SECRET SERVICE.
Big Jump in Free State Expenditure. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received March 21, 12.55 p.m.) LONDON, March 20. Senator M’Lauchlin, criticising the Free State Estimates, pointed out that instead of Mr de Valera’s promised saving of £2,000.000 he had increased the expenditure by £8,000,000 compared with Mr Cosgrave’s last Budget. The most sinister increase was the jump of the Secret Service vote from £2OOO to £25,000. “ If the Government exists only by subsidising secret service agents, its mandate is ended,’ he declared.
