BRITISH AIR SERVICE.
EARLY SCHEME PREDICTED.
GIRDLE ROUND THIS WORLD.
FACTOR MAKING: FOR. PEACE
By Tale&rath—Press Association— A. and N.Z. ' . LONDON, July 19.
The probability of ah early decision in connection with a big airship scheme, which would later take in Australia, was suggested by the Duke of Sutherland at the annual meeting of the Air League of the British Empire. He believed a scheme would soon be arranged which would have far-reaching effects, both in. linking the Empire and in making for peace, the eventual goal. He would move gradually in stages in that direction, first Egypt, then India, then Australia, then round the. world.
The only way to prevent a future war in the air was to have an air force of proportionate size to the strength of the Empire. Extensive improvements were now being considered, especially m the amalgamation of various companies concerned in civil aviation and the employment of large amounts of private capital.
