NEW YORK, Monday. General Branckner, Controller ot tlio British air equipment, says that if the Allies reorganise and co-ordinate their resources they will be able in tho near future to bomb German cities, and even Berlin. He urged the speeding up of airplane motors. The United State sought Lo have an Air Secretary to organise a great air army. Britain found it' essential to centralise the control of her air forces in order to light the Zeppelins and other aircraft, and develop air strategy. It is certain that the British will be able to bomb Berlin next spring. Huge numbers of aeroplanes were still required before a great Allied air offensive will be undertaken. Britain lacked the capacity for engine production at present. Therefore sho depend-ed-on.the-United States. As the letter has been unable to spare Liberty motors, a large portion of the British air offonsive has been delayed seriously.
