how that proportion compares with the percentage paid by

Colonies which borrow their defensive forces from the

Imperial Government.

It is extremely difficult to arrive at any reliable

figures, by which such a comparison can be instituted. In the

first place the sum shewn as Military Expenditure in the

published Financial Statements, represents only a portion

of the total cost of the Forces. Medical services, trane-

port, defence, and barrack buildings are included under the

heads of Expenditure, while accounting and clerical work,

and many other services are rendered by civil departments.

In the second place it is not easy to distinguish in many

cases between the Military and the Police services. Armed

Constabulary form part of the defensive force, yet perform

some civil duties. Adding one third of ordinary Civil

Expenditure to cover the former (which is probably too low

an estimate) and excluding Police except where shewn de-

finitely as Constabulary, and even then debiting only half

their cost to Military Expenditure, a very rough approxima-

tion of the proportion which Military Expenditure bears to

General Revenue may be arrived at. So far as it has been

possible to make this calculation from available data, it will be found in Table 14

In

:

Since this Memorandum was written application has been made to the different Colonies and Protectorates for the figures necessary to complete this table, and copies of their replies are attached. From these it will be seen that with the exception of Northern Nigeria, (the figures from which place are, I think, based on calculations made by myself when there), the data regarding indirect expenses of defence are so vague,(where given at all), that they are useless for purposes of precise calculation. Northern Nigeria gives full figures, and may be taken as a fair type. accurate calculation can probably only be made at the Colonial Office where full data are available. I am on the whole inclined to think that my rough approximations above are probably fairly correct. They are based on my exper- lence in a Protectorate providing its own defence.
