ROOTS IN THE AIR.
COBH A M’S PROPHECY. EMPIREi OF THE FUTURE. LONDON, March 24. “The Empire of tlie Future will have its roots in the air,” said Captain Alan Cobham, the famous airman (who contemplates a flight to Australia), at the Aldwyeh Club. • “Europe,” he added, “is one of the world’s worst places for flying; Egypt is one of tlie best, despite its sandstorms.” , Tlie British Empire was unlike other countries, notably in that iF* lacked n.'ftffona 1 flying propaganda. Hero-wor-ship hindered aviation. As long as an aviator was regarded as a brave man aviation would never succeed. Personally, he thought motoring in London streets was more dangerous.
