India's Air Defence Unaltered For Ten Years. RUSSIA I2f STRIKING REACH. (Received 9.30 a.m.) CALCUTTA, March 9. The dangers of an inadequate air defence in India were stressed by Mr. Arthur Moore, in the Legislative Assembly at Delhi. He said that India's air strength had remained stationary at eight squadrons for nearly 10 years, but the air arms of other modern Powers were developing enormously, particularly Russia, whose aeroplanes were capable of flying over towns and cities in the Punjab and returning to their base the same day. Mr. , G. R. Tottenham, Army Secretary, announced that the whole question of India's air strength had been referred to the Committee of Imperial Defence.
