MARS AND MONEY The burden of armaments—mount- ing amid the confusion in which some nations are preparing for expansion and others searching for security—is estimated by the League of Nations to have reached $45„000;000 a day in 11938. Increases forecast by 1 national' budgets indicate that the burden for 11939 may approach more than $60,- 000,000 a day. Democratic nations will show the major increases during the •present year, the United States and Britain almost doubling their -1938 expendit- ure in an effort to overcome the lead attained by the dictatorships. The United States figures are being formulated. The tentative' Naval bud- get, regular and emergency, totals $7816,000,000. The Army budgets notal $2,012,000,000. These include the Air Force ap'propriations, bring the total for 1939 to an estimated $1,793,000,000 compared with $932,000,000 in 11938. Britain, doubling its 'borrowing 'ca- pacity to 1$4,0001000,000 to speed a 5 - year program, will spend $2,900,000.- 000 in the 11939/40 fiscal year, compar- ed with the two previous years in whish $1;9410,000,000 and 81,340,000.- 000 were spent. France faces a 1939 budget of 331,- 0715,800,000 for military purpose,. This compares with an outlay of ap- proximately '$650,000,000 in 19345. 'japan, with the Sino-Japanese war unofficially said to be costing $4,000,- 000 a day, 'has not yet drafted its 1939 defense figures, but the ordinary bud- get is 'the 'highest in its history. Italy's expected figure for 1939 may total $4150;0tJ0,000, The total for 1938 was $31'3,000,0.00. Germany and Russia make public ns, comparable 'figures. Some estimates indicate $5,000,000,000 as the Russian military expenditure for 11939. Germ- any publishes no budget and there are no estimates of the proportion of military :expenditure embraced in an estimated tax and borrowing total of $9,000,000,000 in 1938.

EAST Joseph Stalin's intention to concen- trate Sovietactivities in Asiatic Rus- sia, revealed two years ago, has been reinforced by the summary for the Soviet Five Year Pian. This plan reveals that Soviet Rus- sia's "Drang nach Osten" --drive to the east -is as pronounced as Germ- any's. At least two-thirds of new in- dustrial construction provided :by this plan will be located in Asiatic Rus- sia, east of the 'Ural Mountains. For several years Mr. Stalin has shown greater interest in the Asiatic portions' of his country than in the European. He has personally .directed such vast schemes as the gold rush and wholesale colonization in the So- viet Far East and Siberia. His pre- disposition to Asia has been sharpen- ed by the threats from Ger'many's eastern expansion. With such vast territories to develop, it seems sensi- ble for Russia to make her heaviest capital investments in Asia, which is ,more easily defended. That is precisely what is now being done, as the figures for the third Five 'Year Plan show. This plan actually started more than a year ago, at the 'beginning of 19138, but even its out- lines were delayed for more than a year by the virtual civil war which has demoralized the Soviet bureauc- racy since 1936. Russia has provided the curious spectacle of a "planned economy” going ahead on its own momentum, without plan. Even now the details are lacking. When "planned economy" first was introduced into Russia in 1923, the third Five Year Plan was foreseen as a period for raising the living stan- dards of the people. The first two plans, it was expected, would have provided the foundations of self-suf- ficient industry, and capital invest- ments could now be concentrated upon consumer goods, Several•unfore- seen events have frustrated the orig- inal .scheme, including the threat of war, the communist internal conflict, and universal red tape and ineffici- ency. So the major part of national income must he devoted during these five years, as in the 'two previous per- iods, to armaments and heavy in- dustries. At the same time, workers must provide 'for an increase of .65 per cent. New capital 'construction under the third plan lie almost entirely outside the range of German 'bombers, but several 'large enterprises are planned for the Soviet Far East. Apparently Moscow does not fear aerial attack from Japan or Manchuria. For strate- gic reasons, a much smaller propor- tion of new investments has been as- signed to the 'Ukraine than in previ- ous plans. Some of the great indust- rial centers in the Ukraine are to be completed according to original plan. but no new ones built. Recent setbacks in Soviet industry and in economic activity :generally are frankly admitted in the official summary of the new plan. These are attributed, as usual, to "wreckers' spies and Trotskyist traitors." There is no hint that official policies might have been at fault, or than "planned economy" or the Bolshevik poltical system possesses any fundamental de- fects. DUTCH AUSTRALIAN TIES The recent occupation of the Chin- ese island of Hainan by the Japanese forces, bringing Japanese influence appreciably nearer to the islands of the Netherlands East Indies to tsthe south is likely to strengthen the close relationship that has for some time been in progress 'between the Nether- lands ,East Indies and Australia. Only last year Lord Gowrie, Gov- ernor-General of Australia, made a ceremonial visit to Java,a move which was understood to have had the object of stressing the community of interests, both economic and def- ensive, between the two governments. Defense talks and negotiaions for ef- fecting new trade links have for some time been carried on. The dovetailing of British and Ne- therlands interests in this region is not difficult. The British need East Indies oil. The Netherlands East In- dies with its 513,007;000 mouths to feed needs assurance that .Australia's abundance could flow to ,them in case of necessity. In fact, the two countries on the borders of the Pacific are in maby re- spects complementary in their prod- ucts. From this position it has been but a step to a mutual understanding on• defense. The Netherlands govern- ment welcomed completion of Brit- ain's naval base at Singapore, protect- ing.' commerce in the seas north of Australia. "That phrenologist is wonderful.

TESTED RECIPES More Butter—Better Meals ' At first thought the percapita con- sumption of butter in Canada, over thirty-two pounds per year, may seem a high figure. This amount, however, might well be appreciably :increased for it is proven that butter is an eco- nomical food, which gives high re- turns in flavor and food value for motley spent. Butter is unique among fats be- cause of its high vitamin A content. Two ounces of •batter eaten daily will meet the body's requirement for this health ,protective vitamin. Recent re- search has shown that there is ,no loss of vitamin A in the churning process and it has been proven that the vitamin A potency is not reduced when butter is held its storage nor when it is 'heated. Every good cook 'knows that but- ters adds a flavor to foods which can not be obtained by any other pro- ducts. The daily serving of well - buttered vegetables and butter -made sauces are two suggestions for the practical homemaker. Buttered Vegetables Drain cooked vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, peas, 'beans, turnips, squash and mash if necessary. Al- low at least 11 teaspoon 'butter to each cup of cooked vegetable.
