VOTE FOR ARMAMENTS
ANOTHER HUGE SUM
UNITED STATES PROPOSALS
(Rec. 2 p.m.)
WASHINGTON. September 25,
The Administration. is submitting a supplementary defence appropriation of 3,000,000,000 dollars to provide huge quantities of tanks .of a new type and a multi-purpose gun which can be employed against stratosphere bombers, reports the United Press.
The supplementary appropriation is necessary, first, because of the valiant Russian resistance and the consequent loss, of heavy material; secondly, because a British offensive in the Middle East is likely soon; and, thirdly, because of a decision to increase the mechanised equipment of the American army.
