ARMS BUDGET
Copenhagen, June 2. It is allied to be the wish of former anti-German allies to work to prevent the new Danish Parliament from carrying out the drastic military budget reductions which the victorious Socialist Labourites promised in the élez- campaign preceding the recent tions.
The understanding was these nations, particularly, Great Britain, would not favour any attempt to bolish or re duce materially the Danish army and navy owing to Denmark's geographi- to the ap- cal position in relation proaches to the Ballic.
A disscued Denmark, it was con- tended, would be powerless to prevent any Baltic State from sealing these ap- proaches in the event of war.
It was expected the Labourites with the help of the Radicals would make an effect to bring about the promised re- duction in military expenses-which was the main issue in the electoral cam- paign. Unless they gained some sid from the Liberals, who will keep a majority in the Landsting (upper house of the Riksdag) their efforts seemed doomed to a check. Associated Press
