We have at present a powerful force of bombers.
Suppose there is a crash of one of these nuclear-armed bombers, followed by fire.
Bombers are not mobile, being tied to airfields.
If so, it is important that it should be made quite clear, because of the discouraging effect on men engaged in manufacturing dive-bombers.
Then there is the advent of jet bombers and fighters.
I am not suggesting that we should not exchange bombers.
Even if only a fraction of those bombers get through, this enormous expenditure will be publicly unjustified.
If we are now spending so much of our energy on bombers, what will happen to the industry in a few years' time?
