FLYING IN CANADA
FIELD FOR DEVELOPMENT. y Telegraph—Press Assn. —Coiivngiit. Ottawa, Dee. 7. At St. Catherine’s, Ontario, Sir Alan Cobham, interviewed to-day as he entered Canada on a lecture tour, said: “There is greater opportunity for the development of aviation throughout the Dominion than there ever will lie in .the Home Country, for the simple reason that, whereas in England we are handicapped by the short distances, very bad visibility and lack of the necessity for flying, the Dominion has vast distances to be covered, as a rule, good flying weather, and an opportunity of proving that flying is the quickest means of transportation. “The great hope for the development of civil aviation in England and Scotland is the private owner, who will use the aeroplane chiefly for pleasure flying from one place to another to visit friends.”
