FLYING BOATS FOR BRITAIN
AN OMISSION FROM AIR DEBATE
REAL STRENGTH AND RESERVES
Of many omissions In the de- bate on the Air Estimates, the most striking was that of any serious discussion on flying boats. No member of Parliament desired information as to the provision of flying boats, or whether any effort In being made by the Air Ministry to encourage the building of 50- tonners of Atlantic range and Atlantic airworthiness, says the Sunday Observer. Thus, it might reasonably have been pointed out that type-ven years to pa
milltary aircraft
which take
from the designing to the produc- tion alage are, in fact, steadily im proved during that period. The Virginia night bomber of today, although now obsolete, is a much more efficient type than the first.
Again, reference might have been made to the fact that in the case of a design competition for now fighters, out of six competing firms only one had completed ita entry more than a year after the specifled closing datel

CONFLICTING OPINIONS
Vionna, April 20. President Roosevelt war the World's greatest benefactor in 1934, according to Herr Ludwig Urban, president of the Austrian Industrialists' Association.
Expressing absolutely the con- trary opinion, Professor, Radolf Saliger, one of the foremost Aus- trian engineers, said President Roosevelt's experiment had exert- ed a "pernicious" influence on world recovery.
These opinions were expressed during a United Press canvass among prominent Austrians as to the most notable achievement dur- ing 1934,
While Herr Urban and Pró- Tessor Saliger expressed absolutely conflicting views, Dr. Karl Ernst Winter, Vienna's Vice-Mayor, gave last year's laurels to the late Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss.
The famous historian Heinrich von Srbik and the 1981 Nobel prize winner for melleirie, Pro
Wagner-Jauregg, Jullus fessor both told the United Press they had seen no progress during 1934, bath blaming the "unjust" treaties.

Herr Urban said: "The economic action of Mr. Roosevelt to combat by completely new methods the crisis, which heretofore one was accustomed to consider as some- thing unalterable and therefore to be undergone passively, will, i successful, bring the paim to the President of the United States,"
Next to the New Deal, Herr Urban considers the Franco-Italian endeavours for the picttention or Europe as the most prominent deed accomplished in the service mankind during 1934.

scence,
From some of the speeches an uninformed hearer might have supposed that our Air Force is very poorly equipped. But this is hardly borne out by a comparison of the flying in Great Britāla and Italy Inat year. The British ser vice, although numerically weaker, flew more than twice as many hours as the Italian, and whereas the average speed in the case of the Italian service was 109 milca per hour, in our own Air Force it was 116 miles per hour.

DECCA PORTROLA
A complete all electric radio-gram In the compass of an ordinary acoustic portable. Something that— until the introduction of this truly remarkable little, instrument was considered out of the question. But the seemingly impossiblo has been accomplished and DECCA- the inventors of the first acoustic portable--now introduce the world's first portable radio-gram.
A marvel of ingenuity, the 'Portrola' is distinguished not merely for its portability and novelty, but it really is a highly -efficient -- radio-gram,~giving-superlative-results-on-radio-or- records and challenging favourable comparison with most multi-valve receivers.
