Thinks Raids Over London Prove
Necessity Of Cutting Down Arma-

London, Aug. II OFF the recent
air manoeuvers over London have
proved anything. they have proved
that cutting down of armament of
the air is most urgent in the orin-
ion of David Lloyd George. the.
liberal leader.
Commenting in an Evening Star
interview on the lessons of the air
manoeuvers which many experts
declare revealed that London was
vulnerable to an air attack, Lloyd
George said:
1T is horrible TO think of what
war in the air will mean in the flu
ture. 1t will be devastation, an
Notwithstanding less"
The liberal leader said that the
whole thing showed that pacts
are not the slightest use unless you
tackle disarmament 1t is useless
to have pacts as long as nations are
perfectlng the machinery of de-
struction, 1t is bound to end soon
er or later in smash. OF all the
ornaments that should be cut down,
armament of the air is the most
urgent"
