BRITISH FEARS.
DANGER FORESEEN.
Restriction of Civil Aviation By Disarmament. AN AERIAL "ROUND-ROBIN." (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) •(Received 12 noon.) LONDON, March 9. The aeronautical community of Britain presented the Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay Mac Donald, with a remarkable "round-robin" on the eve of his departure for Geneva. The signatories express anxiety about the efforts being made to place strictures upon civil aviation under the guise of securing disarmament, and emphasise the necessity for developing quick Imperial communication, and the fact that Britain is leading in export of aircraft material. They ask that in no circumstances shall confused thinking on the subject of military and naval aviation react dhiadvantageously to the legitimate expansion of British civil aviation. The signatures were collected by means of two aeroplanes which visited all the flying clubs and air transport concerns, and were thus able to deliver the petition at Downing Street within 30 hours.
