Canned milk, meats, fruits and
vegetables are required for this
market. and some portion Of the
trade now comes to America. Cal

said to be in steady demand.
The agriculture Of the colony,

chemicals for fertilizers, and for
fighting plant diseases and pests,

the Netherlands East Indies are

 Aviation-NeW Competition May Rival Early Contest to Hold First Place Upon Sea
FRANCE COULD EASILY
 DESTROY BRITISH CITIES
Birkhead Declares Paris Is Fostering. Anti-Ang|ican Sentiment Among People of
 Nation-Says He Refuses to Bury Head Like Ostrich

LONDON, March 22.-The national British alarm over French air su- premacy, with the consequent danger of strenuous and bitter Anglo French h expedition in aerial armaments has become big factor in the European situation.
 The belief is practically unanimous ly expressed here that Britain's peril coupled with suspicion of French de- signs, portends an era of distrust reminiscent of the state of mind and the bids for supremacy witnessed be- tween the English and Germans in naval armament and the French and German in martial preparedness in the period preceding the outbrek of the World war in 1914.
 The present situation was brought to the fore during debates in the house of lords concerning Britain's aerial program during which it was developed that while France had 32 battling planes Britain only had two, Agreement Demanded.
 The only chance of avoiding aerial
 'N~- armament competition between France and England, in the opinion of many. is for the two countries to enter into an agreement similar to the arms facts that grew out of the Washington conference. Members of the British government are under stood to be working on plan for limitation of these armaments..
 tt-ty ,l,..fa l. 7v- T chancellor in the Lloyd George coali- ton cabinet, amplified to the United States Thursday the warning against rench aerial armaments he issued in the house of lords.
 Lord Birkenhead declared:
 Francs could tomorrow. if she wishes destroy London without warning and almost every other English industrial center of popula- ton"
 Stressing the point that the inter- ests of both Britain and France re- quire permanent peace and good un- derstanding, Lord Birlenhead con tinued, but l will not bury my head like an ostrich in the sand and ignore the fact that in an overwhelming number of French generals dislike and distrust of England are being inculcated.
 Sheer At England.
 N He declared that France is engaged in policy which is political first and economic second. Too many in- tluential writers, he continued are daily inIulging in sneers at the ex- pense of England Lord .erkenhead asked what the peril is that neces- sitates France being eight times stronger in the air than Britain, ridi- culing the idea that France wanted 10 be strong Tn the air because of Years of Germany. He urged the formation ct q British air league to cducaN the public to the need for aeriai strength.
 Newspapers unanimously echo the feeling of alarm and the agitation has now reached the point where it is suggested that the seat of the British government must be moved rom London to a more remote posi- tion in the north of England.
 There is greater insecurity in Europe nowHthan at any time since tEe war; declares the Manchester Guardian.
