British Interest

British-Governmental activity and interest in aircraft is unceasing. Sir Samuel Hoare, Air Secretary, who is undertaking a Continental tour of inspection of aerodromes and airways, will travel wholly by air and familiarize himself with many types of commercial planes. The Hambling report is being acted upon by the House of Commons and will establish what is now popularly known as the " Million Pound Monopoly "--a national flying service between England and the Continent with this amount of capital, all other lines being deprived of their subsidies. A House of Commons Committee is also examining a serious proposal for air mail service from London to Halifax, via Plymouth, Lisbon and the Azores.
