By the Associated Press. PARIS, December 28.—The Chamber of Deputies today appropriated 2,900,- 000,000 francs (about $116,000,000) to fortify the frontiers and to increase the navy. More than one-third of this sum will be available for use during 1930. In the debate today it was stressed that evacuation of the Rhineland made it imperative to complete the defenses along the northern border. The naval program calls for construction of seven submarines, more than in any other (& Submarine mine layer. | asking for the appropriation, explained | to the Chamber that the organization | of strong defense of the frontiers had | been agreed upon by all parties and that even the Socialists, when the length of compulsory military service was re- duced to one year, had argued that it was better to organize the frontiers for effective defense than to waste the time of young Frenchmen in service under the flag. Several orators agreed that evacuation of the Rhineland makes ex- ecution of the defense programs urgent. A total of 45,000 tons of new con- struction for the navy in 1930 was au- thorized.
