LONDON, June 12.
SPEAKING AT THE resumption of the debate on foreign affairs in the House of Lords to-night, Lord Cecil from the Labour Opposition front bench, said: "I imagine that Lord Halifax would agree that the controversy which is raging in the terrible war in the Far East, is precisely the same controversy as is raging-fortunately not by war-at this moment in Europe.

Military Alliance
TOKYO, June; 13.
"It is this broad question we have to settle: Is it legitimate for a 'country to make aggression on another country in order to carry out what it regards as her material or even political interests; and, ought there to continue a right to make war on the part of any Sovereign State?
THE REAL ISSUE
"That is the real issue and it is being fought out in the Far East. The Japanese invasion of China is being carried out with a ruthlessness which must be the subject of admiration of a certain school in Germany but which OVER 10,000 representatives of would be even impossible in Europe nowadays.

Britain's Answer To Totalitarians

THE "DAILY TELEGRAPH" believes that 750 planes a month is the output of the British acroplane Industry at present. It was hoped that by September the monthly output will have reached 1,000 planes.
Comparing. In the light of these production figures, the strength of the British air force to the air strength of the Totalitarian States, and of Germany in particular, the correspondent declares that the Anglo-French arma- ment programme would not secure the Western Powers' parity in the air.
Collaboration in the air, which in all probality the German and Italian High Command had agreed upon and had been planning already in detail, as well as the superior organisation of the air forces and the requisite industries of the two countries, secured a dominant position for the Axis Powers.
Since England and France alone are unable to com- pete with Germany and Italy, the correspondent demands the closest co-operation with the air forces of Russia and Poland-Trans-Ocean,
