BRITAIN GIVES WARNING
OF ARMS DEBATE INCREASED DEFENCE POSSIBILITY
London, To-day.
The suggestion that anything in the nature of an ultimatum has been delivered to Germany on the subject of armaments is discounted in Par- liamentary circles.
It is believed that Mr. Stanley Baldwin in his speech in the House of Commons to-day will indicate that the British Govern ment is viewing with growing concern the position in internation- al armaments,, reiterating that while the British air policy, an nounced last July, is intended to be a five-year plan, there will be no hesitation on the Government's part to accelerate the extension of the air force should events occur rendering a speeding up, ab- solutely necessary.
