CHURCHILL AGAIN CRIES ALHAMBRA

HAVOC ON ARMAMENTS.

DEMANDS RAPID SPEED-UP IN AIR PROGRAMME

A. slashing attack on the Government's air defence programme was made in the House of Commons yesterday by Mr. Winston Churchill,

Mr. Churchill (says Reuter) once again drew attention to the progress of German rearmament and emphasised her superiority over Great Britain in the air.

He understood that the British programme aimed at 124 complete squadrons by March 31 this year. Deducting 22 in- complete squadrons from the hundred squadrons which the Min-

ister for the Co-Ordination of Defence, Sir Thomas Inskip, said would be completed by that time, we would, he said, have only. 78 complete squadrons..

We would not have parity with Germany in 1937 and he doubted whether we would have it by 1938.

The Germans were believed to possess at least 150 squadrons cach of twelve machines. If the commercial planes of the Luft- hansa were added, they would have 2,000 machines.
