AIR FORCE
BRITISH ACTIVITIES STATEMENT BY MR BALDWIN. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Monday, 8.40 a.m.) LONDON, Sunday. “An 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 Stanley Baldwin, addressing a Unionist demonstration in Ayrshire. “I believe that an increase will make less difficult the task of securing a 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 other material necessary in times of a 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 the most perilous from that viewpoint.”
