its object being to run 1,000000,00O

CHEERFUL OUTLOOK

THE HAGUE, Nov 5-Much com. ment has been caused in Holland by a speech of the new civilian war min ister, Bernard Cornelis de Jonge, in which he said that, if the country were to be properly defended after the war, Hollanders would have to recon. cilc themselves to a war budget of something like $24,OOO0OO instead of Sl2,0O0,0O0 as formerly. He is criti. cized for the lack of faith in the at tainment of the general reduction of armaments at the end of the war. Critics argue that, as Holland could never hope to successfully resist an attack by one of her big neighbors, she must confine herself to adequate preparations to defend her neutrality.
