There is a bitter outcry in the press coop as Air Marshal Arthur S. Barratt tells the correspondents in France that here-, here-, . after they News Hounds in must feed on France Yelp at handouts no Ban on 'Digging' more diSSing out their own stories. British newspaper owners retaliate by calling home the newsmen. news-men. It is one of several unfortunate unfor-tunate instances of ineffective cooperation co-operation between British high command com-mand and the newspapers. Foreign correspondents I have talked to have told me that the British air service, staffed by younger men than is the army, has been far less encumbered with brass hats and bureaucracy, bureauc-racy, and that its higher ranking rank-ing officers understood and cooperated co-operated with newspaper men. Hence the handout order, a sweeping decree in barring journalists jour-nalists frqrn all news sources, comes from an unsuspected quarter. Marshal Barratt was appointed to the command of the newly created unified French-British air force by Neville Chamberlain January 10 of this year. He is 49 years old, a lavishly lav-ishly decorated flier and air officer of the World war, in India at intervals inter-vals since 1931, senior air officer for India during part of that period. He joined the Royal Flying corps in 1914 and fought through the war. He has been commandant of the R. A. F. staff college at Andover. Many of the most effective leaders of the British air force have come from the Colonies. Marshal Barratt was born at Clifton, England, and I was educated at Clifton college and Woolwich.

As he sees it, "the underlying cause of our present afflictions is the fact that man has made a "cultural "cul-tural machine," that is a new complex of living technics, which is out -of-hand, unmanageable and quite generally haywire.
