There is no bar against women taking up aviation as a career in any of its brinelies, except, of course, the Royal Air Force.

why
THERE is no reason
wormen should not excel
as well as any man in record Dying, racing, or any of the more adven- turous branches of aviation. There is no earthly reason why women should not use the air lines as re- gularly as men and make ideal pos- sengers.
Then why don't they? There are only 196 private women pilots cor
compared with 4,628 men, and only 11 women with commercial flccnces compared with 882 men.
It cannot be pleaded that there is lack of opportunity, of know- ledge, or of facilities for training. There le opportunity in plenty for those who want it, and there, I think, I have put my finger on the weak spot.

No Protest to Italy.The Italian cruiser Ralmondo Montecuccoli left Melbourne to-day without a cheer. The admitted "beating up" by mem- bers of the crew of an Italian--taxi- driver who was mistaken for an anti- Fascist propagandist, and the anti- Fascist demonstration on the quay which followed, have undone all the good of the visit. The newspapers suggest that there should be an off- clal Commonwealth protest to the Italian authorities, but recording to reports from Canberra this is unlike.

To those who feebly protest that they dare not go up into the air, Ily. would say: Remember that during four years those huge air liners of Imperial Airways have safely carried passengers throughout the Empire more than 8,000,000 miles.
