BRITISH INCREASE
Press Assn. —By Tel.—Copyright.
LONDON, August 3. Mr Lloyd George announced in the House of Commons that as .a result of inquiry by the Committee of Imperial Defence, the Government had adopted a scheme providing for 500 machines for Home defence, costing an additional £2,000,000 yearly. The extra expenditure would not prevent a reduction of the total estimates for the three fighting services in 1922. The decision would not prejudice the extension of the ah' force later if necessary. The subject would be reconsidered in 1923, in the light of the financial position, and the air policies of other Powers.
