It is stated that the airmen were afforded, assistance by the local nuthorities and that they have re- suined their flight. It would ap

pear, however, from these reports

that the landing at Bialokrynica took place on Wednesday afternoon. No further news of McIntosh and Hinkler has been received from any quarter. Anxiety, therefore, still prevails, especially as no authentic confirmation is available phat the airmen who landed in Poland were actually McIntosh and Hinkler.

Sir Samuel Hoare. Secretary for Air, made a test flight at Crickle wood Aerodrome in Bristol fighter nachine fitted with the new slot device invented by Handley Page to prevent stalling,

It is claimed that the invention will render any machine perfectly safe. When the plane loses speed and the nose drops slightly, the slots come into "action automatical ly and the machine is thus given gufficient wing resistance surface to keep it on a level keel in the air.

Reony, Nov. 19th. The Government's decision an nounced in the House of Commons by the First Lord of Admiralty, Mr. WC. C. Bridgeman, not to. proceed with the laying down this year of two of the three cruisers for which provision was made in the Navy Estimates, is of much greater significance than has been generally realised.

It is stated that behind the deci-: sion is a deliberate intention not to lay down any more 10,000-ton cruisers so long as world influences are at work in the direction of limitation of Naval armaments.
