BRITAIN'S SHORTAGE OF DEFENCE FORCES
TURKISH FRONTIER CLOSURE
Ankara, October 15, Turkey will keep her frontier with Bulgaria closed until a satisfactory understanding reached on the return of the Turkish minerity settled Bulgaria, a usually well-in formed source said here today
The Turkish Government's closing of the frontier a week ago marked the heightened tension over the Bulgavion threat to expel 260.000 Turks settled in Bulgaria on their homeland.
The source
caid that the deel- glon to keep the frontier closed would be the main point of a Turkish note to Bulgaria, which had
now been drafted, if not already communicated to But goria.
He added that the note do- clared: "We should sccept on such number of inmigrants as we can accommodate entisfactorily."
London, October 16.
Britain has often boon accused during the past few months of not pulling her weight in in- ternational security. She was little and late in sonding help to Korea, lior critics say. The reason, according to official sources here, is: "You can't fill a quart bottle from a pint jug" --there just aren't enough defence forces to go around.

London, October, 15. Britain's biggest, post-war air games' ended today in what the Air Minister, Arthur Hen- lerson, suid was a demonstra- tion of the machine-ilke inte- gration of Western air power.

Europe.
Strategy pulls Two way at once. To hit a cold war, you need large forces dispersed over wide reb. To prepare for a hot war, you must build up con- centrated reserves, ready to be despatched to battle anywhere. Britain's resources are too small to fight one kind of war while preparing for another, siccording to officials.

Men, money and สนสด are rationed here as severely as beef or butter, and must be spread to cover the Malayan hot war, plus the cold war in Germany, Aus tris. Hong Kong and the Middle func. East, plus the "normal" tons of defending the Empire and shipping routes.
