IMPERIAL AIR FLEET. Lord Marris, ex-Premier of Newfoundland, addressed a meet- ing at Birmingham recently under the auspices of the Imperial Air Fleet Committee: The Lord Mayor, Sir Davis Brooks, who presided, explained that it was desired to stimulate interest in the scheme for raising funds to be given to the Colonies. It was proposed to give the Birmingham aeroplane to South Africa, and already £1,700 towards the total -cost £1,200 had been promised. Lord Morris said that by giving aeroplanes they were promoting the patriotic sentiments which were necessary to keep the Empire together. We were at the beginning of a new chapter in Imperial history, and it would be well if captains of industry asked themselves how we stood, now that the war was over. In his judgment there never war a time when more careful piloting was required. An Imperial Air Fleet would help to link up the far-flung portions of the Empire and produce some tangible illustrations of Our common brotherhood.
