One Italian plane was shot down and another "probably destroyed," It said. Fleet Bars ADproaches. Mllltay circles here estimated that approximately 50,000 Italian troops were concentrated at To bruk. which Is about 70 miles west of Barilla and strategically Im portant because Its harbor Is one of the best nn the Libyan coast. The approaches to the harbor wore said to be already barred by the British fleet. The Tobruk defenses, hastily strengthened while the Italian "suicide garrison" at Bardia fought to delay the British drive to the west, were said to consist of two lines of fortifications, with the outer ring approximately 25 miles In circumference.

The fascist "sacrifice garrison" at Bardia, the statement said, was opposed bv 250.000 British troops supported by "great arm- ored units," not less than 1,000 planes, and "the entire Alexan dria fleet." The statement asserted that the Italian garrison shot down 53 British planes, sank two warships bombing the stronghold, sank a steamer, and badly damaged a de stroyer, torpedo boat, gunboat and monitor. Greetings Sent to "Heroes" Tho Italian cabinet, meeting under II dure, sent "greetings of admiration" to leaders of Italy's armed forces "fighting heroically on many fronts" and declared Italy had taken "an unshakable decision to continue the fight un til victory." Premier Mussolini's govern ment, meanwhile, with a budget deficit of approximately 51,402,- 000,000 for the past fiscal year, announced a $2,000,000,000 budget 1 for the coming year, exclusive of probable war costs.
