BRITAIN TO ARM HER ALLIES IN EUROPE
£60,000,000 For Defence
Allied
LONDON, July 6.
A BILL for allotting trade and defence credits to Great Britain's allies in Eastern Europe was introduced in the House of Commons to-day, and was given a formal reading.
The measure provides for credits totalling £60,000,000, destined to further the exportation of war material, as well as other goods to friendly countries.
Referring to the new credits, the German "Diplomatische Politische Kor- respondenz❞ says that the measure aligns itself in logical sequence to earlier British attempts to draw the greatest possible number of nations into Britain's military train.
WHERE BRITAIN WINS
Not only those countries with whom England is bound by mutual guarantees of security are to be militarily strengthened through nourishment on British funds, but nations such as Rumania and Greece, who have hitherto played a passive role in the encirclement network, will now be able to take a more active role.
They will be armed at Britain's expense.
