EFFECT OF FIRST AIR ATTACKS IN NEXT WAR United Press Association.—By Elec trie Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Friday, 7.20 p.m. LOS ANGELES, July 21. Sir Keith Smith, before leaving on the Monterey, stated that Australia was being prepared as a major source of munitions supply for Britain in the event of war. He added: “Having Just come from Europe I can tell you the position Is definitely very critical, but England is now quietly confident that she can handle the situation if it comes.” Sir Keith expressed the opinion that while the first attack on British and French cities would be terrible so many Nazi squadrons would be expended that tbe air war would soon become stalemated to a point where tbe British fleet and the French army would exert telling pressure.
