AIR RAGE WINNER.
DEPLORES CONDITIONS IMPOSED. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. JOHANNESBURG, October 6*. Air C. NY. A. Scott, winner of the air race, speaking at a luncheon, expressed regret that the race was not for international competitors. He might have accomplished something better for Britain if the entrv had been open to all nations, it was all very well to say British aircraft had reached the Rand in a certain time but other countries might no.v say they could have eliminated British aircraft from the race. It would have given British aviation a greater fillip even if a nonBritisher had won. Britain was terribly behind in commercial aviation. “If there is another race, for heaven’s sake make it international,' he said. Mr Sehlesinger. donor of the prize money, said he intended to investigate Scott’s suggestion.
