NEW YORK, October 30,
The OttaWa correspondent of the "New York Times" says that a con' ference next weekend is expected to consider practical details of train, ing and financing under the Empire air scheme. The training machines will be actual fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance planes.
Apparently hopes of procuring the machines with which to start the scheme are pinned on the United States, and 1500 are likely to be ordered initially. -...'.. The plan is expected to reach its peak in 12 to 18 pionths, ranking Canada as a, major air Power, since she will have at least 5000 planes, and 10,000 airmen operating at 100 aerodromes.
1 The correspondent adds that thus the responsibility the United States assumed when President Roosevelt guaranteed Canada against conquest will be lightened.
