BRITAIN'S COMMERCIAL AVIATION POLICY

!

While we are unable to say' with any accuracy as to the under cur- rent at Home with regard to Britain's commercial aviation po- licy we are nevertheless surprised to see a network of airways in China forming around us like a cordon and with Great Britain taking no part in the enterprise, It may be that Great Britain is taking a leaf out of the fable of the "tortoise and the hare" and is applying the policy that slow and steady wins the race. The truism may be alright, but the commer- ctal people out in Hong Kong would like to see this far flung outpost of the Empire inked with the Home country before the chances are whittled away.
