AIR RAIDS IN

LONDON

Appeal To Business People

HOME SECRETARY'S VIEWS

Bir John Simon, Home Secretary. emphasised the necessity for air raid precautions, at a luncheon last month of the Special, (Air Raids Precautions) - Committee of the Corporation of the City of London.

He referred to the need for co- operative and active initiative of local authorities, and said that there was no part of the country where this was more needed than in the City-the dentre, the hub and focus of the whole British Empire. An attack upon the City, if that evil ever came, by hostile air forces, would obviously be of world-wide importance and signi- ficance.

He appealed to business people in the City of London to co-operate in schemes which might be found to be wise and necessary after full consultation with the authorities, and a full analysis of the needs. He hoped that where business people had their headquarters in London and branches elsewhere, they would undertake co-operation in such a way as to enable the plans to be carried out in their provin- cial branches no less than in the City Itself, He welcomed the de- monstration of a gas-proof room in the City, as it enabled the pub lic to see what could be done.

EFFICIENCY OF GAS MASKS Urging the necessity for operation between local authori- tles, Bir John said he was con- sclous that in many respects the City of London was an island, but from the air an invader might not be acquainted with the boundaries of the City.

STORM WARNINGS

́LOCAL WARNINGS BY SYMBOLS

A proposal to modify to some extent the issue of storm warn- ings beyond the territory of a meteorological centre was one of the subjects of discussion by the delegates and representatives to the Regional Comintesion 11 of the International Meteorological Organisation which is being held in Hong Kong.

LARGER AREAS WORKED

The following was outlined by Mr. C. W. Jeffries, Director of the Royal Observatory, Hong Kong:--

respect of storm warnings by or- dinary telegraphic means.

During recent years the Royal Observatory, Hong Kong has re- Every community looks towards frained from broadcasting storm its meteorological department for warnings until the storm has en- adequate warning of the approach tored the China Sea or the sea of storms, and until recent years

This course is adopted on many well found ships at the present time, and although broadcast synoptics may occasionally overlap

considerably, this is a matter co-which organisation between the responsible states could speedily remedy. The duplication of station reports in several broadcasts is merely a repetition of the same facta, and although a waste of time, is not calculated to be harm. ful in any way.

He paid tribute to Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd (Under Secretary for Home Affairs), saying that he was a young man who found

out things for himself. "At the begin- ning of the anti-gas school work," he added, "Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd went Into the lethal chamber furnished with one of the new Home Office gas maska, and was subjected to enough chlorine gas to ka normal man in three minutes. He Is a healthy and walking example of what can be done in this mat- ter.

"Though we pray with all our hearts and declare our fervent hope that this abomination may never descend upon British soil." Sir John concluded, "nevertheless we shall show our determination to resist danger from whatever source it comes and vindicate the freedom of our country."

In a voyage from Singapore to Hong Kong, it is pos- sible for a ship master to receive storm warnings from at least 5 cen- tres. These warnings may be in agreement, in which case time is wested in receiving them, while :f there

are any differences, the receiver is likely to experience some confusion, especially if not ir. agreement with his own 'can- clusions.

PROBLEM OF REGULATION

The problem of the regulation of storm warnings is more difficult than the regulation of ordinary meteorological station reports, but 1 it be ádmitted that the station to which a storm centre' is nearest, should have the best means of its local observations, several dif- ficulties disappear. On this prin- ciple it is.suggested that while sil centres should be at liberty to broadcast, at definite times, their general inferences, the issue of storm warning beyond the territory of a meteorological centre, should
