WASHINGTON, JULY 31. VAST INTERNATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE IS ATTACHED TO MRTANLEY BALD- WIN'S STATEMENT ON BRITISH AIR DEFENCE POLICY IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS LAST NIGHT WHICH IS CONSIDERED TO BE A STUDIED REFLEC TION OF THE VIEWS OF THE CABINET AND THE GENERAL STAFF.
In effect, Mr. Baldwin placed Britain's frontier for air defence purposes at the Rhine, and this, it is felt, will be followed by closer Anglo-French relations. Diplomats here hail Mr. Baldwin's "Rhine frontier declaration" as putting upon official record what statesmen of the world have been thinking, and saying unofficially, for a decade--that the aeroplane has moved national defence frontiers far beyond the ordinary political frontiers,
