Received Friday, 8 p.m. RUGBY, March 9,
Major Duff-Cooper, Financial Secretary to tho War Office, introducing the Army Estimates in the House of Commons, said the economics effected in last year’s Estimates in view of the exceptional financial conditions, were made with great misgiving. The Estimates presented represented an increase of £1,462,000. Referring to mechanisation of the \rmy, he said experience justified the adopting of a light tractor and . one more field artillery brigade equipped with it. It had now been decided that light and medium tanks should be employed in combination and the tank battalions had been reorganised on that basis.
