DETERMINED TO SMASH NAZIISM
LONDON, Sept. 28 (Rou. tor). Britain's war budget clearly demonstrates the coun- try's determination to smash Hitlerium at any cost, is the view of the press.
At the same time soveral the notably nowspapari. "Times", criticize features of Sir John Simon's work.
The "Times" dwells on the fact that the budget reflects a colossal effort, unprecedented willingness to make financial sacrifices, and unequivocal proof of terrific financial strongth.
But the paper expresses the opinion that it might havo bean botter to leave the standard income-tax alone for the current year, while forc- casting a higher standard rate for next year.

LONDON, Sept. 27 (Router).—The main figures of the budget make the revised estimated expenditure for the current year up to £1,933,000,000.
The revised estimate of revenue, including £107,000,000. from now taxation amounts to 2995,000,000, and this leaves £938,000,000 to be met by borrowing, of which £500,000,000 is already authorised to be mot from defence loans money. Effective resolutions giving legislative force to the proposals were agreed unanimously within 100 minutos of the budget speech, and the general debate then opened.

Capitulates To Nazi Forces
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" LONDON, SEPT. 28 (UP). -
ONCE PROUD CAPITAL OF AN WARSAW,
34,000,000 PEOPLE, HAS UNCONDITIONALLY CAPITULATED AFTER ONE OF THE GREAT- EST AND MOST HEROIC RESISTANCES TO SIEGE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
A radio broadcast from the city states that it is completely wrecked. Hardly a building remains standing in an area which once held 1,300,000 people.
GIANT INFERNOS
Giant fires are raging everywhere, and, because the water supplies have been destroyed by Nazi bombs and shells, there is no method of controlling the infernos.
The radio announcer described the city as an inferno upon earth."
Warsaw officially capitulated at 11.30 a.m. (6.30 p.m. H.K.T.) after being besieged for 21 days.
RAIN OF DEATH
During that time, it is computed that 20,000 bombs and 100,000 shells were rain- ed upon the city.
The formal surrender of the city to the German High Com- mand will be made on Friday.
The surrender includes 100,- 000 troops, all of whom will lay down their arms.
