We reprint from the London "Morning Post,” a penetrating analysis, by Major Oliver Stewart, a well-knovu airman, of the I dimater.

The article sets out unsparingly the case against airships. If the R. 101, ne visafe, and so it is n contended, then safety cannot be achieved, in the gist of the urgie- ment.

of a structure before it was used, and to check the stress calculations by actual measurement."

R.101 grew; and even now, after the tragedy of Beauvais, it is still possible to say that she was Busterpiece. As a sheer feat of de- sign there was no other structure in the world in which so exquisite balance between extreme light- ness and extreme strength had been struck.

"It is probably, no exaggeration

Generally speaking, when the

construction of R,100 and R. 101 was begun, the public still viewed air- ships with distrust. It was the avowed task of the officers who as sembled at Cardington to remove that distrust. Everything possible lind been done to make the struc ture of R101 safe. Everything was to be done to make the flying of R.101 safe. No risks were to be taken. The first thing was to build up confidence in the safety of air ships and to remove the effects of previous disasters.
