It is pointed out that as the various companies' stock amounts to over 50 ms (foreign) the prohibition will not cause as much in- convenience as might be expected this year. However the step will render impossible the customary import of "extravaganza" films for the New Year.

Cutting State Expenditure
The Goverment is to cut down the State expenditure for the current fiscal year either through economies or by postponing various schemes. The matter is now being discussed by the Finance Ministry and the various Departments concerned.
It is stated that the Finance authorities desire to effect a cu of at least Y100,000.000 in expenditure If so, as a natural incrense of about 100,000,000 in revenue is predicted, there will be a "surplus" of 200,000,000 in the budget In other words. It will then be pos- sible to reduce the loan issue by this figure.
."
The work of framing the budget estimates for the next fiscal year is being delayed by the China affair. The provisional claims of all Departments were received by the Accountants Bureau only on September 22nd. From next week on, the Finance authorities will interview representatives of all Departments, and receive an ex planation of these claims from them.
Although the new claims of all Departments including the Ser- vices Departments amount to a fairly large sum, the Finance au- thorities are resolved to examine them along the lines fixed at the Cabinet meeting on August 24th, that is to say, to confine approval to claims directly connected with the China affair as far as possible. Even those items already approved will be re-examined and post- poned. If not disapproved, if they are not considered imperative from the point of view of national defence. The entire budget will thus be put on a war-time basis.
Apropos of the War Expenditure Special Account, the Finance authorities are willing to submit a supplementary budget in the next session of the Diet if necessary.
