MORE VESSELS WANTED VOTE LIKELY TO BE RESTORED (Received 7th January, 2.30 p.m.) BERLIN, 6th January. Even the Prussians have taken up a campaign against Germany's defence Budget. It is pointed out that the expenditure on an army of a hundred thousand men exceeds the whole of Prussia's 1912 .outlay on half a million men. The German Defence Ministry retorts that critics are not allowing for the depreciation of currency or for the many separate pre-war departments which were disbanded under the Versailles Treaty. A most bitter struggle is developing in an effort to restore a vote of £4,000,000 for a cruiser which the Reichstag, at the instigation of Prussia, deleted. It is believed that tho Ministry ia in sufficient numbers to restore the vote in the Reichstag on the grounds that Germany's growing merchant service is not protected.
