berlain government replied today to
bitter charges that it's aerial re-arma-

promise that Britain would have near
ly $500 first line war planes by
March, 1910.
This would double the previous OBJ
jective of 1850 first line planes in
service by March, 1889.
The figures were announced in the
House of Commons by Earle Winter
ton, deputy air minister, after Prime
Minister Chamberlain himself had
promised a remarkable increase" in
plane production when he addressed
a rally of Conservative party women.
Winterton said the figures included
2.27O planes at home 400 overseas and
at least 500 for the navy. By first line
planes he meant craft capable of &C
tive military service.
There was a powerful movement
in Commons based on demands that
Britain equal or surpass Germany )
