House Of Commons Passes Third
Reading of British Mill.
tary Measure.
CRITICISM DEVELOPS
Government 10 Attacked for Wastetuj
Expenditure and War SECRETARY
Says Central Powers May
Slide Into Anarchy.

London. April AFTER strong critt-
cism of the government on the ground
Of wasteful expenditure and violation
Of election pledges to abolish conscrip-
ton, the house of commons passed the
third reading Of the military bill by .
vote Of 282 to "a.
Winston Spencer Churchill, secre-
tary for war. made . vigorous reply
to these criticisms. He described the
broad band across Europe from the
White Sea to the Caspian as shoulder
ing or afame through Bolshevik at
tacks and declared that Germany and
Austria were likely to slide into hops
less anarchy or form q military ALL
ance with the Bolshevik.
Occupation Cost Heavy.
With respect to the cost of the army
Of occupation, Mr.. Churchill said that
after deducting the estimated figure OF
about 100000 pounds, to be demand
ed from Germany for the upkeep Of tho
Rhine army. this left the cost Of occu-
patton for this year at 133.000.00e
pounds. The amount which was ex-
pected to be recovered by salvage was
calculated to pay two or three times
more than the cost Of the armies Of
occupation during this year.
Replying to arguments that there
was no national necessity for the bill,
Mr.. Churchill declared that Bolshevist
armies were attacking along the whole
front In Europe and the various little
states were in direct peril.
Could It be said, he asked, that Great
Britain had no interest in seeing the
world coming to peaceful settlement?
The moment the Allies Invested them
selves of their military forces they
should be powerless to exercise tho
slightest influence on the course Of
events all over Europe.
Army In Italy.
The approximate distribution of
troops, the secretary said, would be 40
follows: In Great Britain, 10000; in
France, 10000; on the Rhine, 264 200.
In Italy and adjacent regions. Mr..
Churchill added. there would be 10000
men in order to adjust the lamentable
differences which had arisen between
Italy and the Jugo-Slavs. saying:
I'VE are keeping small forces Of
British troops there in many localities
where the troops Of no other nation
would be welcome. We have been
asked to do this In conjunction with
our Allies. because It has been found
that these troops could prevent
troubles between the local populations
merely by their presence during the
period We are trying to settle things"
This was, Of course, continued the
secretary, done at the request and BY
the desire Of both parties.
