To Secretary of Treasury Woodin, Colonel Louis McHenry Howe and TIME'S artist, who were mentioned in the same passage with "Australian Bushman" and "Bloodhound," humblest apologies. The distinguished Treasury head, Colonel Howe and the muse who instills magnetism in TIME'S front covers are performing their respective tasks to my unlimited satisfaction and I am confident Bushman and Bloodhound are doing the best they know, each according to his light.

Salaries of all state employes from II Duce down to the humblest postman had already just been cut 12%. To offset this 43-million loss further it was announced that $15,000,000 will be lopped from the budgets of all ministries -that is, from all but the war budget. The Italian Army will cost $156,000,000 next year; the navy...
