AIR MASTERY.
ESSENTIAL TO BRITAIN. TRANSPORT OF THE FUTURE. BY GABLE—PBESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Oct. I. Major-General Sir Sefton Branckci (Director of Civil Aviation) forecasts that at no distant future air transport will be as remunerative as. shipping and railways. He admitted that British air progress had been disappointing in its slowness in development, and discouraging in its constant demand for financial assistance. Nevertheless it assuredlv would become the principal means’ of long distance communication throughout the world. Aviation would soon outstrip, the older forms of transport, and British aviation would possess as great a measure of importance to the nation as the ship-building industry in the past. It was of the foremost importance to the Empire that Britain should keep her place in the forefront of aviation, because she depended on communications for her existence to a greater degree than any others. Unless Britain maintained them in the highest state of efficiency and rapidity, made possible by scientific aircraft, the Empire would assuredly melt into the mists of the past.
