BRITAIN TO ARM HER ALLIES IN EUROPE
£60,000,000 For
Allied
Defence
LONDON, July 6.
A BILL for allotting trade and defence credits to Great Britain's allies in Eastern Europe was introduced in the House of Commons to-day, and was given a formal reading.
The measure provides for credits totalling £60,000,000, destined to further the exportation of war material, as well as other goods to friendly countries.
Referring to the new credits, the German "Diplomatische Politische Kor- respondenz says that the measure aligns itself in logical sequence to earlier British attempts to draw the greatest possible number of nations into Britain's military train.
WHERE BRITAIN WINS
-Not only those countries with whom England is £1,250,000
bound by mutual guarantees of security are to be militarily strengthened through nourishment on British funds, but nations such as Rumania and Greece, who have hitherto played a passive role in the encirclement network, will now be able to take a more active role.
They will be armed at Britain's expense.
GERMAN SPLEEN
The paper says that while the funds are characterised as export credits, they are, in reality, nothing other than armament credits. In any case British armaments industry will proft, and the British State, or rather the tax payers will have to meet interest payments until the individual nations, thus armed with British equipment, are in a position to pay their debts.

"You Have A Feeling That You Are Trapped"-Thetis Inquiry
LONDON, July 6.
A POSSIBLE explanation why the four men, who preceded him into the escape chamber on the submarine Thetis, failed to escape, was given by Mr. F. Shaw of Cammel Laird, when he continued his evidence at the resumed inquiry into the disaster to-day.
He said three men were dead when they were dragged out of the chamber. The fourth, who was still alive, told him they could not open the hatch.
Asked if he could suggest any reason why the men were unable
