BERLIN AIR DEFENCES

DOUBLED FOR THE OCCASION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, November 10. If the suggestion that the air defences of the German capital have been doubled to try to prevent British air attacks on military objectives there during the visit is true, it shows a very delicate attention on the part of Nazi observers for the comfort of their distinguished visitor, though one of which the recipient will probably have to mark his appreciation of the intention rather than its fulfilment. To judge by articles in the organ of the Red Army, Moscow is by no means badly informed on the progress of the air war and the show of pyrotechnics staged for his benefit is not likely to deceive so shrewd and detached an observer as M. Molotov, either as to the considerable present effectiveness of R.A.F. attacks German military potential or as/ entree to which the German ni _ Sflchine will lie open to destrui! affin the addition of numerical siipeV/ityl to the present moral ascendancy K <lie British Air Force overwhelms Goering’s squadrons.
