Berlin, Feb. 3. The German press to-night expressed anxiety over reported British defence proposals. But meanwhile Germany is forging ahead with her re-armament programme.

Inquiries indicate that Germany, before the end of the present year, will probably have completed the organisation of thirty-six infantry divisions. It was announced by Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, on January 5, 1935, that these would comprise over half a million regular troops, while the total of trained or partly trained soldiers which the country would be able to put into the field will total at least another 1,600,000..

It is generally believed that the total of Gemmy's front line aircraft, actually embodied in the new Air Force, does not at present exceed 1,000; but it is highly probable that a total of 2,000 first line machines may soon be reached: Aircraft factories are being rapidly developed, moreover, with a view to attaining eventually a potential production of about 4,000 machines annually.-Reuter Special.

Nazi Schools' Advantages

PUPILS PREFERRED BY EMPLOYERS

Munich, Feb. 1. Parents will have to decide to what schools they will sond their children this year. They either have to attend the Btate schools or the denomina- tional schools run by Catholics and other religious bodies.

The voting last year was 19,000 for Nazi schools and 30,000 against, but this year the votes are expected to be reversed.

Nazi propaganda says that children attending tho Stato schools have better prospects of obtaining employ. ment when their education is com- pleted-Routor's Bulletin Service.

Appeal

RAVEN AND BROWN ASK FOR BAIL

Shanghai, Feb. 4,

London, Feb. 3. The famous Anglo-German naval agreement now threatens to create u crisis at the London Naval Con- ference.

It is reported that Jurists have discovered that Germany is not bound by this agreement to limit the size of her warships, and as the conference is now dealing with qualitative limita-i tion, Great Britain favours Germany's admission at a suitable stage. It is that France strongly understood opposes Germany's participation.

AMERICAN STAND

·

At the same time struggle between France and the United States is proceeding over the size of battleships. This, too, darkens the prospect of a qualitative limitation agreement.

It is understood the United States has conceded to Britain's request that no more big cruisers are to be built, on the understanding that battleships' tunnage shall be fixed at a gure not above 35,000 tons. France wants avon smaller ships; she insists on al limit of 27,000 tons for battleships.

Both these issues are being tackled; in private discussions,
