THE MICHIGA N DAILY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1936 Britain Plans Expansion Of War Facilities Industrial Mobilization For Instant Readiness For Conflict Is Reason LONDON, March 3. - (/P) -- Great Britain's government announced to- day a vast immediate expansion of its army, navy and air forces and industrial mobilization for instant readiness in case of war. A white paper, or government re- port, said the rearmament and in- creased national defenses were made necessary by complications of the in- ternational situation, combined with a "deplorable and undeniable" world- vide expansion of armaments. The United States, Germany, Bel- gium, France, Italy and Soviet Rus- sia were listed as having already em- barked on similar plans. Cites Dangers Citing "dangers of war" and pro- claiming a necessity for means of de- fense against aggression and enforce- ment of collective security, the white paper disclosed : "A fresh examination of the posi- tion, made last summer and autumn, led to the conclusion that it was necessary to make further changes in the Royal Air Force and speed up measures contemplated for moderni- zation of the army and navy, to pro- vide as rapidly as possible necessary reserves of stores and ammunition and equipment and organize indus- trial resources of the country in such a way as to allow immediate ex- pansion of productive capacity in case of an emergency." Parliament will debate the white paper next week. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin will name a new cabinet minister as deputy chairman of the imperial de- fense committees to supervise, co- ordinate and control the huge arma- ment expansion. Need of Arms Stressed The urgency of Britain's rearma- ment was emphasized by the an- nouncement that the government would attempt to prevent extrava- gant profits to the munitions indus- try, but that "it will be important, however, to see that the work is not delayed by over-elaboration of finan- cial safeguards." The government conceded virtual collapse of naval limitations as reg- ulated by the Washington and London treaties, ;denounced by Japan and ex- piring at the end of this year. The government report announced plans to'lay down the keels for two new capital ships in 1937, addition of 6,000 men to the navy, 4,000 men to the army and 250 planes to the air- force. The white paper announced that modernization of Britain's existing battleships would be continued. Five cruisers will be included in the 1936 building program, in the scheme to bring up the total of Brit- ain's cruisers to 70, of which 60 will be under age and 10 over age.

Reason given were: that the pres- ent method supplies incentive; that it affords better chance for the pro- fessor to appraise the students' abili- ty; that the grades show a student exactly where he is deficient;dand that the "D" grade is enormously use- f ul in exposing the capable idler. ..- Printers City's Lowest Prices on 308 North Main Street - Printing.

If the rest of the room is in comparative darkness, the excessive contrast will make your eyes and your whole body work much harder than if the entire room were lighted to the proper intensity. Though you may not realize it, your eyes do not stop at the edge of the line you are reading, but continue some distance past that point. When the eye is forced to jump from a brightly lighted page into surrounding compara. tive gloom, it must continually adjust itself to the contrast, causing fatigue and strain. To proutct yvur eyesight, remember: 1. Have your eyes examined regularly by a competent eyesight specialist. 2. Be sure that you have correct lighting.
