RUGBY, April 6.
In reply to a question in the House of Commons, the Foreign Secretary said that the Government desired by every practical means to avert the menace of attack from the air. In the existing circumstances it considered that this would best be met by the conclusion of an air pact and limitation of air armaments. It would, be recalled that his Majesty's Government proposed at the Disarmament Conference that the best possible scheme should be worked out for the complete abolition of military aircraft, which should be dependent on effective supervision of civil aviation. In another reply, Mr. Eden repeated that, whether in conjunction with an air pact or other means, the Government would continue to work for limitation of national air forces.
