Abyssinia War Has Cost

Britain £7,000,000

NAVY, ARMY, R.A.F., PRESENT 'SPECIAL MEASURES' BILL

War in Abyssinia is proving a costly thing for Britain. Britons are called upon to meet an extra expenditure of £7,811,100, largely because of special measures taken by the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Royal Ordnance factories in connection with the Abyssinian trouble.

Four supplementary estimates were issued this month for this sum, divided thus:-
