VOICE FROM THE SKIES
Aerial police, riding the air in Iran, iin North-west India, and certain parts of Africa, have adopted the loud speaker as a means of addressing lawless and unruly tribesmen creating disturbances on the ground below. R.A.F. aeroplanes for these areas are being' fitted with loud speakers, whose amplified warnings can be heard a mile away. Messages in the language of the people warn them of their wrongdoing, and of the probable consequence of persistence in misbehaviour. This improves on the old method of dropping leaflets, which many of the natives could not read. But how aweinspiring it must be to primitive people to hear this great voice coming to them out of the skies. The value of a little mystery is never to be overlooked when dealing with unruly native people.
