At tha beginning of 1936, he added, there were only 5,000 territorials anti-aircraft defence. During the crisis, said the War Secretary, Great Britain called out 50,000 territorials, and today the number was still greater. He concluded: "Britain is steadily advancing towards her goal of adequate defence.'—Reuter.
