AUSTRALIA’S AIR FORCE
EFFICIENCY GOVERNMENT’S AIM. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Night. Sii- Thomas Glasgow, Minister of Defence for Australia, is a passenger on the Niagara. Referring to the report by Sir John Salmond that the Australian Air Force was useless for war Owing to obsolete machines, absence of reserve equipment and the low standard of training, he said the Australian Government had already given instructions for the replacement of the machines in use.
“We fully recognise the importance of aviation as far as Australia is concerned,” he said, “and Australia’s intention is to have her air force thoroughly efficient in every respect.”
