GERMAN DEFENCES
LARGE-SCALE PLANS
Received January 29, 1.10 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 28
Within twelve months the reoccupation of the Rhineland and the remilitarisation of Germany’s western frontier will be almost complete, states the Manchester Guardian’s diplomatic correspondent. The huge fortified girdle, in the opinion of experts, can be held with small forces against the entire French and Belgian armies, enabling the main offensive to be conducted elsewhere. it does not follow that Germany has abandoned the idea of a major offensive westward, but the immediate plan seems for eastward expansion. The Conservative, Mr 0.. Simmonds, who initiated last night’s debate in the House of Commons, described the figures of Germany’s air armaments as astronomical as compared with Britain’s Germany had 150 service aerodromes, each with 100 war ’planes, and probably possessed a further 1500 firstclass .aircraft.
