ITALIAN ARMY ESTIMATES SHOW AN INCREASE
Rome, To-day.
An increase of 100,000,000 lire is shown in the Army Estimates for the 1938-39 financial year pre- sented to Parliament yesterday, compared with the figure for the current year.
Estimated expenditure totals 2,612,000,000 lire.
The report accompanying the Estimates says "All the world is arming to-day The states ruled by so-called democratic regimes justify their armaments as the su- preme guarantee of peace.
"But Italy, more than any other nation, has always brought a realistic and fruit- ful contribution to radical so- lution of the problemis of peace."
The report adds that a new or ganisation of troops in the Aegean Islands has been created in order to raise the garrison to the level of their importance in the Medi- terranean.-Reuter.
