PARIS PROPOSES HUGE DEFENCE BUDGET

Paris, Nov. 19.

The French War Department to-day makes the startling statement that Germany, in 1935. will have organised a mightier army and will have built up an altogether more powerful war organisation, than she had in 1914.

In a few months, says the departmental report on the French War budget, Germany will be stronger on land than she was at the outbreak of the Great War.

The War Department budget asks for credits of 5,689,000,000 francs, compared with 5,946,000,000 last year, not including the cost of frontier fortification. The report goes on assert that Germany in 1935 will be able to: ald 5,500,000 men within a few days of the order of mobilisation. The French War, Department stimates that the total of Ger- annya standing army present time in 600,000 men. camprising the Rolchswehr, police and auxiliary troops. Reserves, however, including ex-soldiers and the famous Hitler Labour Corpa, total 2,100,000 mon.

Berlin, Nov. 19.

Whispered criticisms of the Government are heard In many quarters now, and are growing to an extent which causes some concern. There are even reports of insubordination among the Storm Troopers.

The unrest is believed to have resulted from the order of Herri Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, declaring that public. meetings of the Nazi Party and other allied organisation can only be held with the permission of the local party authorities in somo-districts, while in others auch meetings will only be fallowed on the granting of Herr

Goebbels' personal permission.

The official explanation of the order is, that it is merely to ensure that no party meetings shall cineh with the Winter Help Campaign." But reports from other quar-
