SPEED VICTORIES.
WATER, LAND AND AIR. SUPREMACY OF BRITAIN. LONDON', April 5. The newspapers hail Britain's recovery of her threefold speed supremacy, on the water, on land and in the air, as represented by Mr. Kayo Don's recent figure of 103.49 miles an hour in Miss England 11. at Buenos Aires, Sir Malcolm Campbell's speed of 245.736 miles an hour in the Bluebird at Daytona Beach in February, and Squadron-Leader Orlebar s record of 357.7 miles an hour in 1929 in the Schneider Cup race. The Daily Telegraph says it is not without significance that in a period of very great depression these three trades-motor-cars, aeroplanes and motor-boats have maintained comparative prosperity. No doubt, one of the main causes was the prestige gained from the speed victories of Britain.
