Courses of instruction at the various universities, including Capetown and the prospect of a school in Earpt for the training of highly skilled pilots, were among the steps in building up a thoroughly efficient air service mentioned in a statement on the Air Estimates in the House of Commons by Mr. Winston Churchill, who said that progress in the past eighteen months had been far greater than he anticipated when he predicted that the completion of his task would take five years. He described the complicated organism every part of which was interdependent as pro- viding one of the most remarkable educational systems of supplying | scientific knowledge ever produced. The service had reached a stage of development where a change of policy would mean destroying the work "done. Additional squadrons would begin 'forming on April 1, making, altogether 42. It was also proposed to begin the formation of a territorial air force with six squadrons near engineering centres.
