WAR NOT NEARER.
Mr Baldwin Justifies Air Force Increase. LIMITATION OP ARMAMENTS. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received Julv 23, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, July 22. “ The increase in the offensive Air Force does not mean that the Government is panicking or going to war, that war is nearer, or that our desire for peace is less urgent.” declared Mr Baldwin when addressing a Unionist demonstration in Ayrshire. “ I believe that the increase will make less difficult the task of securing limitation .of armaments.” Referring to -the development of new industries in Scotland, Mr Baldwin said: "I. am no scaremonger, but surely it is worth while for the manufacturers of aircraft and the other material that is necessary in times of crisis, to look to those parts of the country most remote from the perils of aerial warfare instead of London, which is always bound to be most perilous from that viewpoint.
