The Committee premises that in view of the widespread nature of the Empire and the undevelopedstate of transport in many parts of it, the definite possibilities for transport by air which are offeredshould be exploited. That much is The beyond question, and has been set forth Committee at ]ength in these pages many times.

Finally, it is of the highest im- portance that British prestige in air-development won during the War should not be lost. With all of which we cordially agree, as those who have followed the trend of our comments upon the future . of civil flying will already be assured. There is no need here to traverse all the arguments set forth in detail by the Committee m arriving at its recom- mendations, especially as the report is given in full elsewhere in these pages. These follow lines which have become perfectly familiar to all who have taken more than an ephemeral interest in the subject of our future in the air. We can, therefore, proceed to a consideration of the recommeadations as set down by thf Committee. The main recommendation .is, should be given, limited to a j 1. the two financial payments to sd routes should of the tota (exclus direct assistance 1 sum of £250,000, >-i and 1921-2, Ics operating on Ited on a
