DEFENCE: A GUESS

IN A BROADCAST

· HARRISON FORMAN, the American journalist, in another broadcast to the United States from ZBW this morning, described an interview he had had with the G.OC., Major General C. M. Maltby, and referred to American warplanes which are "mysteriously disappearing up country.”

He hinted that should Japan attack Hong Kong she might discover squadrons of these 'planes sud- denly appearing at their backs from "somewhere in Free China."
