Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Minis- ter of Health, replying, said he found in South Wales confidence both among the miners, mine own- ers and managers, that in time the situation would recover and the coal industry of South Wales would regain at any rate a large measure of its former prosperity, But while that might be true of the industry as a whole, in cer- tain particular districts there could be no such hope. Onë had to recognise that there might be a number of men estimated at some 200,000 who were unlikely to find permanent employment in the mining industry again.
That was the situation which

would not be deterred from tak-
ing such exceptional measures.
If there were large numbers of miners who could no longer find employment, obviously it would be a great mistake to take measures the effect of which would be still to tie them down to places where they could not earn their own livings.
The problem resolved itself into one of transference from, a place where there was no "work for them to places where there was work. One difficulty, about! the transference of these people was that they were miners. The Government were, however, tak-| ing steps to give them training in order to make it more easy for them to embark upon other means of support.-British Wire- leas Service.

Sir Samuel Hoare replied that as at present advised he did not think it desirable to take powers to assume such far-reaching con- trol over private aircraft. Any auch regulations would be beset with peculiar difficulty and would be hardly likely to achieve their object. Neither Colonel Lind- bergh nor Hinkler carried wire- 'less and their flights would have been impracticable had, they been required to do so.-British Wire- less Service.
