MENACE OF THE AIR
THE BOMBING PLANE CONQUEST WOULD BE GREATEST AID TO PEACE (British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, December 1. (Received December 2. at 11.30 a.m.) The debt which the Air Ministry owes to science was commented on by Sir Kingsiley Wood at the 267th anniversary dinner of the Royal Society. He said the Ministry was proud to know that no fewer than 44 fellows of the society were members of committees appointed by the Ministry or in which the Ministry was closely interested. The scientific staff at the Air Ministry had been trebled in the last two or three years, and there were still vacancies to be filled. It was almost impossible to estimate what scientists and research workers might achieve in relation to the menace of the air, he said. One of the greatest contributions to peace and the happiness of mankind would be the conquest of the bombing aeroplane, and he did not despair of that being achieved.
