JAPANESE BUDGET
NAVAL AND MILITARY "SCARES"
HUGE ESTIMATES
Tokyo, Sept. 1..
As the date for completion of the budget catimates approaches, propagandista of the Japanese army and navy are engaged in a mad race to see which can invent the most terrible foreign bogeys with which to frighten Japanese tax payers into passive acceptance of unprecedented taxation.
The
krmy discovers new menaces from the north almost daily and pictures the Russian bear as sharpening his claws to pounce on Manchukuo in prepara- tion for a descent on Tokyo and Osaka.
The navy retaliates with a Uniled sinister report that the States has obtained right for secret bases In Magdalena Bay, Mexico, and Fuklen Province.
The Army sees Russia as spend- Ing upwards of 300,000 Yen month to support Communist cells in Japan and warns the nation that if there is the slightest let- up la military preparations the Comintern will
se deluded Japanese themselves to bring about the downfall of the Empire.
BRITAIN "FEARED"
The Navy counters with visions of Britain cutting off Japan, from world markets behind the might of British warships.
To experienced observers in Tokyo the annual spectacle is amusing because of the fact that the military propagandists rely on the same threadbare tales they have circulated for a decade, and alarming because of the certainty the estimates will be larger than ever before in history and will mean an added burden of debt for the already impoverished farmers and workers of the island nation from Formosa to Koren and from the Mandate islands in the South Pacifle to the snowy waters. of Saghallen.
That the estimates will be adopted is a foregone conclusion for the Japanese pensant, patient, courteous and industrious almost to a fault, has not yet reached the breaking point. Staggering under
