a month is the output of the British aeroplane Industry at present. It was hoped that by September the monthly output will have reached 1,000 planes..
Comparing, in the light of these production figures, the strength of the British air force to the air strength of the Totalitarian States, and of Germany in particular, the correspondent declares that the Anglo-French arma- ment programme would not secure the Western Powers' parity in the air.
Collaboration in the air, which in all probability the German and Italian High Command had agreed upon and had been planning already in detail, as well as the superior organisation of the air forces and the requisite industries of the two countries, secured a dominant position for the Axis Powers.
Since England and France alone are unable to com- pete with Germany and Italy, the correspondent demands the closest co-operation with the air forces of Russia and Poland-Trans-Ocean.
