ACTIVITIES TO BE PROFITABLY COMBINED LOOKING FIVE YEARS AHEAD

Rugby, Yesterday. The Air Minister, Lord Thomson, who last year had discussions in London with M.-Eynac, the French Air Minister, upon methods of Franco-British co-operation in avia- tlon, lust might ninde reference to this subject in a speech to the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris.

He said that he and M. Eynac had together examined the air situation in Africa, Arabla and the Far East, and everywhere found that their activities could be profit- ably combined.

In aviation, it was always neces- sary to look five years ahead, and in examining the future they had between them planned a web of air communications covering more than half the surface of the globe, the civilising influence of which could only serve to stimulate the growth of Franco-British trade.
