DOMINION DEFENCE BUDGETS

CANADA SPENDING $2,500,000 MORE

AUSTRALIA'S PROGRAMME

London, May 5.

The Dominions Secretary, Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, replying to a Commons question as to the manner in which the Dominions were expanding their defence forces, said with regard to Canada he understood defence expenditure in 1934-35 showed an increase of over two and half million dollars, as compared with expenditure in previous years, and that this expenditure was being generally maintained in the current year, with some further increase for the Air Force.

The Australian Goveniment was at present engaged in carrying out a three yeaza" programme of defence expansion, which was due to be completed at the end of the financial year 1936-37, The cost was under- stood to be in the region of twenty million Australian pounds.

A new Government had recently taken office in New Zealand. From sprecher which had been reported it would appear that the Ministers there were carefully examining the i defence position, but there was no indication yet of what concrete pro- posals they might make.
