SEEK FURTHER REDUCTION
Japanese Budget Cut 100000 Yen
Not Satisfactory to Newspapers Who
Still See Extravaganza.

Toxic, Jan. 1.-THE budget to bt
introduced in the Diet provides for g
reduction of 100000 yen or ten pei
cent in the expenditure compared with
last year, but the japanese papers
appear not to be satisfied The Asahi
an influential independent organ, re-
grets that the budget should be $50
pronouncedly militaristic, for out of
the total estimated expenditure Of L.
100000 yen, military appropria
tons exceed 200,000,000 yen, while
naval costs amount to 276, 100000 yen,
these two items together representing
the substantial proportion of more
than IS per cent of the total.
1.-THE amount saved by the adjust
ment of military ornaments is said
to be 100000 yen. But even this
moderate sum will not be clear gain,
inasmuch as they are going to intro
duce supplementary budget asking
for an appropriation for retirement
allowances. The same tendency is to
be discerned in naval expenses. 1t Is
for this reason that the public has
been disappointed in the saving In
naval costs resulting from the Wash
ington agreement"
