BRITAIN’S AIR FORGE
“ It- came as a surprise to many members,” says Iroaidon ‘Truth,’ “to hear that, when we have settled with Germany, it is intended to maintain a peace establishment for -the air service of 5,300 otliceis and 54,000 men, the number of squadrons at mobilised strength being 102. As it is with the Navy, eo it is with the Ah’ Force. Whom aw.all these men designed to fight, seeing that the Germans arc not to ha allowed to have any military air service at all ? Cart it lie ’ seriously said that this force is necessary for the purposes incidental to the army of occupation ? It a-lmcet looks as if our rulers had come to think that, as wo must have a national bankruptcy, we may as well spend all we can before the official receiver takes possession.”
