"TERRIBLE BURDEN OF ARMAMENTS"
MR NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN FEARS A CRISIS LONDON, January 29. The Chancellor of the Exchequer fMr Neville Chamberlain) speaking at Birmingham said: "Europe has been living so long in an atmosphere of uneasiness and anxiety that it is difficult to escape the feeling that a crisis is ahead. Yet there are some satisfactory features, for instance the Anglo-Italian agreement. "The terrible burden of armaments is bound to pull down the standard of living if nothing is done to reduce it. I cannot help being impressed with the incredible folly of a civilisation which is piling these terrible burdens on the shoulders of the nations."
