 London. June 2s,-Premier Bald pin announced in the house of com mons this afternoon that the gov ernment had decided to establish a home defense air service force snf' feiently strong to defend the country adequately from attack by the strongest force within striking dis- tance.
 The premier said the home defense force would consist of b2 sausdrons to be created as soon as possible. This would add 34 squadrons to the author i,ed strength of the royal air force.
 Mir. Baldwin concluded by stating that Great Britain, in conformity with her obligations under the covenant Of the league of nations. would gladly cooperate with other governments in limiting the strength of air arma- ments on lines similar to the treaty of Washington.
 Arthur Ponsonhy, labor member, asked:
 Whether this new competition in armaments would not eventually lead to the same consequences as the last
 NO. I hope not" replied the pre- mier. T hope that long before that date arises there may be some agree ment in regard to limitation"

II Is hoped that the oppressive heat of the last few days will again remind New Britain people Of the fact that they should be donating 10 the most worthy philanthropy in the city, the Fresh Air Farm.

Over 500 "child weeks" will be put in in the n ost healthful and cheerful sur roundings possible to obtain, Children who need if the most, from a physi- cal standpoint, and who are least likely to get 1t. from a financial stand point will be taken 10 the country for the outing.
 There Is no rent to pay for the fsrm buildings they stand on city property There is no transportation 10 account for. that is furnished by public spirit ed members of the Rotary club. Su- pervision charges at the farm are small, many of the workers do SO out of pure enjoyment. others work for a small wage Food, of course. is not stinted and the greater part of the donors dollar goes toward purchasing such edibles as will be of the greatest benefit to the children. A little goes to supervision little towards equip ping the camp with permanent equip ment. such things a dishes and cook ing utensils that must often be re- placed.
 It would be difficult indeed to find spot where more direct results may be achieved for a given amount of money, 1t would be impossible to send 300 children to any other spot for giving them medical attention as well as board and rooms Yet there could be no more enjoyable vacation place than the. one that Is available, there could be none more healthful. The children are the ones who need the time in the open the most, the money now spnt actually saves money in the long run.
 The public of New Britain is urged to take upon itself the duty of col lecting enough money to keep the farm running every year duty which 1t has gratefully assumed in the past. There Is need of funds about half the necessary amount has been raised. Those who wish to contribute are asked to send the amount. what ever it is. to the Fresh Air Editor of the Herald.

 As far as the attending physician has been able to determine. the little girl has not been out of the city for some time past. nor has she been able to find any instance when she was in the company of anyone coming from outside New Britain. The source of the infection is as yet mystery.
