THE LECTURE

Professor Middleton Sniíth, ladies, gentlemen and listeners-in, still retain pleasant memories of an evening in February this year when your Society accorded me the honour of listening to a discourse of mine on 'aviation. I therefore ap- proach this evening's task in a very happy frame of mind, feeling that

I have many old friends before me.

On my way here this evening, I experienced a very unpleasant sen- sation, I thought that I had left my notes behind. I imagine my feel- ings were somewhat similar to those of the aviator who attempted a parachute drop, having forgotten to fit on his parachute. He dropped very well!

As you all know, the subject of this lecture is "The Development of Aviation in China," I propose to divide the subject into three sec- tions:

I. Development in Other Coun- tries.

II. Past and Present Aviation in China.

III. Possibilities of the Future of Aviation in China.

The first section is designed to give you an idea of what has been done in other countries so that you may have some slight knowledge of the subject and, a base from which to judge my later remarks.
