The political stabilization in Palestine and Mesopotamia is emphasized by the decision of the British Air Ministry to further decrease the budget for the air forces of these two countries.

According to an announcement of the Air Ministry forces, the estimate in the budget for the air forces for Palestine and Iraq is to be decreased by £195,200. This is another step in the reduction of the British forces in Iraq and Palestine.

Egypt, Palestine and Transjordania will have four squadrons, according to the estimate.
