934-35 is $2,197 770 or a total of $3,839,480 for the biennium ending June 30, 1935. The estimated surplus in the righway fund, derived entirely from the tax on gasoline and the sale of automo bile licenses and titles, is much lar ger. It is fixed at $8,026,282 for the ipresent fiscal year ending June 30, 1934 and $11,002,744 by the end of the next fiscal year on June 30, 1933. Pre sent figures show a surplus of $6,- .679,369 in the highway fund as of June 30, 1933 and (this is expected to grow at the rate of from $2,000,000 a year so rthe next two years, provided the sale of gasoline and automobiles keeps up at its present rate. Two much stock cannot be placed in these estimates, however, since the indicated yields of revenue for both the genial and highway funds are still highly speculative, Budgeteer Dunlap points out.

But if con ditions should slip back only slightly they are/likely to prove excessive, Dunlap /agrees. An. Unknown Factor. “It remembered that the es timates 0 expected in the general fund during the next two years are based almost entirely upon or as yet unknown factor— ♦ he revenue yield from the three-par cent general sale's tax,” Dunlap said today. “We be lieve that our estimate that, the sales tax ; will yield $7,700,000 this fiscal year and $8,400,000 fair the year ending June 30. 193?, is conservative. It may yield considerably more.

CHURCH SOCIETIES ANNOUNCEMENTS Borrowings Victory Os Ehringhaus ?Contir,ued from Page One.) it is much botte rto borrow whatever money th e State needs wfthi n the State, and thus keep the interest paid 'here jn ido the State where it will help (local institutions, rather than send it New York, where it would become lost to the State forever. It is also •believed that, now since the North ’Carolina banks have agreed to lend' •money to the State at 4 1.2 per cent, the New York banks will soon folliolw su t. knowing that if they do not they will lose mo l, if not all, of this State’s business. The negotiations which . Governor Ehrmgha.us and State Treasurer Charles M. Johnson have' been carry ing on with the North Carolina and New i hrk bankers for a lower mter eet rate on North Carolina borrow ings. has already resulted in a sav. ing mi interest alone of more than $150,000 a year, it ,i s pointed out.
