INDIA’S AIR STRENGTH
DANGEROUSLY INADEQUATE, REFERENCE IN ASSEMBLY. (Received 10, 10.30 a.m.) Calcutta, March 9. The dangers of the inadequate air defence of India were stressed by Mr. Arthur Moore in the Legislative Assembly at Delhi. He said that India’s air strength had remained stationary at eight squadrons for nearly ten years, but the air arms of other modern Powers were developing enormously, particularly Russia, whose aeroplanes were capable of flying over the towns and cities of the Punjab and returning to their base the same day. Mr. G. R. Tottenham, Army Secretary, announced that the whole question of India’s air strength would be referred to the Committee of Imperial Defence.
