KENYA NATIVES
RAISING FUNDS FOR PLANES. DEFENCE OF THE “KING'S HOUSE.” (British Official Wireless.) ■ RUGBY, November 5. Native subjects in Kenya want aeroplanes "to defend King George s house.” and latest cables from Nairobi state that the Kiambu Native Council has subscribed £1603 toward the purchase of a fighter and, with £10,075 already put up by tribes of the central provinces, this enables the purchase of at least two fighters. The idea of the purchase of aircraft came spontaneously from the Africans and. though they were warned that their planes might be destroyed on their first flight, they replied: “We know what may happen, but we know they will bring down several enemy planes with them.”
