REPLIES TO CRITICISM

Before the vote Sir Thomas In- sklp, minister for defence co- ordination, replied to criticism of the Royal Air Force. The vast majority oi squadrons were fully equipped. he said. Some were not "but that is inherent in the diffi- culty oi obtaining su plies."

The cornerstone o the defence policy must. be the security oi the United Kingdom, Mr. Chamberlain declared.

"Our main strength lies in re- sources. man power, productive cap- the endurance o. this country. and unless these can be maintained not oily in peace but in the earlier stages of war when they will be surbiiect to continuous at- tack. our defeat will be certain, whatever might be our fate in sec- ondary spheres elsewhere."

Emphasiz

ing the necessity for stro defence oi the United King- dom. e continued.

In war time there would be sub- stantial demands for reinforcements to be sent to strategic points on what might be called imperial du-

es.

"But taking them in order of pri- ority, they are not so vital as the defence of our own country. As long as we are undefeated at home, even though we may sustain losses over- seas, we may have the opportunity of making them good thereafter."
