BUDGET
5 Million Deficit Expected In 1934
As far as the Manchurian prob-. lem before the League of Nations Council at Geneva' is concerned Mr. Ariyoshi declared that he had received no special instructions to protest against the speech of Dr. Wellington Koo at Geneva.
GENERAL CHIANG'S DRIVE. Mr. Ariyoshi places much im-" portance on Genersi Chiang Kai Sher's big drive against the Com- munists in Kiangsi as he thanks the future of the Nanking Govern-- ment and also of General Chiang Kai Shek's position depends on the result of the drive which is to be. started shortly. The Japanese Minister hopes that the drive will prove a success, if not a complete success. If General Chiang with his ample forces can drive the Communists out of the vast area now occupied by them and keep them within narrowly restricted limits it would mean a great success and Improvement for China, according to Mr. Ariyoshi.

This means that the surplus on December 31st next will amount to about 84 millions. The cash avail- able to meet the defçit on the budget and other commitments in 1934 will be 836 millions. The esti- mated excess of expenditure over revenue in 1934 is just over $5 millions.
RETRENCHMENT URGED?".
In the course of the --Budget debate Mr. J♬ Bagnali said he did Tot share the popular view that the tide of trade had turned and recovery was in sight. "I see much more likelihood of a continuation of wages and commodity prices on present or "even lower levels than of a movement towards the higher levels of four or five years ago."
He pointed out that the increase in value of the Colony's invest- ments was due to manipulation of interest rates at home and prob- ably would not last,
Referring to "the report of the Retrenchment Committee and the recommendation of a 13 per cent. put in personal emoluments be pointed out that some depart ments had not attained this figure and suggested that special enquiries should be made as to the reasons. "As, regards public works extra- ordinary the Retrenchment Com- mittee recommend that for 1933 and 1934 activities should be con- fined to completion of those works which had already been started and that no new money should be provided. As over $4,000,000 is es- timated to be spent in 1934 on these incomplete works consider- able reductions should be effected in the remaining items and all works not absolutely essential should be removed from the list.
Dr. Noel Clarke'spoke at length on the question of education with particular reference to the raising of the school fees and vernacular education. He adduced ngures showing that the expenditure on education had not been substan- tially increased during the past four years. The idea that there had been extravagance in this direction was entirely unwarrant ed. In his opinion there had been parsimony.

clally the females of this Colony. With such a heterogenous popula- tion as exists and with a prepon- derance of males, I feel that the new policy will in time bring about a sad state of affairs in that in- stead of having unfortunates from without they will be from within.”
Although the report of the affairs of, the Colony showed a slight diminution in the incidence of venereal disease it was his ex perience that in fact such diseases were on the increase.
BETTING TAX. Lastly he said: "I have a fes words to say on the betting tax. Racing in this Colony cannot be looked upon as an industry. There are no studs and no breeding of horses and all the horses without exception are imported. Further, a very high percentage of those who make a ving out of racing are not

this tax to ten per cent. at least, An increase of this tax would be preferable to the raising of school fees."
SALARIES.
Mr. Newbold referring to the question of personal emoluments raised by Mr. Bagnall said "My own opinion is that Government has not tackled the problem of reduction of the item of personal emoluments in the right way. 1 believe, that a considerable reduc tion can still be · made but there' are signs that we are drifting to- wards an unsatisfactory state of affairs in regard to the Malayan Civil Service."
"If the analyses the personai emoluments in the new budget one finds that "out of a total of $16.8 millions the Malayan Civil Ser vices costs us only a little over $800,000. This is only five per cent. of the total. It is because I be lieve that the successful adminis tration of the Government depends on the employment of the highest standard of officer for the M.C.S. that I view with concern the pos- albility of the merging of the M.C.8.
