BRITAIN GRATIFIED

LONDON, October 16,
Commander. Nicholls, a survivor from H.M.S. Royal Oak, who formerly commanded H.M.S. Dunedin in New Zealand, discussing, at a gathering of Dominion journalists, the possible course of events of the war, declared that a high authority had said that the Dominions' reaction to the immense Empire airtraining scheme had greatly gratified the British authorities. It was difficult to exaggerate the psychological effect of the scheme on the Germans. It was comparable to the effect in the last war when the Germans learned that waves of American soldiers were joining the Allies' ranks and that they were unable to do anything to stop it. It was just the same now with Dominion airmen coming from a place where Germany was unable to impede the development of this vast air potential.
