Fine Hockey Victory.
Macao, Mar, C. A very evenly-contested hockey match between the team of the Rajputana luftes
the Macao and eleven wus witnessed here this after- noon by a large crowd. The visiting team won by two goals to mil.
Play was extremely fast from the outset, a raid upon the home goal being made within the frat minule, Rosario, at back, was particularly accurate in his timing.
Both teams were in fine form, and the home forwards managed to keep the ball most of the time in enemy territory. On several occasions, tactical manoeuvres enabled Ramaiho, Lyle and Nolasco, working in close combination, to break through only to be repelled.

"Snare And Delusion"
"To attempt to measure air power and air strength by the first line of defence is a snore and delusion. We must look at defence problems as a whole and from the wider aspect, and ta take the aggregate value of
resources."
Dealing with the question: "What is the policy for which these pro- grammes are designed?", the Prime Minister said: "The corner-stone of our defence policy be security
for the United King That was
the Brst main effort. They must nino have as second objective the preservation of trade routes on which Britain depends for her food and raw meterials. The third objective-was defence of British territories from the sea, land and air Britain's need overseas to maintain gorrisons and

"But they are not so vital as the defence of our country, because, long as we are undefeated at home, even if we sustain a loss overseas, we may have an opportunity of mak- ing good afterwards."
Fourth Objective
"The fourth objective must be co-operation in the defence of allies' territories. These objectives have been before us in the preparation of the Service programmes."
Coming to the question of cost, Mr. Chamberinin said: "One thing we
the can say is that
£1,500,000,000 previously contemplated is sufficient. It is too soon to say what figure must be substituted, but I am afraid the House must expect a sub- stantial advance."
Proceeding to refer to their efforts for appeasement, the Premier said: "It ought to be known that our desire for peace does not signify willing- ncss to
purchase peace to-day at the Nor price of peace for the future can we forget our moral responsibl- lity to our people or humanity in general. We cannot divest ourselves of an interest in world peace."
In another passage Mr. Chamber- lain claimed to be a better friend of the League of Nations than some of those

Referring to the Opposition criticism of the armaments pro- gramme, the Premier said: "The sight of this enormous, almost terrify- ing power which Britain is building up has a sobering and steadying effect on world opinion."-Reuter.
