JAPANESE DEFENCE
HEAVY EXPENDITURE UN ARMY AMD NAVY BUDGET DEFICIT INEVITABLE Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright TOKIO, September 12. Baron Takahashi, in a statement to tho Press, said that the requirements of national defence must have priority in the forthcoming Budget, thereby postponing plans for financial readjustment. Tliis is clearly the result of his interview with General Araki. Extraordinary expenditure on. the army and navy is estimated at 800,000,000 yen, and an enormous Budget deficit is inevitable.
[A long interview between General Araki (Minister of War) and Baron Takahashi (Minister of Finance) evoked the greatest interest among the vernacular Press. In addition to. their obvious purpose to secure inclusion in the Budget of enormous military requirements, their plans were attributed to include the abolition of political party government, uniting the country under the slogan of national defence, and increasing the dominating influence of the army.]
