一英国政府4月4日发表的国防白皮书已于4月17日在下院获得通过。白皮书透露了英国在政治经济各方面的—些困难情况,同时也提出了英国在扩张军备和建军方面的—些新措施。其主要内容是: 第一,裁减现役武装部队,在今后五年内从六十九万人逐步裁减到三十七万五千人。从1960年起将不再征召义务兵役,提高“志愿”服役的待遇。第二,减少海外驻军。白皮书说,英国一直不相称地担负着西方“防务”的一大部分,保持大量海外驻军,使得“支付平衡十分紧张”。提出把驻在莱茵河的军队由七万七千人减到六万四千人,驻在西德的飞机减少一半,撤出驻在南朝鲜的侵略军队和驻在利比亚的殖民军队。
A national defense white paper issued by a British government on April 4 was passed in the lower house on April 17. The white paper reveals some difficult British circumstances in all aspects of the political economy. It also proposes some new measures Britain has taken to expand its armaments and build its military. Its main contents are as follows: First, to reduce the number of active armed forces and gradually reduce the number from 690,000 to 375,000 within the next five years. Since 1960, compulsory military service will no longer be enacted and the service of “voluntary” service will be enhanced. Second, reduce overseas troops. The White Paper said that Britain has disproportionately taken up a large part of the “defense” of the West and maintained a large number of overseas troops so that “the balance of payments is very tense.” Proposed to reduce the number of troops stationed on the Rhine from 77,000 to 64,000 and that the number of aircraft stationed in West Germany be reduced by half, with the withdrawal of the aggressor troops stationed in south Korea and the colonial army stationed in Libya.
