The machine chosen for their latest attempt is a Junkers three engined aeroplane, much on the lines of the Bremen, but it will be atton with flouts for rising from and alighting on water instead of wheels..

The start will be made from a large lake, near Berlin.

General Chan began his speech by saying that Canton and Hongkong

Referring to the labour class, General Chan spoke of their being more than a year ago, saying that, fooled by the Communists a little not knowing that they were walk- ing into a trap set for them, they |} unwittingly allowed themselves to be used as tools.

To get most efficient results they must pull together in unison and harmony; if they pull in opposition to each other then disaster follows. Employer and labour must therefore work together to develop industry to a strong healthy condition."

Merchant's Opportunity. General Chan then went on to speak of the necessity of a uniform system in the organisation of La- bour Unions, and, in a welcome to the merchants, said:-We can all the merchants have to contend with, sympathise with the obstacles that and I am sure that everyone has nothing but admiration for the

Great interest is being taken in the flight as it indicates the most ready appreciation of the value of the demonstration of the "Question Mark" at Los Angeles recently.

With powerful multi-engined planes, it is thought possible that the re-fuelling in the air system will revolutionise ideas regarding the practicability of transoceanic flights by heavler-than-air craft.— Reuter.

SOUND AUSTRALIAN FINANCES.

PRAISE BY BRITISH COMMISSIONER.

London, Feb. 22. Sir Hugo Hirst and Sir Ernest Clark arrived at Southampton to- day. They were members of tho economie Commission to Australia.

The Misalon will issue a report and Sir Hugo Hirst said that while

it would contain certain criticism, it would generally express admira- tlon for the great progress made by Australia.

Sir Hugo Ilrat spoke of the soundness of Australia's financial position, despite mistakes that had been made, and expressed satisfac tion that 98 per cent. of the Australian population was British to the core.
