British Premier Announces
Plan to Spend $4,000, 900
More in Aerial Defense.
nv DAWN NJ CUvTRCH
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
International News seryice.

LONDON, Aug. S.-Great Britain
has decided to provide a home de-
fense air force Of 500 airplanes,
Premier Lloyd George announced in
the House of Commons this after.
noon.
It has been decided further to
spend an additional so, 900, 900 an
nually to protect England from the
air.
Premier Lloyd George said that
the incprased sums spent on British
air defenses next yeyar would not
prevent the Government from reduc-
ing the war budget.
A large section of the British press
has been clamoring for weeks for
Government action to strengthen the
air defenses.
II has been pointed out by the
newspapers and by officials of the
army and navy that France is the
only nation In a position to attack
Great Britain by air and all were
very careful to say that no danger
is felt from that quarter. 1t is this
circumstance which adds mystery 10
the public demand for strengthened
air defenses.
Gen. Sir Frederick Maurice, di.
rector Of military operations at the
war office during the world war, de-
clared in an interview that he be.
lieved that It was wiser to increase
the navy rather than the air forces,
but this view is not generally hell,
Maj. Gen. J. E. B. Seely, former
secretary Of state for war and
under minister of air, described
the condition of Great Britain's
air defenses as "deplorable." He
said that Great Britain was tagging
behind the other powers. He said
he had been urging the govern
ment for two years to take ac-
ton.
Major General See.y failed to ex'
plain from what source he he
iieved Great Britain to be menaced.
