MED FOR AN AIR FORCE
GENERALtIEIOBIN EMPHATIC. {Pμ Übttbo Paxss AesociATioß.l WELLINGTON, July 26. Wo must havo an air force," said General Robin in proposing a vote of thanka to Colonel Bettington, R.A.F., Adviser of Aonal Defence to the New Zealand Government, who addressed the officers of the Garrison Club last night. Sir Alfred Robin added: "If we don't have machines to engage enemy machines in tho event of invasion, we must havo anti-aircraft defence, and that would cost as much as aeroplanes, and, in my opinion, be less effective. There will be plenty of chances for young New Zealandors to take part in this branch, of tho service."
