MONEY-STARVED ARMY
FORCES OF AUSTRALIA CHIEF SETS UP COMPLAINT (United P.A—By Telegraph — Copyright) Reed. 10.3 S a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. Declaring, in his annual report, that the army vote was quite inadequate, Sir Harry Chauvel, Chief of the General Staff of the Australian Military Forces, points out that the policy of reducing expenditure to bare essentials jeopardises the efficiency and preparedness for emergency. The present financial limitations permit of elementary training only, and despite the increase of the Commonwealth population, the allocation for the army is approximately only £1,000,000, compared with £2,277,000.
