COPENHAGEN, 3rd October. A decisive step towards disarmament is being taken by the Socialist Government, which has introduced a Bill reducing the army to 1600 men, transforming the navy into a coastguard service, consisting of 32 patrol ships and 12 seaplanes.

The respective yearly costs of the army and navy will, under the proposals, be only £400,000 and £595,000.
