Air Minister Reveals How Dominions Will Aid-

BRITAIN'S PLAN FOR MIGHTY AIR FORCE

SIR KINGSLEY WOOD, the Air Minister, outlined in the House of Commons recently plans to build British air forces of overwhelming strength.

Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, he said, were to be used to train pilots and produce planes, as they were comparatively free from any risk of enemy interference.

Lord Riverdale, with a technical staff, is heading a mission now in Canda to meet corresponding mis- alons from Australia and New Zea- land, and to discuss matters with the Canadian authorities

The national warplane production, in due course Sir Kingsley said, would be more than twice the con siderable gure already reached,

Outlining the part played by the N.A.F. In the war to date, he pald tribute to the men who had already lost their lives and quoting a molto of one of our mir squadrons -- "Į spread my wings and keep my pro- inlse" sald that that undoubtedly was their brave spirit and purpose. He paid tribute also to the men who had stood by at war stations, and to the work of the Coastal Command.

"The magnitude of the effort of the¦ Coastal Command," he said "may be Judged by the fact that during the first four weeks of war, this Com- mand flew on reconnaissance, anti- submurine and convoy patrols, a dis- tance of approximately one million miles and provided al escorts far over one hundred convoys (Cheers). 34 Attacks

While Berlin Slopt

DURING his speach, Sir Kingsley Wood told this story:

"The Gorman official bul- lotin, in acknowledging a flight over Berlin, would have tho world bellova that the Berlin citizens slept quietly during its prograss.

"Our airmen, on their return, spoke of the firing and the Boarchlights they encountered. so we can only conjecture that the people of Berlin must be very heavy sleepers. Next day. we may hope that they ware wakeful enough to peruso what Hitler describes

He referred to German claims of Allled planes shot down and to the "mysterious affair 1 Friedrichs- hafen," where the Germans said eight French planes were destroyed.
