FIGHT FOR AERIAL

SUPREMACY,

GERMANY'S BID FOR WORLD'S MARKETS.

Great Britain's most serious competitors in securing an inter national aircraft trade are France, Italy

and Germany, states a White Paper issued by the Air Ministary dealing with the pro- gress of civil aviation in foreign countries.

Neutral countries, although generally benefiting financially, did not share in the impetus giren by the war to aviation, and have, on the whole, made little progress in that science.

With the exception of Great Britain no country has as yet a separate Air Ministry or Depart- ment corresponding to our Civil Avistion Department, and, the whole, compared with that of other countries, British progress has been considerable."

CHEAP GERMAN MACHINES, The report states :-

L

On

Partly to avoid the terms of the Peace Treaty, and partly to make an early bid for foreign märkets. Germany has sold large num' ers of acroplanes and aeroplane engines at extremely low figures to Norway, Sweden, Holland. Denmark, and Switzer land, and there can e no doubt that Germany has secured a sub- stantial footing, so far at least as the aeroplane is concerned in neighbouring countries."

"Germany is apparently of the opinion that the leading commer- cial Power in the air will bave the strongest reserve air force in the event of war, and Herr Euler. the President of the Imperial Air Board, has stated that the Gor- ernment intend boldly to foster civil aviation." Certain aerial mail contracts have been granted, and all post offices, in Berlin accept aerial letters for --

in operation. A fee of 1 mark per 20 grammes (about oz.) over and above the ordinary internal letter rate is charged.

FRANCE'S SUBSIDIES,

An airship service is carried out on alternate days between Berlin and Friedrichsliafen (about 400 miles), for which 690 marks per passenger is charged; and it is hoped shortly to inaugurate Hairship routes between Berlin- Copenhagen - Christiania - Berlin and Stockholm.

France has adopted its usual policy for the encouragement of new industries, and has adopted the principle of subsidy. A sum of 18,000,000 francs has been ear- marked for this purpose.

Subsidies take the form of :- Bobuses on distances flown. Bonuses to pilots and crews for good work.

Premium on tonnege carried.

Special bonus for machines of military type immediately avail- able in emergency for use by the State.

In the Near East France is neglecting no effort to achieve aerial predominance.

are

ITALIAN PLANES GIVEN AWAY. The French have established themselves firmly in Japan, and in instructing engaged Japanese officers. An airship line is contemplated from Mar- seilles to Africa, and later to South America.

By the gift of machines to various countries, Italy is en- deavouring to press her aircraft products, and a semi-rigid airship is under construction which it is believed, will attempt a flight from Italy to Rio de Janeiro.

America is conducting two- aerial mail services, and in California a system of forest fire patrols by Government machines has been established. Negotia tions have been completed for the purchase by America of the British rigid airship R38, "now under construction at Bedford.
