A GIANT AIR BASE
VALUE OF AFRICA TO ALLIES (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 25. Declaring that air power could win the war, the deputy air officer com-manding-in-chief in the Middle East, Air Marshal R. M. Drummond, pointed out in an interview with the Cairo correspondent of the Daily Mail that the Allies now had a giant aerodrome nearly 1500 miles long south of Europe. “ England has been truly called the aircraft-carrier of Europe,” he said. “ Let us fill them both with as many machines as we need to attack the enemy at every source of his strength.”
