Conspicuous Innovations of Powers In
Types of Wnrsliips Conrcls In
creased Cost for Japan.

Toxic Dec. 16.-The budget for 1911
1919. as finally completed, was an
nounced today as follows:
Receipts. ordinary. 392, 1875 600 yen; ex-
traordinary, As, 796,973: expenditures, or
binary, 4oIns,274; extraordinary, 49,
S2l,699. "A yen is equivalent to about 50
cents in American money
Marquis Katsura, premier and minis
ter of finance, takes hopeful view of
the situation. He says that the affairs
of the current year and the financial
program have worked well. This pro-
gram will be continued During the
year past the government has had a
particularly heavy burden to carry. The
navy has called for an increased ex-
oenditurc in order to avoid the criticism
of neglect in the face of the advances
made by other powers. The annexa-
ton of Korea and disastrous floods
have added materially to the eNtraor-
binary expenses.
Marquis Katsura lays down these
two rules ms effective In directing the
policy of the government:
First, to maintain the balance of
revenue and expenditure In the general
estimates. and not to look to loans as
financial resources.
Second. to maintain the program of
annual redemption of the public debt
by an amount OF $4,000, 000 yen or more.
He says the government has commit
ted itself to these principles In the
next six years S2.000.000 yen will be
spent in experimenting and Improving
the navy. Fifteen millions Is appropri-
atcd for the next fiscal year.
CONSPICUOUS INNoyATIoNs.3
The minister says that the "conspicu-
Gus Innovations. adopted by other pow
crs in the types of their warships has
made 1t necessary for Japan to some
what increase Its naval expenditures,
not because of any danger arising from
differences with other countries but be-
cause the navy of,Japan, while not en-
deavcring to compete with or surpass
to a modern standard. incidentally the
minister states that Japan's relations
with other governments are most ans
icable. i
Next years estimate for railways Is
nearly $1,000, 900 yen. This amount is
required, the premier says, because of
INSTRUMENTATION of the gov eminent 10

mencins next year the reconstruction
Of the main line into broad gage road
will be undertaken. A loan for this
purpose probably will be raised but tt
Will be in the nature of a special ac-
count for which the railroads will be
responsible The time and place OF
raising this loan will depend wholly
upon economic conditions at home ana
abroad.
