CHURCHILL SUSPECTS GERMAN MOTIVES

London, Nov. 27.

On the eve of the debate on Imperial Defence, and immediately following calls by the British Ambassador in Berlin upon Baron von Neurath and calls by the Ger-. man Ambassador in London upon Sir John Simon, the rumour has gone abroad that something in the nature of an ultimatum has gone forth to Germany on the sub- ject of armaments, This suggestion, however, was dis- counted in Parliamentary circles to-day.

There is an admitted possibility of tension result- ing from the debate to-morrow, however. It is known that Mr. Winston Churchill will demand increased Bri- tish defences on the ground that Germany is adding to her offensive power.

It is believed that Mr. Stanley { Baldwin, Conservative leader, when the debate on Imperial De.. fence opens in the House of Com. mone to-morrow, will indicate that the British Government views with growing concern the position of international arma- ments.

He is expected to reiterate That,. while the British air policy an! nounced Insi July is intended an a Ave-year plan, there will be no hesitation on the part of the Gov ernment in accelerating the exs tension of the Royal Air Force should events occur which render | the apsoding up of air armament construction necessary.

Mr. Winston Churchill, moving an amendment to the Conservative chief's address, is expected to base

Washington, Nov. 27.

It is learned that the Administration is studying drastic economic measures which, it is calculated, will cut millions from the national expense account and, incidentally, eliminate from federal pay rolls some thousands of workers.

It is pointed out, how- ever, that it is still too early to judge the extent of the oconomies, Inasmuch as they are largely dependant upon the future of general business which dictates the amount of relief necessary.
