Britain's Arms Program
Seen Making Dictatorship
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
The Foreign Policy Association
said yesterday that Great Brltaln's s
rearmament program appeared to
be forcing that nation into the type
of regimented economy which it Is
preparing to combat in Europe"
The association, a private research
organization, said in a survey that
"the difficulty of returning to a
balanced budget will grow as the
national economy becomes depend
ent on borrowing for current out
lays"
"The need for industrial regi-
mentation will increase with the ap-
pearance of bottle-necks in produc-
ton and shortages of skilled labor
in specific trades" the report con-
tinued.
although it is impossible to pre-
dict the long-term consequences OF
the rearmament program, Great
Britain appears to be confronted
with the dilemma of effecting an
economic mobilization sufficient to
enforce its diplomatic objectives, but
without resort to the totalitarian
methods of fascist states"
British expenditures for national
defense have increased more than
five-fold in hve years, the report
said, reaching an estimated figure
of $2,950, ,000, 900 this year.

money that no won't last more than one play against the Trojans of Southern California. Coach Bob Neyland says no one will really know his eondltoln until the first block Is thrown on him.
 "ff he withstands the first block, he'll be in there for c while" Ney- land says, If he doeSn't-well, we'll have to do without him."
 Take it from me, on i'd authority on knees, Cafego won't even last one play, because he won't start, When you are in such shape that you can't ride iS miles on c bus to tho love- Hest party ever given e Rose Bowl team, then you aren't going to be able to take the beating that such Southern Californlans as Smith, Hoffman, Window and sohn hand out.
 Disabled
 sufferidee's injury has not been given as much publicity as Cafego's but it iS almost as bad. Suffridge will start, and may even last most Of the game, but ho won't be the guard he was last year. He showed me Ms knee yesterday, and even my unknowing eye recognized 1t Gs something strictly out of order. He VIII have to wear c brace on it. and the brace will rob him of c lot Of his speed. And when you weight i84 and are riding against mo who weigh 200 or more, you need speed.
 So, If you like the Vols, you will Ike them despite the fact that two Of their key players won't Do in ac- tion very long. And, in the way of advice, I would like to tell you that cafoeo iS head man of the club and has been for two years. They'll still Dc geod without him in there. but not aS potent as If no were th0re calling signals and pulling his way through tho line. Butler is cute, Foxx is dependable, Warren Is powerful but the only man on tho squad whc never failed when handed that ball was Cafego
 Suffridge Is C very important man With Suffridgo at one guard and Molinski at the other. there was nc such thing as an opponent doing any good inside tho tackles. Until suffridge was hurt, doubt fl any Of TeniieSsees foes made as much as 20 yards inside the tackles. euir. ridge may still prove to Do . bull. wark on defense, but on ofYensc when he must have drive ane charge, he isn't likely to Dc SO hot Your knees must Do solid to launch you forward, fast and strong,
 Whom you talk and drink and foo around with the Tennessee rooteri out here for the game. you soon re- alize that they wish the team of last year was here for the Rose Bowl, They consider the team of 1889 only 60 per cent as efficient as tho ciui that wore the orange shirts Of Knox.
