He hoped the Prince would learn from the lecture some thing of how he might in future, possibly go to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other parts of tho Empire and open Parliaments; and to India to open Durbars.
Major-General Sykes expressed the opinion that if the Empire air power.. both Service and civit. were developed and co-ordinated, our air supremaey might in the future be more valuable in, assisting to maintain the world's peace than sea supremacy in the past.

Engineering had played a most vital part in the late war, and it was clearly evident that it could not be allowed to lag behind; it was therefore thought that a close asso- ciation should he promoted also between the engineers of both nations. Hence the creation of the British Sec- tion of the French Society of Engine. ers, a society which embraced all branches of engineering activity, civil, mechanical, electrical, mining and metallurgy, administratin, &c. Mr. Wordingham gave a short historical review of the French Society since its inception, in 1848, and recalled the fact that several British names could be found in the list of those eminent, engineers who had been identified with the work of the society. The British Section would make for a closer intercourse between British and French engineers and works.
