Ho said that during the next ten years, the three main lines of progress should be:-aeroplane routes to India in four days, to Australia in ten days, to New Zea land in twelve days and to Cape Tow in six days. At sometim also a fourth line might well be formed across the Atlantie to Canada in two and a halt days, but for the present "the competition of trans Atlantic liners might make that in commercially more dificult to inaugurate. When once those Empirù trunk lines were running, staller lines would no doubt radiate from them, linking up with them the territories this or that Crown Colony or de- pendency. The steps that were being taken to carry this policy into effect were to organise land. ing grounds and seaports and he asked the Dominions and Crown Colonies to assist in the work. An effort was also being made to start commercial Hines over the
