London, Feb. 10.

It is learned that the British Government is formulating *a complete re-armament plan necessitating the expenditure of more than £300,000,000, spread over the period of the next three years and financed through a defence loan.

The Government's motives will be explained fully to Parliament shortly, but it is understood that it has been deter- mined to extricate the United Kingdom and the Empire from the position in which it is at present, open to the attack of marauding nations with colonial ambitions.

Moreover, Britain desires to gain a position from which she will be able to speak with more effect and to act swiftly in co-operation with nations believing in collective, security.

It is learned in reliable quarters that Great Britain's greatest problem is to learn Germany's future policy, particu- larly with regard to Eastern Europe. Some sources have alleged that Germany and Poland plan a joint attack upon and attempted seizure of the Ukraine.

- HONGKONG'S DEFENCE
