GERMANY’S DEFENCE BUDGET
FRANCE SURPRISED
SPENDING MORE THAN BEFORE THE WAR. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, January 6. (Received January 7, at 9.50 a.m.) France is surprised at Germany’s Defence Budget of £35,000,000. It is pointed out that for her skeleton army of 100,000 men, deprived of tanks, aeroplanes, and big guns, Germany will spend more in 1928 than she spent before the war on the Imperial army of 700.000 men. Critics are concentrating on the item £140,000 for maintenance of gas masks, and ask if the repairs include gold plating.
