BRITISH DECIDE
ON HUGE AIR

Baldwin Announces Plan to
Match Biggest Within Strik-

Continued from First Page)

Continued from First Page)
It was anticipated that Premier
Baldwin would announce a big in
crease in both the active and re.
serve British air forces. There has
been insistent demand in the press
for such action.
Reports from Paris as to the
huge and formidable air establish
ment being built up by France had
caused a scare in some British
circles.
Within two years the French ex-
pect to have 1000 military planes
In commission, with 5000 more in
reserve. 1t Is reported. 1t IL feared
that France will have an air force
of nearly 5000 planes within a few
years, all of them capable of going
into action upon SO hours notice.
British Cnnerved.
Such reports unnerved the Brit.
ish and added to the strength of
the campaign started several months
ago for a big increase in the Brit
ish air forces. Lord Birkenhead
has constantly warned Britain she
Is endangered from the air."
Similar warnings have been printed
in the Daily Chronicle, political
organ OF former Premier David
Lloyd George.
Posters, emblazoned with warn.
ings, have appeared all over Lon.
don. Some, used in recruiting cam
paigns, contained some inscriptions
as:
Don't wait for war! Join now!
The London territorial air defense =
Meanwhile. The British have b/sn
carrying on the old argument as to
the effectiveness of the battleship
against the airplane. France did
not waste much time in making a
decision. The French military and
naval staffs decided that the effec-
tive weapon OF the future Is the
plane, not the battleship.
French aerial experts are said to
have plans for a new long-range,
all-metal heavy bombing plane,
which, used with ceaseless agrees
sion, could sweep both the English
channel and Mediterranean, render
ing the navies powerless.
The channel ports are the key to
England's defenses.
