OCTOBER 23, 1919 ^m THE Nation's Outlook. To all whom it may concern. " WORK or Sink ; then there will be nothing to wrangle about."—Mr. Lloyd George. " THIS country will be saved by the brains and energy of the individual, and not by enactments which curtail production and only lead to sloth instead of encouraging ambition and enterprise. In the present day we hear a deal about starva- claims that the Convention fails to protect certain American rights—or should it be " Wrights " ? But as there is still a period of six months in which the United States can signify its approval, there is no need to worry about the ultimate result. In the meantime the Convention is in abeyance until such time as the rules are brought into force by decree IN South America, aviation is regarded seriously. Brazil is the latest to lay the^foundation of an air force. Col §* K <S S ss ss timi^M •^**^:¥^--r; New Avro Types : Our photograph shows the new Avro limousine, 150 h.p. B.R.I. engine.

Through the Triplex windows a good view is ob tained, while the noise from the en gine does not pene trate to the cabin to any great extent tion. Is a standard wage going to stave it off ? There is no surer way of hastening it. We must find our own level, we must go through the Mire of Despond before we can attain Mr. Lloyd George's Garden of Eden. The essentials are individual ambition and determination, a consuming desire to achieve, and not merely a desire for higher wages ; payment in relation to efficiency, and not by an arbitrary standard. . Let the Government allow each individual to work out his own ambition and betterment instead of trying to do it for him ; let the inefficients go to the wall, and there, with their backs against it, make good."—Mr. Malcolm Arbuthnot. Mangin, Chief of the French Aviation Mission to Brazil, has orders to buy for the Brazilian Army all the material required for the formation of an aerial bombing and observation squadron. AND Chile is also coming into line, through European help. AN aerial " taxi " service in Thousand Islands, Canada, is the latest scheme for next summer. The proposal to establish this service is put forward by Capt. Baskerville, formerly Flight-Commander of the 117th Squadron, R.A.F. 5S ^ s s ^ 1 s ^ New Avro Types: The annexed photograph shows the fuseJage of an Avro Baby, fitted with floats. This machine, which was f u 1 ly described in " Flight " of June 26, 1919, flies extra ordinarily well as a land machine, and although the extra weight of the floats may reduce the speed and climb somewhat, the Baby should still have quite a good per formance as a sea plane.

ON the top of all now comes the " job "-stunting 6-hours- a-day lunatic. ON October 13, thirteen Allied Powers signed, at the French Foreign Office, the International Aerial Navigation Convention. The United States and Japan did not append their signatures, which would have carried the number beyond the ominous thirteen. So far as the United States is concerned, their objection to sign is that their Patent Office ENGLAND and France are not the only spots where aero planes have been " realised " by being burnt. At Archangel —with a good deal more solid reason—our aircraft has also been ruthlessly "dismantled " by fire. Prior to the British departure from Northern Russia, it was considered wise that most of our war material should be disposed of in such manner as to render it of least value to the Bolshies, in case they, as was considered possible, got into possession of Archangel. Under this scheme it is stated that many brand new 200 h.p. 1403
