DEMAND FOR LORD FISHER
TO COTJNTER NAVAL SURPRISES IN PREPARATION BY GERMANY CHURCHILL AS AIR MINISTEIt. (Received 11 a.m.) LOJTDON", February 6. The "Observer" strongly advocates the appointment of Mr. Winston Churchill as Minister of Air Services. The paper declares that our air defence is in need of his mental freshness and executive energy.
It also takes up the demand made recently in many quarters that Lord fisher should be recalled to the Admiralty. It says there is no doubt that Germany is preparing surprises, and will make a supreme effort by ingenuity and audaqity to destroy the British sea supremacy. "Lord Fisher," adds the paper, "is the only man living who has beaten Germany at all points and in everything he has been called on to do. The country must have the benefit of his unrivalled technical genius and executive powers."
