SEAGER asked the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairswhether he is aware of the enormous progress made in Germany in the manufacture of civil aircraft : whether, in view of the ease with which civilaircraft can be converted into military aircraft, he will consider the ad- onlyto do? Capt. Guest : I have been asked to reply to this question. The GermanGovernment have agreed to surrender to the Allies all the civil aircraft (estimated at some "50 in number) constructed in Germany since the cominginto force of the Treaty of Versailles, such manufacture having been held by the Allies to be contrary to the. stipulations of the Treaty. In the mean-time the construction of all aircraft in Germany is suspended until the l"ter- Allied Aeronautical Commission of Control is satisfied that it has completedthe aerial disarmament of the country. Germany has also agreed to accept definitions drawn up bv the Allies differentiating between aircraft tor civiland commercial use and those that are potentially war machines, the manu- facture of the latter being contrary to the Peace Treaty. Measures are beingdrawn up by the Allies for the effective surveillance of aircraft manufacture in Germany after the withdrawal of the Commission ot Control. Sir W. Seagcr : Is the hon. and gallant gentleman satisfied that the sus-pension of the manufacture of aircraft in Germany is being carried out, ana will he see that the terms of the Treaty with regard to aircraft are rigm.yenforced ? ' Capt. Guest : Yes, I am satisfied that the information 1 have given to the House is accurate. Alula Wing MR. RAPER on October 20th asked the Secretary of State for Air whetherthe Martinsyde" Semi-quaver, "which was tested with an Alula wing on the 12th instant at Northolt, demonstrated itself to be of any interest as a fightingmachine ; if so, in what manner ; if this machine had previously been tested for performance at Martlesham and for strength at Farnborough ; andwhether, during the test referred to at Northolt, the machine was tested with a roll, an Immelman turn, and a spinning nose-dive ?Capt. Guest : I attended the demonstration myself ; it was a private one promoted by those connected with the development of the " Alula " wing.1 understand that the object of the demonstration was to show that the " Alula " system of design was not incompatible with high speed. Hithertoit has been'the weight-carrying qualities of the wing on which most emphasis has been placed. The machine, as shown, was not a practical fightingmachine, and I do not think that those showing it had any intention of claiming it to be one. This machine has not been tested at either Martlesham orFarnborough, but certain investigations into its strength are being under- taken, and 1 have no intention of permitting an official test by an Ait Ministrypilot until these investigations have shown the strength of the machine to be adequate.As far as I am aware, the machine has not been rolled or spun, nor have Immelman turns been attempted. The closest attention is being given bythe Research Department of the Air Ministry to this invention, and every opportunity will be afforded to the inventor to demonstrate the value ofhis device.
