Air Rearmament Aim Outlined

LONDON. Nov, 2-—(CP)—Great Britains air rearmament is aimed “to create and maintain an air force which Will form an effective deterrent and HSSIITRIICG of peace and which. in the unhappy event- of war, would be able to meet a potential enemy on equal terms," the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Simon, told the House of Commons today.

Sir John, as govemment spokes- man in the absence of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, re- plied to a question from Captain Harold Balfour, Conservative, re- garding the increase of continen- tal air ﬂeets in the last 18 months.

Vitamin Requirements

Oi all the various constituents of the diet the vitamins appear to be the most important growth promoting factors, also play an essential role in breeding and in the production of iur qualities of foxes in captivity. Experiments are being carried out to determine the influence of the various vita-

During the gestation period vitamins B, A and D ap- pear to be the influential factors with regard to the ultimate growth and development of the pups ai- ter birth.

Physiological Effect of Antbelmlntlcs and Therapeutics

Experimental work is being car- ried out to obtain information re- garding the physiologlcal eiicct and the lethal dose oi different therapeutics and iuithelmintlits. yThls experimental work should give information so that these can be administered with a greater de- gree oi efficiency and safety.

Digestion Trials

Experiments are under way to determine the digestibility of dif- ferent classes of meat and other

onstitutents of fox rations. It ls hoped that such experiments will give information which will help to prevent the numerous. fatalities that occur each year as a result of digestive disturb- ancel.

Control of External Parasitic Infestation

This question has been explor- ed and, after spraying the nests and kennels with fuel oil twice a year, no fleas or eat-mites have been observed 0n any of the ex- perimental foxes for several years. These results have been obtained without the use oi flea powders or esrmite remedies.

Control of Internal Parasitic Infestation

While experiments are being carried out with regard to the ef- ficiency and toxicity of different worm remedies, an effort is also being made to ascertain ii these parasites can be controlled with- out dlreot administration of worm NIIIBIIIOL, Different sections of the ranch are being systematical- ly sprayed with different larvlcldea. - Although it; is too early as yet to live my definite information, quite favourable results have been ob- tained by spraying the loll bot- tom Pens with salt and borax solu- tions.
