"There is no technical reason why air mails should not be delivered in India in thirty or forty hours," said Sir Samuel Hoare at Ashbridge. "Air Force machines move at 180 miles an hour. There is no reason why similar machines should not be used for mails instead of omnibus machines, also carrying passengers and freights, which are obliged to stop every 300 miles. To the present th,e British Post Office has shown itself the blackest reactionary! in all matters in connection with the air. It has evou refused an air stamp. No civil air service in the world is yet self-supporting. Our Continental rivals aro receiving 70 per cent, of their total cost in Government subsidies. British air lines aro nearer to becoming self-supporting than those of the United States, Germany, France, and Italy, and Britain has an nnbeaten record for safely and punctuality."
