Denmark Plans Defense Outlay
A Danish plan calls for spending about 400.0 million kroner (roughly 57.1 million USD) on rearmament over two years as civil defense. The proposal would raise defense spending to 20.1 percent of the annual budget or 3.6 percent of national income, with a note to the U S State Department seeking Western defense support. The government requests an extraordinary appropriation of 900 million Danish kroner for civil defense over two years, to be reviewed by Parliament.
