navy has plans for two new flight
squadrons. The British admiralty
program calls for construction imme-
diately of four new cruisers, nine de-
stroyers, one aircraft carrier and sew
eral submarines The admiralty's ex-
penditures in 1884 will exceed last
and air force budgets also show large
increases. Altogether, Britain's appro-
priation for national defense this
year will be greater than any in the
past seven years.
Looking into the future (after De-
cember 81, 1886. when the London
naval treaty expires, the Daily Herald
reveals that the admiralty envisages
program calling for twenty-five
25,000-ton battle cruisers mounting
12-inch guns.
Japan, whose running amuck in
Manuchuria did as much as anything
to precipitate the present chaotic
armaments situation by encouraging
Germany and Italy to pooh-pooh the
sanctity Of their covenant pledges, is
literally staggering under the weight
of her military expenditures. Tokios
1934-5 budget calls for the heaviest
armaments peacetime program in her
history. More than A per cent of
the budget is earmarked for naval and
military purposes. With the total
budget around 2.112,00O,0O0 yen, a
deficit of more than three-quarter-
billion yen is inevitable. Last years
deficit was around 1,027 900, 900 yen
and the previous year showed equally
unfavorable returns. Finance Min
lister Korekiyo Takahashi expects to
meet the situation by internal bor-
rowing" Mussolini resorted to the
same tactics-and got by for seven
years-but reached the end of his
rope in 1888.
Italy Forced to Reduce.
Among the European countries.
Italy alone is reducing her military
expenditures this year, but it Is not
because II Duce wants %. He has
no alternative. Forced borrowing
might have been continued jndefi-
nitely had not the economic dep: es-
sion intervened. Officially, Rome
announces tnat the FaSciStS are
spending 28o ,O00, 900 lire less this year
on her naval establishment than last
year. The Italian treasury deficit is
given as 245, 5,0000 for the year, but
qualified authorities belle ye it will 20

France, whose entire nudget will
exceed 10000, 100000 francs, faces an

amount. In both Italy and France.

example of their policy is illustrated
by the fact that not single official

conference which is not titled Con-

to occur. although the conference
itself decided that its job was to draft
a treaty for Reduction and Limita-
