Finance Minister Takahashi
Trying to Cut Down Next
Years Government
Appropriations.
SMALLER NAVY FAVORED
Great Cry Raised Against All
Suggestions That Educat-
ional Budget Be
Reduced.
By CLARENCE Dusosr

United Press STAFF Correspondenf.)
Toxic tBy Mail.)--The japanese peo-
pie are roofing for the watchdog Of the
treasury.
They are pretty well fed up on high
living costs coupled with constantly stiff
fening taxation.
! Finance Minister Takahashi has been
trying to trim the budget Of next years
government appropriations, and if he
puts it over. he'll probably be. the most
popular person in all these parts.
The average coolie may not know an
awful lot about International affairs,
He's hazy regarding the zap cable and
the open door in China and the naval
aspect of Guam. But he has hunch,
gained from the popular press, that it
would cost him less for living if the gov.
eminent spent less money on the army
and navy.
The same papers tell him that if the
Washington Conference succeeds the
government can spend less for. the army
and navy. Whereupon he emits lust,
-Banzaii" for the Washington Confer
ence.
In every grade OF society 1.-THE senti
ment is the same. For weeks the ofi
cials have been wrestling with esti
mates. and, at present. have made re
duction of about s7O,OOO.OOO in mex
years budget. as compared with the pres
eni. However, that is only on paper 70
the present. and there will be other revl
sions before the budget is finally pre-
, pared and presented to the Diet.
The tentative budgets fol. the next HI
cal year have been made upon basi
of continuation Of the eight-eight nav;
8 reconstruction program and also continue
I maintenance Of the. expeditionary for
es in Siberia. The hope is, howeve
that these proposed expenditures will nj

A great hue and cry has been rals

newspapers hoped into the ring a
howled. They declared that OF all thin
