BRITISH DEFENSE
FUND RAISE ASKED
$98,263,500 Increase is
Sought From Parliament
by Three Services.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 9.-Three British
defense services asked Parliament to-
dsy to increase their budgets $685.
263, 500.
Supplementary estimates filed in
the House Of Commons asked these
amounts over funds already approved
for national defense:
Air services, $58, 5000
Army, $33,o00,000.
Navy, $5,295 900.
In addition an increase Of 81 ,468,-
300 in the funds for munition factories
was requested.
although the supplementary esti-
mates were filed only today, they in
reality merely bring the defense
budget to the figure estimated by
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain last April. At that time
he said at least s20, 100000 (sloo. .000.-
ooo) additional would be required for
defense purposes)
Baldwin Wins Job Debate.
Commons began consideration of the
estimates after fresh victory for
the Baldwin government last night
In debate on unemployment.
The conservative majority defeated,
$50 to 139, motion of domestic policy
which in effect was a vote of conf
dence. The Labor resolution was de-
signed to call attention to what was
described as governmental reluctance
to deal with the grave and earnest
problem of hunger and want in the
midst Of plenty"
The new requests provide for the
navy's 1886 program to be increased by
two cruisers, one flotilla leader, eight
destroyers, one aircraft carrier and
four submarines.
The new craft are an addition to a
program already calling for five cruis-
erS, nine smaller vessels, one aircraft
carrier and four submarines, besides
two capital ships to be laid down early
In 1887.
The supplementary naval estimate
issued last April allowed 81 ,015, 900 for
each Of the new battleships, to be spent
during the current financial year. The
new estimate, however, revised the
CApC1lOAIuLCS dAOWlIlS pG,O4OioUU 4OI
each.
In an accompanying statement. Sir
Samuel Hoare first lord of the admi-
ralty. said each of the new ships would
be about 5000 tons.
New Ships to Cost S55,075,0OO
The total cost of the additions to
the sea fighting forces was estimated
at S55 ,075 900, Of which only S750,000
will be expended during the current
financial year.
Since previous supplementary esti-
mate issued for the navy appropriated
s51, 100000 additional, the fighting
force demands were increased s149,-
763,500 since the introduction of the
budget.
The new askings would raise the
total defense budget from 1855, ,005 900
to 1868 3,268,5 500.
The army supplementary requests
cover $28,070,000 for remedying de-
f1ciencies in the military defense serv-
ice. Special measures in connection
with the Italo-Ethiopian War were
estimated to have cost $6,260 900, but
! savings in other branches of the serv--
ice enabled the entire army estimate
to be limited to s33,O00,0oO.
