MONG the 10,500 planes

Bell Airavobra. The United States claims

il is the world's best fighter.

It costs £25,000

in Australian money and is said to be capable of 4410 miles an hour.

Let's see what gives the Americans such a high opinion of the Airncobra.

Most novel point in the con. struction of these planes is that the engine is behind the pilot. This allows the pilot to see better where he is going. and makes the plane casier to manoeuvre at high speeds—a valuable asset when a man is

The propeller actually re- volves round a hollow shaft through which passes the gun barrel (D). The twin ma- chine-guns (E) in each wing complete the armament.

Still another novel point about this plane is that there is an additional landing wheel to the two normal retractable wheels which you can see the sketch, just being lowered from each wing.

That third wheel, which tucks away under the nose of the Airncobra, is claimed to give greater stability and safely in a difficult high speed landing.

In Bristol he also found its career. He became Interested in trade unionism, and joined the carter's section of the local bronch of the Dockers' Union. He wus soon a minor official and attract- ing the attention of the pioneer unionist Ben Tillett, who advised him to take up union organisation as a full-time job..

The advice was taken. Bevin became successively branch secre- tary, district secretary, national- organiser, and assistant general Secretary of the Dockers' Union. He first came to London after the war to asslat in the amalgamation of the Transport Workers' Union and the Transport Workers' Federation.

He acted as Ben Tillett's right- hand man throughout the negotia- tions, and in 1922 he became the first general secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union. In the succeeding years until he has built up its strength, It became the formidable all-em- bracing combination of which his old chief had always dreamed.

The case he put was masterly, compelling and unanswerable. The dockers got their rise, and Ernest Bevin won the well-earned Litle of the "Dockers' K,C,” It has never been forgotten.

"You should rend for the Bar," a famous barrister told him after- wards. "No." Bevin replied, “I In only argue with conviction when I am sincere." It was no exaggeration, and later in the year his sincerity and conviction led him to

or all the members of the T.U.C., Ernest Bevin has been the lenst given to making polltleaf speeches. The strong specchi he inade on May Day this year was, therefore, all the stronger. It had two results. It hastened the re- organisation of the goverment, for Bevin's voice is a powerful one, and he speaks for half a million men organised in the largest trade union in the world. It also mode his inclusion in any new govern- ment almost inevitable.

Such is Ernest Bevin, Minister of capable, Labour. Warm-hearted, shrewd and hard-hitting. His first speech after his appointment was forthright and to the point-typical of Bevin,

"I hope the Wur Cabinet will not allow vested interests, pronts, or anything else to stand in the way of maximum production. If this is the policy of the Government, I will ask my prople to work like hell to save the lives of our lads.””

And later in the sume speech he- sald, "The position is critical and violent, and will require tremend- ous energy." He is right, and the tremendous energy of Ernest Be- vin will do much to help the Cabinet deal with a critical and violent situation.
