JOYNSON - HICKS, M.P„ chairman of the House of Commons Parliamentary Air Committee, intends losing no time in getting to business on the many important issues now prominent in connection with the Air Service. Immediately opportunity serves after the opening of Parliament, Mr. Joynson-Hicks will see that the P.A.C. meets to consider the action of the Government in placing the Air Service under the control of the War Office. It is probable that the whole question will be raised by an amendment to the Address in reply to the King's Speech. WE'RE getting on. Signor Caproni with his giant Italian aeroplanes has designs on establishing a direct service with Brazil via the air. He is reported already to have a contract with the Brazilian Government for carrying mails from Genoa to Rio de Janeiro, to begin six months after the close of the War. The main points of the flight would be at Morocco, the Canary Isles, Cape Verde Isles, St. Paul, Per- nambuco and Balica to Rio. With the same objective, it is stated that the U.S. authorities contemplate the establish ment of a regular mail service from Washington. XV('oRW nm Soccer A' at/or GcJaterfi Lte Cave 7^??r 7 112
