AVIATION
By virtue of its unique geographic- al position, Hong Kong is certain to become one of the most im. portant air porta in the Far East, with Kai Tak aerodrome as the base. To the casual observer the first impression is that Kowloon would be an ideal terminus for the already existing Imperial Airways, or any other branch of air travel which may develop from the pre- sent well-established air lines con- nacting Europe with India and the Straks Settlements, and thence on
to Australia. From a more ad- vanced view point, however, it wil be seen that Hong Kong is so situated as to be, theoretically, the vital centre or radiating point for dir lines connecting the ports of the Far East, including Japan, with Europe and intermediate ports. At the present time there is no connection other than by ship between the Straits Settlements, Indo-China, Manila, Hong Kong, the major portion of China, and Japan. The actual distance from Hong Kong to any one of these places except Japan and Singapore is such that it would be easy to reach it by air in a single day allowing plenty of time-margin for delays due to bad weather and stops at intermediate ports of call. A study of the map will reveal that Hong Kong is definitely the centre of a vital, area including routes for Far East airways, only the fur thermost points of which will no be reached in one day.
In considering the question of air travel the first question that
