The Estin atas. Under the heading of Public Worke there appear numerous items which could well afford to wait for better times, notably the extension of the road from Victoria Gap to High West (now called Lugard Road), the completion of the 20 ft. road from Aberdeen to Deep Water Bay, the street paving soheme which has recently receiT ed the sanction of the Secretary of State and the proposed large programme of road construction in the New Territories, The amount proposed for Pablic Works Extraordinary is much larger than hitherto and yet it has been carefully revised. Ob viously the need for economy is moro argent than the need for however desirable the latter may be, we can afford for a season, at least until conditions materially mend to do without them..

This Year's Budget. In order to balance the budget. for the coming year it will be necessary, His Excellency saya, to appropriate from surplus balances a sum of $1,079,130, which is a larger sum than has hitherto been taken for this purpose; but, 68 His Excellency remarked, until the large public works in pro- gress and in contemplation have been completed, it will be difficult to avoid drawing annually on the Colony's assets. There is a limit to this procedure, of course, but we hope it may not be reached before the costly public works above referred to are completed. It is a sign of healthy progresa that the demand for these large. expenditures should be so insist- ent, and it may be hoped that the course of public events will not render necessary the curtail- ment of necessary expenditure to the extent His Excellency fore- shadowed as a possibility: but if the War continues throughout the whole or the greater part of next year we imagine it will be found that the revenue estimates will need to be reduced to a much greater extent than has been done already.

extensive use of her aircraft in a combined attack on the British Fleet, it is particularly interest ing to have the views of an expert on what aircraft may and may not be expected to do in warfare We, therefore, turn once more to Mr. F. W. Lanchester, who, as previously stated in this column is contributing an interestin series of articles on the subjec in our excellent contemporary Telephone No. 1683. "' Ezgineering." In the current igate to hand of that publication (Capt. 11) Mr. Lanchester, who, by the way, is a member of the Government Advisory Committee for Aircraft, applies himself to the subject quoted at the head of this article. It is an open question, he saye, as to whether airmen will always be found ready to step forward at the critical moment to go to certain death, and that being so general feasibility of ramming tactics must for the time being remain in doubs.
