Referring to Dominion co-opera tion, Sir Kingsley Wood said "Nothing has given us greater encouragement since the war began than the keen desire of all parts of the Empire to play an effective part in air defence, I am thinking not of the Dominions and India but of the Colonies. Today, the whole strength of the Empire is being marshalled, and there is no doubt that the great Dominion effort of 25 years ago will be largely exceeded in the present conflict."
Sir Kingsley Wood announced the rapid expansion of training school facilities in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and said the young men trained would join either the air force squadrons in one Dominion theatre of operation or British R.A.F, units. This undertaking was one of great magnitude, and its development would result in a very great and rapid increase in the number of training schools, mission from England, headed by Lord Riverdale, who would be aided by a specially selected technical staff, was already on the way to Canada to meet corresponding missions from Australia and New Zealand, These missions would discuss with the Canadian authorities all further steps to be taken for the rapid execution of undertakings.
