MINISTER OF WAR BELIEVES
ENGLAND HAS GONE
FAR ENOUGH
LONDON, Mar., 19, . (£>)—'That
the one sided argument by Great
Britain has gone far enough, is
the opinion of Tom Shaw, minis
ter of war in the McDonald gov
ernment.
The reason why the govern
ment proposes to maintain its
forces at the present level—148,
000 men at a cost of $199,650,
000—he said, “is that policy of a
multilateral disarmament has not
achieved its purposes.”
“I do not wish to make insid
ious distinction between nations
but I aak everybody who takes
j interest in the question of dis
armament to carefully read about
the condition of affairs as shown
by the League of Rations books
on the subject and when I think
there can be no question as to
the reductions of drcesgovem
the reductions made by' this
country have not * been reproduc
ed in other countries.” ‘
