Nov. 21-Cns of the first things to be dc teirdaed by the armament conference is the real amount Of money tie participateg pbwerS are spendlag upon arEsaent of various kinds. ; llnct tie cuestlon of armament has become acute, ev, try participatinj poef. with the possible- exception of Japan," has given out figures to make as favorable , a showing as possible upon the side of armament limitation. The figures given out are correct per se but of Un they are mifllesdSns. Vith the "ex ception of Japsn, each of the kr;:r nations participating in the confer ence, cite figures to show that their respective appropriations for arma ment for the current fiscal year are proportionately smaller (when com pared to the tptal budget for the cur rent year) than for many years. . , ' Where Parcantag ae Decaivo, For, example: . the United States during the current year will spend less than 19 per cent Of its total ap propriations for the maintenance of its army and navy, the smallest pro portion of the government's total ex pense that baa been spent upon ar mament since the government of the United States first . began. v While this is true from the standpoint of percentages. It is, nevertheless, equally true that In actual dollars and cehta the expenditures for army and navy are' much greater than in pre war days.'; ' The cost of the army and navy for the current year is approximately $787,000,000, In . 1911 the total amount spent upon the army and na vy was only a little over $280,000,. 000, which waa the highest sum ever pent-Bp until that time in any one year of peace. Yet In 1911 $280,- 000,000 represented 44 per cent of the total amount of money spent by the government , for all ' purposes, while the $787,000,000 that ia to be spent this year represents leas than 1 per cent of the total amount of money to be spent for all purposes. This decrease in percentages at the same time there is a tremendous in crease in actual expenditures is ex ptaind by the tremendous incresse in the total budget of the United States. In 1911 the total expenditures - of be government were only $054,000, 000. The budget for the Current year will be slightly In excess of lr 204,000,000. - ' EfUmi laciwaaod War Caste. The same deceptive conditions ex ist ia England aad France. While In 1914 Great Britain's appropriations far the armv were only 14 per cent of Ha total expenditures, for the cur rent year they are leas than 10 per cent of the total expenditure. But m dollars and cents these are the fig- eres: In 1914 the British govern maat snent tl41.4Z5.000 en Us army; for the current year It bas appropri ated 1479.815.000, or an Increase of t2 per cent la expenditures for the srmy. . . The comparative. figures for the British navy show Great Britain la 1014 scant 24 per cent of Us wiai budget for the navy, while for the current f.val yeaf It baa spent only rxr ceot of lU total budgat. uui. m In the case of lU expenditures for the army, the actual expenditures lor the navy are snany times what they were la 1914.
