Mr. Boner Law in reply said little more than that
there was a genuine difference of opinion between General Seely and tho Government, and that if the House of Commons wanted to discuss the whole matter, an opportunity would be found. For our part, we cannot pretend that we feel so strongly about the necessity of the Air Ministry having complete independence as we did during the war. The speedy development of the Air Service was then essential. Now, though we cannot encourage the violent reactionary feelings of those who would rush to the opposite extreme of war and practically scrap our fighting Services, we see that when the country is beset by so many and great dangers we must spend our money first on meeting those which are most pressing The most pressing dangers to-day are not military.
