slble German Invasion OF England, said
that million men were needed on short
10 protect England from such n contIn-

here.
The most complete reserve, however, is
maintained In official quarters, where the
discussion I'm parliament of the strength
OF the British army is regarded as i
purely international matter and a mat
ter upon which there is no call for foreign
comment.
The point Of View of the British par
lament. that ornaments both on sea and
on land are questions TO be settled by
the country concerned Itself without ref
crencc TO foreign desires or opinions, finds
q strong echo here.
