RUSSIA COULD RAID THE PUNJAUB.
CALCUTTA, Alar eh 9
The dangers of the inadequate air defence of India were stressed by Sir Arthur Moore in tho Legislative Assembly at Delhi. He said 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 in .Russia, whose aeroplanes were capable of flying over the towns and cities of the Punjaub and returning to their base the same day.
Colonel G. It. Tottenham, Army Secretary, announced that the whole question of India’s air strength would be referred to the Committee of Imperial Defence.
