To make John Bulls hair stand on end
by ptcturing the new ministers as
economizing at the expense of his

The Daily Herald, the laborite news
paper, says the reduction will not be
more than about f2.500.000.
The army also is said to be threat
ened with a curtailment of it's eX-
pense account. Furthermore, accord
