"The future of British civil

MR, F. HANDLEY PACE (the first man to build giant aircraft and the designar, of the slotted wing). "At the present time British civil aviation, as is the case of nearly all air transport activity, depends on continued Government support by way of subsidy in order that the companies operating can make two ends meet.
-
This is largely due to the fact that had weather conditions cause interruptions of the service, and so create a feeling of uncertainty and unreliability in the mind of the travelling public, and, further, the cost of air operation is high, and entails a charge to the travelling public somewhat higher than they are prepared to pay.
When, bowever, the new through routes to India and Australia which are projected are in actual being, and the public realise the great saving in time which will result therefrom in sending their cor- respondence by air, public support will be forthcoming without A doubt, in the same way that the air mail across America has been sup- ported. The high charge necessary to make air transport pay will he come a secondary consideration.

It is believed that this was the first occasion upon which a member of a Royal Family has spoken at the Union.
There was a full house. King George entered with the President, and was followed by a procession of the officers of the Union Society. He wore a monocle, and smilingly nicknowledged the applause, which greeted him. He read, in excellent English, from a manuscript.
