LONDON, April 28 (Router).--In dealing with Herr von Ribbentrop's speech on Saturday, the Belgian paper "Matin" says "The fatuity of such a manoeuvre can only deceiva children."
In discussing the same subject, the "St. Louis Post" says that Ribbentrop's explanation cannot explain away the plain facts of brutal invasion.

The Italian newspaper "Forzearmate" states that the Norwegian defences have been "galvanised by the of the Allied presence

BUDGET IS HOTLY CRITICISED
Chance Of Resolute
Action Missed
LONDON, Apr. '28 (Reuter). "A Sound Budget" and "A Budget of Delusion" are two of the heading given to leading urticles in the British press in connection with the now budget.
They reveal the difference of opin- lon held by the press.
The heading of "A Sound Budget" was used by the "Spectator" which follows the line of reasoning by the Chancellor of the Exchequer who, the paper says, made a fair distribution, between borrowing and taxation.
It approves of other taxes with the exception of the raising of the postage rate.
Very Critical
The heading of "A Budget of Delusion" comes from "The Econom ist" which is very critical.
