ROYAL AIR FORCE
London, Dec. 14. Group Captain Sidney Smith, D.S.O., AF.C., who has retired at his own request, has had more than 26 years' service in the Army and RAF, and last served in com- mand of Boscombe Down Atation for two years up to January, 1935.
He was an officer of the Army Veterinary Corps, T.F., from 1900 to 1912, when he exchanged into the East Anglian Brigade, T.F. Mobiliz el as captain when the War broke out, he learnt to fly at Norwich in | 1915, and served with distinction in | France, gaining the French Croix de Guerre with Palm, 1918, the D.8.Q., 1917, and the AF.C., 1918. {From April, 1918, be held the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He served in Germany up to 1934-27, on air staff (armoured car) duties, and Egypt in 1927-29 both on command and I staff duties.
Whatever, he said, they thought about the League of Nations-and personally he was not very crazy about it-they had undertaken great obligations, and as long as Britain was a member of the Lea- gue the obligations of that mem- bership had to be fulfilled. Col- lective action was one thing, col- lective security was another, but collective action without force behind it was, in his view, sheer folly.

He was glad that the Govern- ment had awakened to the fact that we were not only losing in- fluence in the councils of the world, but we were in a danger- ous and dcult position unless we put our defences in order.--..
Wolsey and Peace
Sir Roger said that in "Cardinal Wolsey," by Mandell Creighton,, formerly Bishop of London, there 2 passage which said that was Wolsey was a peace minister be- cause he knew that England had nothing to gain by war. He had striven to keep the peace of Europe by means of England's mediation. "Wolsey it stated] hoped more from diplomacy. than diplomacy could do. Advice and intuence can do something to check the outbreak of war, when war is'not very seriously designed, but in proportion as great interests are concerned attempts at mediation are useless unless they are backed by force. England was not pre- pared for war and had no troops by whom she could pretend to en- force her counsels...Wolsey was only the first of a long series of English ministers who have met the same disappointments with from the same reason......When a crisis comes England has ever been slow to recognize its inevitableness. And her habit of hoping for peace has placed her in an undigniled attitude for a time, has drawn" up- on her reproaches for duplicity. and has been involved "in war against her will"
That, said Eir Roger Keyes, was written in 1888. It gave a vivid pic- ture of the "slination to-day." The London Treaty did induite harm because for the first time in our hisory, Great Britain allowed her; self to be restricted in her only sure defence.
