AIR SERVICES.

is still only possible for pilots who are financed by big avlation companies.

Flying is done only during the hours of daylight, and there are scores of stops all along the rout.. By the time the passenger had paid” for the journey and all his hotel expenses on the way he would have dozen expended enough for a

journeys by steamer. Moreover,

there is no saving of time on long journeys. Ross Smith made a re-. cord by reaching Australia "from England in twenty-eight days. The Journey by steamer is nat much longer.

Long-distance journey by air will not be feasible until the evolution of big airships, which will fly continuously night and day and have accommodation com-i parable to that of an ocean liner. That time is obviously a number of years ahead...

'But there is certainly plenty of room for the aeroplane on jour- neys which occupy two or three hours. It is in this direction that there has been such a great development in Europe, and pas- sage by air between such places: as London and Paris shows a big saving of time over the journey by train and steamer. The Inst report on British commercial aviation showed how rapidly the Paris London service has in- creased,

It is in this direction that air travel can be developed in the East, and a service between such places as Penang and Singapore would soon justify itself. The company which promises us this service has had considerable experience in Eastern countries. and these is hope that it will get beyond the talking stage and down to business.

Meanwhile, Penang and "Singa- pore gave a hearty welcome to Mr. Cobham, and large gatheringa listened attentively to his enthusiastic speeches on the pos- sibilities of aviation. While everyone could not share his optimism, his opinions were "in- teresting to listen to.

His arrival in Singapore closely followed the formation of an Ex- Services Flying Association, com- posed of men who served in the Air Force during the war. They entertained him to dinner at the Ruffles Hotel, and the occasion launched the association under very promising auspices.

The strike is a question of life and death for the whole nation. You are the vanguards in the bat- tle. We must support you. All Chinese brethren inust support you, Moreover, we-workers of Canton, and you, of Hongkong- are like the "teeth and the lips," we have to live or die.. together: Fight on! Dear Comrades, Fight on. We are with you always and.. everywhere

THE BRITISH WOLVES!" VES!

From a long answer by the Lin Yee Kuomintang, we take the following:-"During the negotia- tions, instead of talking of the strike settlement, British delegates talked of a so-called, industrial loan. They still dream. of economic domination. In their hereditary greediness, they try to drain away all our vitality to |Hongkong by their imaginary loop- line, thus, they could transform us into the lambs whose throat will be held by them, the British wolves! There are traitors who would sell out our country in order to get that loan, but we will rather die than allow it.”.

AGAINST LOAN,

An extract from a letter sent to the Canton. Government by the Oyerseas Chinese League is given. from which we take the "follow- ing:-"Before everything else, it is necessary to make clear who is responsible for the present con- flict? The railway loopline con- struction is a plan for economic. domination, Our late President was energetically against such plans. Therefore' under "no" cik-l cumstances, must we agree to this loan. And we must not-give-up. anything as a loan guarantee. Moreover, this is a negotiation for the strike settlement, and it is not necessary to discuss side issues. We, Oversea Chinese, have enb- Tacribed 3,000,000 dollars for the striko funds. We can still do more to help the strikers, and to sup-. port their demanda, Please, be brave the right is on our side.. Don't let us fall in their anare." We pledge to make every sacrifice to back, your foreign diplomacy, to make the strike victorious, and to console the spirit of our herole! dead."

STRIKERS' YELL

It is further reported that the | Strikte Committee is preparing plans for a long, campaign, in- cluding intensive propaganda, the tightening" of the boycott, the strengthening of the picket system and other measures. One amusing Item mentioned is that before cach moal the strikera will yell three timedDown with Im perialism!"
