NJ the Associated Press.

~ the Associateo FfesS.
ROME. Jan. 20-Premier Musso-
linis cabinet today approved a war
swollen budget of about $1,745, ,000,-
900 for the l940-41 fiscal year, with
more than $542 900 900, or 81 per
cent. to be spent on the armed
forces.
The government cited the dam
ger OF the current European war
spreading to Italy as jAstifying the
country's largest military budget
since the World War.
With a deficit Of nearly 5000 ,0o0,-
600 in sight, the cabinet simultane-
ously announced a new loan would
be floated February Is as a first
measure to keep the treasury in
funds.
The full budget for the new fiscal
year. beginning July /, is approxi-
mately $275 ,000, 900, or more than 18
per cent, higher than that with
which Italy started the current
year.
Budget May Be Increased.
This year the wars repercussions
on Italy have forced actual expendi-
lures much higher than the budget
figures, and authorities said the new
budget also might be further swol-
len by emergency appropriations.
Heavy arms expenditures and the
cost Of partial mobilization have
boosted the expense of keeping italy
ready to face a situation in which
the Fascist party's secretary general,
Ettore Mutt. said this week she
might have to take up arms at any
moment.
The colonization of Ethiopia, the
development of Albania and the
drive for self -suficiency are other
budget burdens.
Heaviest burden Of all, however,
is the service of the public debt. The
new budget allots to the finance
ministry about s672, ,000, 900, or SO
per cent Of the total. and the larger
part of this will 60 for debt service.
Urge Buying Of New Bonds.
Fascist authorities urged investors
to buy the new nine-year, per cent
bonds. They said there would be
no forced conversion of similar
bonds maturing this year, but re-
lied on the good sense" of Italians
to exchange the old bonds for new.
Virginio Gayda, authoritative edi-
torial writer, warned those who
might prefer private securities that
they would find themselves no bet

bonds, since the government mat
urally bears down more heavily on

Big Share Of Blame
For Finnish War on
Reich, Says Halifax
Germany Hos Lost Only
Chonce for Victory.
Foreign Chief Told

By the Associated Press.
LEEDS, England, Jan. 20 (Via
Radio) Germany must bear .
"heavy share" Of the blame for
Russia's invasion of Finland, Lord
Halifax, British foreign secretary,
declared today.
He coupled this charge with =
prediction that the Reich had lost
her "only chance" of winning the
western war by failing to launch a
swift, wholesale offensive
Germany assisted Finland to
maintain her independence in 1918
and has been on the most friendly
terms and relations with her ever
SINCE" Lord Halifax told q Leeds
Town Hall and radio audience.
Reich Must Bear Blame.
Nov the independence of Fin
land is threatened by a brutal ana
totally unprovoked aggression for
which Germany, by one of the most
singular acrobatic feats known to
political history and which has
brought new dangers to European
society, must bear her own share
and 1t is q heavy share-of blame "
Britain's secretary for foreign at
fairs praised the stout Finnish re-
sistance against Russia and while
he said 1t was militarily inadvisable
to report details of British aid to
Finland, he added that such aid
was not ian idle expression of &C.
ademic or formal sympathy"
Nazis' Only Chance Quick Strike.
Reviewing the historical events
leading up to the European war, he
said:
"As I see 1t, the Germans only
chance Of winning this war was to
win quick war by cashing in on
the advantage they possessed
through long preparation, through
their Notifications in the west, their
air strength and their readiness to
stop at nothing in the waging of
war by sea-"
Lord Halifax said the British and
French had taken advantage of the
delay to push war preparations to
the limit.

In the Far North above the Arctic
Circle, where Finnish forces the last
two days were described as i1arass-
ing 10000 retreating Russians, the
high command noted only the de-
struction Of two tanks.
The Firms also announced their
anti-aircraft batteries and flyers
shot down at least and pos
sibly 10 Russian bombers in yes
terday's air attacks.
Swedes Fell 6 Red Planes.
Following yesterdays first official
disclosure that Swedish volunteer
airmen were fighting with the Finn-
tsh air forces. the volunteers head
quarters in Stockholm reported at
least six Russian planes had been
shot down by the Swedes. The VOL
unteers lost two planes, however,
in collision in which three or four
flyers were killed.
While the high command de-
scribed yesterdays al rattacks as less
intense than In preceding days, it
estimated that more than 1000
bombs were dropped on ~ cities and
villages.
The only casualties reported, how
ever, were one dead and four
wounded.
Today's raids, judging from the
rumbles Of explosions which car
ried into the capital and incomplete
reports, were unusually severe. Ex-
ceptionally clear skies aided the
Russian airmen on their missions.
One small city north Of Helsinki
was reported to have been the target

Mail

airmail would be censored by British
authorities at Bermuda, only British
point now touched by the clippers.
This Government based its protest
on q provision of the 11th Hague
convention of 1907, which declared
that "the postal correspondence OF
neutrals or belligerents, whatever Its
official or private character may be,
found on the high seas aboard
neutral or enemy ship, is inviolable.
If the ship is detained, the corre-
spondence is forwarded by the cap
tor with the least possible delay"
Insists on Opening Letters.
The British reply, delivered to the
American Embassy last Wednesday,
contended that the stipulated i'm
munity from censorship applied only
to genuine postal correspondence"
and that Britain had q right to open
letters in order to make sure that
they actually were such genuine"
corresponding and did not con-
tain contraband articles or military
information for Germany.
This Government holds, however,
that it was just such interference
with sealed-letter mail that the
18th Hague convention was intended
to forbid. A similar position was
upheld in 1916, although the Brit
lsh interpreted American notes OF
that period as admitting "in prin-
ciple" the rights they now claim.
The British note contrasted their
censorship Of neutral mails with
"reckless and indiscriminate destruc-
ton Of neutral property by Ger
many, referring to the sinking of
neutral ships carrying mails to or
from neutral countries.
The note named specifically the
British ships Yorkshire and Dunbar
Castle, the Netherlands liner Simon
Bolivar and the Japanese steamer
Terukini Maru, "all Of which are
known to have been carrying mails
to and from neutral countries"
"Yet," the British note said, "his
matesty's government are not aware
that any protest regarding this de-
struction of postal correspondence
has been made to the German gov
ernment."
Deny Confiscations.
It added that the British authori-
ties were not conflscating or destroy
ing innocent mail, but were anxious
to conduct their censorship with a.
little inconvenience to foreign ma
tions as possible, and to hold de-
Ays to o minimum.
The note promised friendly
Treatment Of any specific complaints
about delays due to the British cen
sorship.
It was the second time within q
week that the British had turned
down q suggestion from across the
Atlantic that Britain was infringing
American rights.
