“AIR HABIT.”
MUST BE CULTIVATED. ' ILLIMITABLE PATHWAYS. LONDON, Oct, 14. “The British Isles are small, and offer little scope for aviation, but the Empire provides a limitless field ior enterprise in connection with air transport,” says Lord Thomson, Minister for Air in the Ramsay MacDonald Government, in an article in the Weekly Observer. “We have won a great and dominant position by controlling ‘the illimitable. pathways of the sea.’ These will still be the backbone of Empire communications, but the air provides a new system of arteries and veins which it would be perilous to neglect. “In order to preserve our position in the world: we must develop the still more illimitable pathways of the air, and cultivate the air habit,” he concluded.
