By WEBB MILLER (Copyright. 1937. by United Press)

LONDON, April 7.—-Great Britain, fearing that in the ‘next war” her vulnerable little island will be subjected to aerial bombardments

vastly more terrible Lhan those of the World War, is working overtime to catch up and koep pace with the continental powers in the air armaments race. Britain awoke to with a rude shock. The sudden, disconcerting revelation. just | two years ago that <Ciermany | had stealthily achieved air parity startled her into furious action. So deep is the military secrecy of the dictatorial naiions that the British Intelligence Service | was badly deceived, and only four months before the discovery, Prime Minister Stanley Baidwin was led into informing the House of Commons that Britain w:s 50 per ¢ent superior to Germany in air strength.
