(British Official Wireless.) BUG BY, March 5. When questions were asked in the House of Commons as to the method of meeting tho costs of the defence White Paper programme, the Chancellor of tlie Exchequer, dir. Neville Chamberlain, said he considered it would lie more appropriate to give such information in his Budget statement. Mr Chamberlain added that ow ing to the flexible and variable character of the proposals, as well as to the difficulty of estimating accurately beforehand the possible rate of execution, it was not practicable to say at this -stage even approximately what would be the total cost of the programme. For the same reason it would bo premature at present to frame any estimates of additional costs of the upkeep of the forces resulting from the new plans. A Defence debate on Monday will arise on the following motion to be moved by the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin: “That this House approves the defence proposals of the Government, which sue outlined in the White Paper.*' A Labour Opposition amendment states; — "As the safety of the country and peace of the world cannot he secured by reliance on armaments, but only by resolute pursuit of a policy of* international under,standing, adherence to the Covenant ' of the League of Nations, -disarmament, the progressive improvement of international labor standards, and economic co-operation •so as to remove the causes of war, this House cannot agree to a policy which, in fact, seeks security in national armaments alone,and includes a ruinous arms race between nations, inevitably leading to war, anil the House views with alarm the proposals for the reorganisation of industry on a war basis which will enormously extend the vested interests in arms manufacture and create a serious menace to organised labour and Li trade union standards, and has no condeuce in His Majesty’s Ministers whose unworthy and ambiguous foreign policy has largely contributed to the present state of world unrest.”

The debate i s to extend e v er two days. The National Council of Labour has decided to support tho Parliamentary Labor Party in opposing the White Paper.
