What Next The Air
Air War?
Sir Archibald ́Sinclair,
Air Minister, in an interview with F. G. H. Salusbury, discusses the prospects for the coming year.
IR ARCHIBALD SINCLAIR, Secre- tary of State for Air, is a minister of considerable charm. This quality of his overlaid our conversation on the pros pects of the war in the air much as the manner of a dentist who smiles as he says:

For we talked of uncomfortable things. I asked uncomfortable questions. To some he had the frankest answers. To others the replies were less frank, because I am not a member of the Government. But it was all done with the charm which-if I may stretch the simile so far-reinforces confidence in the dentist.
This, then, is not going to be an easy year in the air. No one imagines our defeat. On the contrary, our wings
"We intend to reach a point --not soon, but we see the ob- jective as a reasonable one-at which we can inflict on the enemy a rate of casualties which will outweigh in his mind the advantage of night bombing."
"And day bombing? Will there be more great air battles by day?"
"I think so. Certainly, if the Germans want to make a serious effort to defeat us this year. But an aerial invasion would always be the precursor and ac-. companiment of one by soa.

I had one more question,
By BILLIKEN probably the most awkward.
I wanted to know if Sir Archibald was satisfied with the existing co-operation between the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy and the Army-in other words, if certain ancient difficul ties had been smoothed away.
"Certainly. On behalf of the Royal Air Force I can say that I am entirely satisfied with the co-operation which we receive. from the other Services. The operations in Libya were a pat- cern of effective inter-Service co-operation;; NA
"Such co-operation is continu- ous, too, in the work of the Coastal Command, which helps to guard our convoys from sub- marines and air raiders. I know what valuable.work these crews do from personal knowledge of individual squadrons and what fine crews and aircraft the Coastal Command must have to stand up to the conditions of their tasks, particularly in win- ter.
"We are increasing their num bors, and improving their equip- ment. The part they play 18 essential in bringing us our food and supplies."
By one of those happy coin- cidences which work sometimes for the reporter, Sir Archibald had just returned from his dentist when I interviewed him. That is why I began as I did. That is why I feel that Hitler's war on nerves is unlikely to succeed in the Air Ministry.
