›VITAL DEFENCE MARRIAGE BILL
FACTOR
"No Provision"
An Important speech urging that the Nava Air Arm should be Flaced completely under the com- trol of the Admiralty was made in the House of Commons recently, by Vice-admiral E. A. Taylor, Conservative M.P. tor South Pad- dington, states the Evening Stan-
dard.
As so much space was occupied in the morning newspapers by reports of the speeches of Minis ters on the state of Britain's de- fence forces, and little remained for the comments of private mem-" bers, the "Evening Standard" to-
day publishes some of the most strikng passageч of Vice-admiral
Taylor's speech. He said:
"The Smuts Committee of 1917 was really responsible for the creation of a separate Air Ministry, and it is important to remember that the speciac purpose of its
creation was to counteract air
raids in this country.

But it has taken the Air Ministry longer to deliver some of the specially made machines than it takes the Admiralty to have a battleship designed and bullt some seven years. That is hardly a satisfactory state of affairs.

The Fleet Air Arm is an integrai part of the Fleet, and uniess the efficiency of the Fleet is to be sacrificed, material and personnel cannot be removed from it, what- ever the cause may be.
The Navy might just as well be called upon to surrender the guns of the Fleet because there is a shortage of guns on shore.

So unsatisfactory has this ques- tion of personnel proved to be in practice, that the Admiralty have great difficulty in obtaining suf- ficient naval officers to folunteer us pilota.
Flying officers in the Fleet Air Arm, belonging to the Navry, are not satisfied that their chances of promotion are as good as those of their brother oicers in other spe- |·cialised branches of the Navy.
The Air Ministry have absolutely declined to allow petty naval of-. ficers to qualify as pilota...
