last

when

announced

with

As
to

which
might
be
maintained
at
Prince

General
Wor

was
non
-
committal.
Pressed
for
a
statement
as
to
anti-aircraft
defences,
he
commented:
"We
are

It
Is

Anti-aircraft,
being
mobile,
can

quickly.
Sites
which
have
been
used
for

guns
during
the

he
intimated,
would
be
relinquished."
General

give

as
to
what
the
strength
o.f
the

at

was

it

added
that
