Aerial defenes and the importance of securing international agreement on the stbjret of aerial armaments were discus

by both Houses of Parliament recently. Sir Jos SIMON in the Commons en phasized the terrible-menage' which unres. tricted neriak warfare would constitute in the next campaign, and appealed for in effort to arrive at an international limita tid, V any rate regarding bambing machines.

This appeal received the cordial support of Sir Samuel Hoare, whoo was Air Min- ister in the last Government Sir Samuel declared his belief that the only practical was not in reduction of air arma- solution nents, but in prohibition of air warfare altogether.
