FLYING BOATS FOR BRITAIN

AN OMISSION: FROM AIR DEBATE REAL STRENGTH AND RESERVES

Of many omissions in the de- bate on the Air Estimates, the most striking was that of any serious discussion on flying boats. No member of Parliament desired information as to the provision of flying boats, or whether any effort is being made by the Air Ministry to encourage the building of GV- tonners of Atlantic range, and Atlantic airworthiness, says the Sunday Observer. Thus, it might reasonably have been pointed out that types of military aircraft which take seven years to pass from the designing to the produc- tion stage are, in fact, steadily im- proved during that period. The Virginia night bomler of to-day, Although now obsolete, is a much more efficient type than the first.

Again, reference might havo been made to the fact that in the case of a design competition for new fighters, out of six competing firms only one had completed its

The famous historian Heinrich von Srbik and the 1931 Nobel prize winner for medicine, Pro- fcakor

Julius Wagner-Jauregg, both told the United Press they had seen no progress during 1934, both blaming the "unjust" war trenties.

Herr Urban said: "The economic nction of Mr. Roosevelt to combat by completely new methods the crisis, which heretofore one was accustomed to consider as some- thing unalterable and therefore, to be undergone passively, will, if successful, bring the palm to the President of the United States."
