GRAVE PROBLEM
LONDON’S TRAFFIC A MUSSOLINI NEEDED AEROPLANES SAFER THAN CARS (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, October 30. London traffic has reached a stage where each day constitutes a fresh problem. “What is needed in London to-day is a Mussolini of traffic,” declared Colonel Vaughan-Morgan, a member of the House of Commons, addressing the Traffic Society. “The Royal Automobile Club must find somebody with vision and imagination who will cut through the forces of inertia and obstruction. Everybody in England is a potential motorist. The advent of the £lOO car is a milestone in social history. There are roughly 1,000,000 cars on the roads and thousands coming. We axe at present heading towards a London consisting of one colossal jam.”
One of the English judges recently, referring to the increasing number of accidents, said “We will all be in a happy decade when everybody is flying. This is safer than motoring, even if one or two ’planes do fall on our heads.”—A. and N.Z.
