Id. post free). EDITORIAL COMMENT aT is now a matter of five years since FLIGHT first condensed the claim for a separate Air Service into the slogan " One Air Service, one Uniform, one Badge," although we had been press ing the claim for such a service for years before that. The Air Service, with its independent Minister, came into being at last, but ever since the R.A.F. and the Air Ministry have been the subjects of attacks from the older Services, Who refused to admit "One Air the soundness of letting the Air Force Service, develop independents of the Armv and One Uniform,, T r . r A <- , , i r _ One Badge'' Navy. As we were the first to put for ward the demand for the establishment of the Air Service as an independent arm, it was with no small satisfaction that we heard the very strong and convincing statement, by Mr. Chamberlain, in the House during the Debate on the Navy Estimates, of the Government attitude towards the forces which are working for the suppression of the R.A.F. and for its division into separate naval and military flying services. There has been a tendency to doubt whether the Government, when pressed for a decision, would resist the claims of the older Services and take up a strong stand in favour of retaining the R.A.F. as an independent force. Mr. Chamberlain's statement cleared the air at once, and set at rest the minds of those who, having the future of the Empire and the R.A.F. at heart; were somewhat doubtful as to the support which the Government would be prepared to give to our new First Line of Defence, which is actually what the R.A.F. is rapidly becoming. The Navy's claim, as voiced by Rear-Admiral Sir R. Hall, was even less strong than might have been expected, and the gallant Admiral did not succeed in doing more than plead from the peculiarly narrow point of view of the Navy. His arguments were those which the Navy has ever advanced, and he gave an excellent proof of the failure of the naval officer to grasp the real significance of the advent of the Air
