AIR SERVICE CRISIS
CONSIDERED BY CABINET
LOOKING FOR A COMPROMISE
SEA TRAINING OF NAVAL
AIRMEN.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTRIGHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN - NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, Ist August.
Cabinet considered the report of the Imperial Defence s Committee, which it is understood favours the Air Ministry having complete control of the air services. It is expected that the Prime .Minister will make a statement in the House uf Commons on Thursday.
The "Morning Post" says that Admiral Beatty attended the Cabinet. It is believed that the Cabinet felt bound to^ accept the committee's report. The " Daily Chronicle " says the majority of Ministers supported the committee, but Cabinet realises the seriousness of the position created by the Admiralty's contention that it should control its own air service, and is endeavouring to devise a compromise whereby the Admiralty shall be responsible for the training of naval airmen, so that they shall' develop a sea sense and be able to do the -work the Navy requires, and that eventually all trained airmen shall pass under the control of the Air Ministry.
