DECISIVE INSTRUMENT OF VICTORY
VIEW OF FIELD-MARSHAL SMUTS.
INVASION OF EUROPE MAY NOT BE NECESSARY.
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright > (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) JOHHANESBURG, August 10. Field-Marshal Smuts stated that South Africa began the war with one air squadron and now had fifteen. The Air Force numbers at least 25,G00 men and women and aims to have 50,000. “Many people think the Continent of Europe must be invaded,” said Field-Marshal Smuts. “I think the invasion has already begun, by air. I am not sure that invasion by land forces will be necessary. I have no doubt that aviation will be a decisive instrument cf victory.”
