THE ARMY REORGANISATION.
(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.)
Yote of no Confidence Proposed
thereon.
Received this day at 9 10 a m. London, May 14
In the House of Commons Brodrtck moved the second reading of the proposed reoiganisation of the Army Bill. Bannoiman moved an amendment affirming that the scheme was not adapted to the special needs of the Empire. It increases the burdens of the tax-payer without adding to the Empire's military strength. He contended that tho Army Corps system was too rigid and the scheme was likely to be interpreted as an aggressive one, as it increased the armaments and dominated the policy outlined. Wyndham defended the main features, especially the dpcentralisation idea that the work be placed in the hands of six generals in South Africa who were experienced. Dilke favored decentralising. Winston Churchill feared that the scheme would involve danger to the Navy which thereby would be rendered uselessly weak and the Army uselessly strong. The debate in the House adjourned.
