SEPTEMBER 25, 1919 Aeroplanes to Link the Nations MR. F. HANDLEY PAGE was the guest of the Cheltenham Chamber of Commerce on Saturday evening, Sir J. T. Agg- Gardner, presiding over the gathering. Mr. Handley Page, replying to the toast of " Our Guest," said that he felt the honour had been done him because he happened to have been associated with the heroes of one branch of the service—namely, the R.A.F., the great men who had fought for us in the air with undaunted courage and the boys from school who had given eyes to the Army. His particular part had been to supply the airmen with machines and in doing this it had been a most interesting thing to tackle the various problems one had to face. Now they were turning their thoughts to peace, and these same big machines, which had been got ready for bombing Berlin, could easilyjbe transformed into other uses. Already a service was running between London and Paris, carrying seven passengers a da - and a considerable amount of goods, and before long week-end trips from Cheltenham to the Riviera should be possible at moderate cost. The greatest benefit from such a service as this, however, would be the increased knowledge one nation would gain of another. Wars arose out of misunderstanding. He believed the best League of Nations would be built, not out of paper, but out of the aeroplane, which would provide increased facilities for nations to know each other better and thereby promote a more perfect understanding the world over. M. Fokker Talks RECENTLY interviewed at Amsterdam Mr. A. H. G. Fokker stated that in 1916 the German Army authorities asked him to make a cheap aeroplane capable of flying about four hours, to be steered by wireless and to carry a huge bomb. It was intended to send these machines aloft in groups, to be controlled by one flying man. They had lost faith in big guns. Fokker says he prepared the plans but the German War Office decided to make the machines in Government factories, with the result that they bungled along for months. Then,in the summer of 1918 .they gave a huge order for wireless- controlled aeroplanes to M. Fokker, and he was just ready to manufacture them in wholesale quantities when the Armistice was signed; M. Fokker also spoke of his idea of gliders, which could be towed by an aeroplane, then cut loose and allowed to glide down to the particular place at which the passenger wished to alight. Industrial Problems THROUGH the courtesy of the Corporation of London, a series of fortnightly lectures on Industrial Problems will be delivered at the Guildhall, at 4,30 p.m., commencing on October 7. The speakers will include Mr. E. J. P. Benn, Professor Ripper, D.Sc., C.H., Dr. Russell Wells, the Rt. Hon. Sir Auckland Geddes, M.P., Sir George Paish and the Rt. Hon. Lord Emmott, G.C.M.G., G.B.E.

Whitley Councils THE Industrial Reconstruction Council and the Industrial League, who are amalgamating under the new title of the Industrial League and Council, have arranged a series of fortnightly conferences dealing with the working of Whitley Councils set up in the road transport, silk, wool and allied textiles, pottery, building and glove industries. The first of these conferences will take place on September 30 at 6 p.m., in the hall of the Institute of Journalists. All who are interested in the movement are invited to attend. A similar series of conferences on scientific management will take place in the same hall on alternate Wednesdays at 5.30 p.m., commencing on October 8. m m * m PUBLICATION RECEIVED Notes on the Variation of Atmospheric Conditions with Altitude.
