The Army Estimates.
When the Army Estimates were ported from committee in the of Commons, Mr Arnold Minister of War, replying to criticisms, agreed with Sir R. T. Reid that the Motherland was likely to question more and more the wisdom 0 f paying the lion’s share of Imperial defence. He looked for a remedy in the gradual growth of Opinion in the colonies that if they were endangered they must contribute a fair amount; or possibly there would be a growth of opinion in the Motherland in favour of saying that she would be unable permanently to carry the burden.
The vote for a standing army of 227,000 officers and men was carried by 263 votes to 59.
