Britain Rejects International Air Force in League Debate
Lord Londonderry told the House of Lords that an international air force under the League of Nations is impractical and undesirable. He said the League is a peace instrument, not a means to abolish war, and would require a full military establishment. He warned against a heterogenous force pitted against a major power and noted nations outside the League.
