" THE Army Council have decided to call on the London Territorial Associations to raise two anti-aircraft brigades to defend London in the event of an air attack."—Daily Paper. This somewhat reminds us of the story of the R.F.C. mechanic who, in the early days of the WTar, when the station was being bombed, got out his revolver, and, in order to get m H a little nearer to the enemy aeroplane, stood up on a petrol- tin while he blazed away with his six-shooter. But, seriously, even this departure gives a little hope as an indication of a move in the right direction—provided the new units are equipped with something other than pop-guns. As a beginning of recognition by the Government of its responsibility, it is to be welcomed, although it does not avoid the need for an aerial defence of London. 383
