Cultural Considerations.—The speeding-up of transporta- tion which the air could give should result in more leisure. Agencies of Government should work towards transform- ing this possibility into reality. Leisure did not auto- matically produce culture, but it gave an opportunity, and it was incumbent on education to develop the desire on the part of those who had this increased leisure to use it effectively for cultural purposes. The International Field.—Useful spheres for aircraft in commerce and in relieving economic pressure have alrea'dy been mentioned. It was important that we should be aware that aircraft make possible a greater availability of markets in any part of the world to any potential customer elsewhere. Aircraft underlined the importance of creating conditions under which the military aspects of aviation would be minimised and its commercial aspects developed. It was therefore important that greater em- phasis should be placed on the economic than on the political aspects of air transport. Another factor was the increase in living space which the air age might bring about. , Many past wars had been caused by the fear, real or imaginary, of insufficient living space, and if air- craft could alleviate these fears a worth-while mission .would have been performed.

The role which aircraft could play in this respect was obvious. The acceptance of international agreements must, to be effective, automatically entail the giving-up of some rights hitherto regarded as sovereign. It was natural that after a war an intensely strong nationalistic spirit should be rising through the world. This was inimical to the success 2! 2» 21 3 18 P -J IS V FIC.1O I \ \ PASSENGER FAIALIflES PtK lOU.UUU.OOTJ PASSENGER MILES FLOWN DOMESTIC AIR CARRIER OPERATIONS \ w YE AR wts i : go X.5 & X o:' UJ a. 0 UJ -J 2-1I FIC 1 AIR CARRIER AIRCRAFT EFFICIENCY TON MILE PAY LOAD PER HORSE-POWER HOUR I i 1921 U 5 11 2J U 33 35 il 3H 41 4.1 4) ' 49 51
