MOTORING NOTES
-----
(CONTD.).
So far as naval strategy is con. cerned the submarino is a supremely important weapon. The internal combustion engine that propels these craft is the Diesel engine The writer has heard that a
sub- marine now being built in one of the Royal Dockyards
Great Britain will be capable of develop- ing 3,000 horse power and the ex perience gained with that craft will probably lead the naval authorities to build something
ід
bigger Thus we ses that the three arms of the defence forces (the navy, army and air force) are dependent. on the development of the internal combustion engine. Every engine built for a motor-car stimulates the designer and manufacturer to make the next que better. Motorists have, therefore, materially assisted the forges ready to defend them in times of poril.

The annual general meeting of this Association will be held at no distant date and it is sincerely hoped that there will be a good altendance of members. Several items of interest will be brought up at the meeting. The funds have accumulated and there must now be a substantial balance in hand. The exact sum, will, of course, be sited Arrangements have been made with the publishers of one of the leading motor journals in Great Britain for members of the Hong Kong Automobile Association to 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 receive a copy of this journal each week at a reduged annual subscrip- tion. Incidentally it may be men. tioned that the former proprietor
of the journal was in Hong Kong three or four years ago. He related to the writer how his family almost accidentally acquired the journal which turned out to be a gold mine. It was in the early days of motor ing, nearly thirty years ago that the journal made its first appearance It was carried to prosperity on a food tide et potrol
