THE SPEED QUEST
KAYE DON FEAT COMMENT
now
London, July 19. Kaye Don's achievement in recapturing the water speed re- cord for Britain, which again hokla the world records in air, on land and see, has revived the discussion as to the practical utility of these high speeds.
The general impression, judging- from the newspapers, is that their techical value is very considerable, and that they serve also as de- monstrations of the quality of Bri- Itish material and personal.
The Daily Mail considers they can have been attained "only na the outcome of the finest engineer- ing science and constructive ex- perience".
The Morning Post says:-"There seems no limit to the ingenulty, perseverance and ambition of the ex- blue-print men in Britain's perimental workshops."
The Manchester Guardian thinks the gain to marine architecture and engineering from these attempts to pack the largest power into the smallest space is unquestioned."
The Neres-Chronicle points out that in 1920 the rescord speed for motor boats was 71 miles hour. In 12 years, it has ristu to nearly 120, and in the last four it has risen by hour. The Near- 35 miles per Chemicle concludes "it is not al- together without significance that it should be British engineers who hailt Miss England III and the engines which have captured so many other world records".---Bri tish Wireless.
They were officially welcomed by th Canadian Premier Mr. B. he anticipates will mark the Can- Bennett, and many other Canadianference proceedings. Ministers, and were later received.
