"I once went to interview him," said Col. Moore- Brabazon, "and found him interviewing four people at once and quite coherently.

"He had a telephone in one hand and was talking to America and at the same time was order- ing his hairdresser to come round and cut his hair in his office."

Col. Moore-Brabazon hoped that ultimately every single machine from the United States would deliver itself by air.

He declared it was easy to raid London from France.

than anything which had been produced in America.

These very big aeroplanes had given trouble which, considering their intricacies, was only to be expected. They were, however, now flying and getting better every day.

The debate concluded without a division being challenged.

Trends Of Criticism

Mr. Churchill listened to parts! of the debate, which combined: many criticisms with unanimous

of belief that expressions

pro- duction would be fully organised. Members assumed Mr. Chur. chill would note the chief trends of criticism and that further action will follow.

It was in that belief that the House was allowed to be adjourn. ed without challenging the Esti- mates for which the debate had taken place.-Reuter.

Americans were in Britain to maintain and service American built 'planes and British techni- clans were going over to the U.S.A. to become acquainted with their machines.

as

The second day of the debate revealed further criticism of organsation both as regards man- power

and output as well allegations as to the quality of certain types of war material,

Most serious of these, which Ligut, Brabner spoke of on Wed- nesday, concerned allegations of inefficiency and insufficiency of tanks and guns in Greece and: Crete. These allegations were referred to again yesterday.

Replying to the debate, the i Minister for Aircraft Production said he did not accept the imputa- tion to the lack of efficiency in tanks used in Crete and Greece, nor that there were not enough aeroplanes in the Middle East. Regarding suggestions

that

there were many different types of aeroplanes of American manu- facture in Britain, Col. Moore.

House Brabazon reminded the

that French orders had been taken over and a good deal of al terations had been done to make these machines suitable for the R.A.F. They were now, how- ever, being sent to operational centres and were doing great work.

"I am not saying there are 'not too many types and I should like to see fewer types from the point of view of manufacturing."

Dive-Bombers

The Minister said his duty was to supply aeroplanes asked for by the Services and as regards criticisms relating to the supply of dive-bombers, he said the Army had not yet asked him for them:

They were not machines they wished to operate at the present time but on this matter opinions were fuld and it might be that they will be wanted.

Speaking of the big bomber the Minister said this type was "a new asronautical conception algopather, Amachine was wanted which would fly to Berlin and back and carry on onormous load of tons of bomba.
