AIR ENTHUSIASM URGED
LORD ROTHERMERE'S NEWEST CAMPAIGN ! LONDON, January 29. Lord Rothermere, in the "Daily Mail" (his newspaper), declares that although Germany is the world's greatest air power, Great Britain is less air-minded than 20 years ago. He urges the organisation of a national league of airmen which he intends to establish with the assistance of "Daily Mail" readers subscribing 2s 6d a head. Only full members will be pilots, aged from 40 or under, .with wartime experience, whose flying records will be the sole test of fitness. These "will address the public, informing them of London's aerial peril, and will correct official statements about Britain's air strength." Lord Rothermere hopes for a membership of 100,000. He points out that Germany's Air League comprises 5,000,000 and Italy's 2,000,000.
