Sir Archibald Sinclair, in his •.pooch to-day, said that o\or 1000 Italian pianos had been destroyed. Leaving out the monthly output, the Italians had lost half the first-lino air strength with which they entered the war. The Minuter quoted a letter from Mannheim dealing with the R.A.F. attacks. It said: "We spent seven hours in a cellar. Oxer 200 planes lained l>oinbs on the town. There were lires everywhere. The oil mill was set on tire. Wo had no and no water. We cannot tell you what we have undergone. If it gees on like this the people will be finished."
The Minister also quoted from a letter which a supporter of General de (.aulle had received from France. It >-aid: "We congratalate your English colleagues. I observed the precision of their bombing. They destroyed 11 "rounded planes."'
