AIR STRENGTH
 OF FRANCE IS
 CAUSING WORRY
Weakness of Air Strength of Great Britain Is Brought
 Out-France Is Rival.

LONDON. March 30.-Britain'S weaknes in air defense again oc- cupies public attention. and the government is being urged to give serious and immediate attention to the strengthening of that arm of Englands fighting forces. In an ar ticle~ in the Daily Telegraph Major c. c. Turner. a well known air ex- pert, compares Brit2in's.. air equip ment with that of France and de- clares that the British .are incred- ibly weak in this respect, consider ing their geographical Situation and their responsibilities.
 Major Turner proceeds to give some interesting figures respecting Frances growing airplane resources, and says France easily is mistress of the air of the world. That country he says, according to authoritative information available in Paris, will have total of 220 air squadrons by fae end of the present year. This means 2.200 airplanes in the first line. with pro portionate reserves and with the necessary transport, medical and ether auxiliary services. The French government is actuated by the con sideration that the strategic situa- tion of France makes her more open to attack by land and sea than any ether western power, and it feels. therefore, that as her military pow CT diminishes it is necessary that her air power be increased

 Frances war reserve in the air service, Major Turner continues, Is about 4,s0o airpanes of various types. with the necessary means of supply and maintenance "In the ieieyen months assied Nov. 80. 1922" he writes, French airplane manufacturers turned out 3,300 machines. including a few required for export.
 ''The total number of British ac- tive air squadrons is thirty-two, of which the greater number are abroad. This makes deplorable showing as against Frances more than 200 squadrons'
 The British expert then says that aerial warfare as conducted in 1914 1918 was child's place compared
