MR CHURCHILL’S WARNING

BORNE OUT BY EVENTS . DEFENCE OF AERODROMES. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) RUGBY, January 8. In his statement on the war situation in the House of Commons, Mr Attlee said Mr Churchill had gone to Washington to enable the greatest possible unity between the two countries in matters of strategy and supply, and he instanced as one of the results of the Prime Minister’s visit the pledges of 26 nations to stand together in support of the principles of the Atlantic Char-, ter. Mr Attlee briefly reviewed events in Libya and Russia, and, turning to the Far East, said the warning which Mr Churchill given that we would have to suffer considerable punishment, but that we should defend ourselves everywhere with the utmost vigour, in close co-operation with the United States and the Netherlands, had been borne out by events.

Mr Attlee said that as a result of a careful study of campaigns overseas and conditions likely to occur in any attempted invasion of Britain, the Government had decided that in future the R.A.F. would, under military direction, undertake the entire defensive arrangements at aerodromes in Britain and the corps undertaking this task would be called the R.A.F. Regiment.
