BRITISH REARMAMENT P.Tfi RISE IN COSTS PRE-WAR COMPARISON (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1 p.m. RUGBY. Alareh (i. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, AH. Neville -Chamberlain, speaking of the cost of the defence programme, said at Edinburgh that lie was forced to the conclusion that in the present circumstances Britain must press forward her re-equipment with all the energies of which the nation is capable, but he did not dismiss the hope that Britain and the other nations of Europe would presently find some less suicidal way of ending the existing fears and suspicions of one another before they were all ruined by their own efforts to defend themselves. The Alorning Post recalls that in 1013, another year of intensive rearmament, the country spent £49,000,000 on the navy and £23,000,000 on the army, no separate provision being made for the air arm. “In 1937, the air force alone is to cost nearly £10,000,000 more than the whole expenditure on defence in 1913, while the total bill is practically four times as great,” continues the Alorning Post. “Part of the difference is due to the higher price levels and the higher rates of pay, but the bulk is due greatly to the enhanced complication of ilie whole apparatus of defence.”
