N.Z. PILOTS ENJOY

SCOTLAND

FINISHING THEIR TRAINING IN SCOTLAND IS A GROUP OF NEW ZEALAND PILOTS WHO ARE CONSOLIDATING THE GOOD IMPRESSIONS LEFT BE- HIND BY PREVIOUS AIRMEN FROM THE FARTHEST DOMI- NION.

"The finest bunch 1 ever came across," says their instructor who has had a variety of British pilots pass through his hands.

"These boys are quiet manner- ed with a sense of humour and keen to learn the job. As for sport and games they are the best all-rounders I've ever met."

There are twelve men in the group and their jobs in civil life ranged from sheep farming to stock-broking. Ambition of each of them is to be a fighter pilot.

They have been in England since the New Year, says the Air Mini- stry news service, and in the words of one find it "a fascinating country."

Whenever the weather stops flying they go off on trips to local places of interest and they seem nearly as keen on it as on flying. -British Wireless.

Three prominent Americans broadcasting last night from San Fran- cisco over America's Town Meeting of the Air pro- gramme, expressed the view that a United States' war with Japan is not in- evitable, but argued that immediate measures should be taken to meet the Japanese threat in East Asia.

Speaking on the subject "IS War With Japan Inevitable?", Mr. Chester Rowell, Editor of the "San Francisco Chronicle," warn- ed that war was possible, adding that the United States did not want to court war but would not run away from it.

BULGARIA MOVE OF HITLER MAY BE A FEINT

THE UNUSUAL SUGGESTION that Germany's activity in Bulgaria may be a feint to distract Bri- tain's attention from Africa, is made by the mili tary expert of the Stockholm, newspaper "Tidnin- gens."

The correspondent says the noise in the Balkans should not be allowed to divert attention from the German armoured troops in Libya, and continues:-

"It is far from certain that Balkan events really mean that the first step to attain a decision in the eastern Mediterranean has been taken.

"Perhaps the German plan merely aims at m/eleading "the adversary,"
