EMPIRE AID
Comment By Premier
The special forces raised in Australia and New Zealand had now received intensive training, and would shortly take their place where they were needed most, said the Prime Minister, Mr. Chamberlain, in his statement in the House of Commons reviewing the war. Agreement had been completed on details of the Empire air training scheme, and there was now no obstacle to that great enterprise. Newfoundland had offered several hundred men for patrol duty with the Royal Navy, and was raising more men.
In India, more people had offered themselves for enlistment than could be accepted at present. In Palestine, he added, in spite of intensive German progapanda, the situation was calmer than it had been for some years.
