With a nucleus Of 1900 planes
and a promise of more thar
10000 within a few years, thu
gigantic air power of Soviet Rus
STA constitutes a danger for thu
entire world" Lieutenant Colone
Baron Won Buelow. member of thu
Reichswehr ministry, charged to
day. He said:
"SOviet RuSSia's air force rep
resents the most efficient in
strument for the Third Interna-
tiOnal to carry out its ultimate
aim to overthrow the govern
ments of all countries and
spread world revolution to the re
hottest corners of the globe.
AIR FORCE YELLED
''WhiIe the Russian govern.
ment has spread an almost i'm
penetrable veil over its air
force, reliable information esti-
mates the present strength at 70
flight sauadrOns and 80 indie
pendent squadrons, with a total
Of 1900 machines.
"Of this number 5000 CONF
prise the first line, ready for
immediate action, and LOO the
second line of war planes. Dur
ing the second five-year plan
the number of planes was to be
increased to 5000. Some infOr-
nation indicates this number
already may have been at
tanned.
I'm a few years Soviet Russia
will have more than 10000 air
planes and thereby gain an of
fenSive power which no COM
bination or alliance of other
mir forces could match. Almost
inexhauStible personnel and
material reserves, natural re-
sources and fuel supplies com.
bine to supply a firm basis Tor
the maintenance and increase
of this gigantic air Organiza-
ton.

'In more than so flying
schools of the military air
force and through development
Of the OSSOaviachim (civilian
air organization with more than

places in a reservoir of flying
personnel able to supply even

"SOviet air offensive in a
future war would be directed
against either one of the follow

British Empire in the South
and Central Europe in the West.
READY FOR ATTACK
"The biggest and most eff
cient Soviet bOmberS, between
800 and 400 of them, have been
concentrated in VladivOstOk,
and are ready at any time for
an attack against the industrial
centerS of Japan, which lie we'll

Between 500 and 500 planes are
concentrated in the Amur area
along the Manchurian border,
threatening the JAPANESE CONT

mo less dangerous is Britain's
position in the air on the north
west frontier of India, as well

Iraq.

tensity to forge the weapons for
another world war"
