TRANSPORTATOIN

-Progress in the abstract may mean anything. Engineer Com-.. mander White thought that to make certain local progress in this age., we should turn Lion's Rock Into an air conditioned rabbit war- ren suitable for accommodating human beings. It will be noticed he made no reference to the Peak. However, he may be giving a 'per- fectly correct forecast of what will be absolutely necessary in the near future. Pirate planes will be able to take off from pirate aerodromes, and no commercial factory in the world would be free from attack in а retrospect of progress. "Transportation" leads the field. What does "It mean? Can you travel cheaper now than twenty years ago? Do Laventions and im provements to inventions mean better conditions for the producer. One of the greatest scandals was the introduction of the spinning | ginny which exploited labour to the better end where as it should have brought blessing to all. The layman may well ask why are these things permitted, Why should planes of destruction be bullt to destroy aeroplanes of com- merce. Why should ships of war be built to destroy ships of peace and commerce. Why should guns be used to destroy in a week that which it has taken many years to build.
