JAPAN ARMING.
STRONGER NAVAL FORCE. INCREASE IN HER ARMY. FORTIFYING PApiFIC ISLANDS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 4, 5.5 p.m. Tokio, July 2. The Budget, brought down at an extraordinary session of the Diet, contains an increase in armaments on land and sea, including fortifications on Bouin and other small South Sea Islands. The required revenue will be obtained from an increased income, tax and new loans. The naval authorities defend the proposed increases in Japanese income taxes as a means of providing revenue with which to strengthen the naval forces. They point out that conditions make it impossible to postpone the completion of the Japanese naval programme.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
