The Aeronautical Research Committee reports that if the country desires to make up for the lack of quantity in aeroplanes by quality, larger sums must be allocated to air research. In view of the Smallness of the air force the importance of research cannot be over estimated and funds devoted to keeping up the highly trained technical staff would bring a better return than the occasional large sums offered as prize money.

Much full scale model work is being done- in connection with the stability of aeroplanes. The Committee does not see a way to experiment with the glider but are experimenting with a glider with a small engine and declares that engine stoppages are the most frequent cause ol accidents and the minimisation of them is imperative.

DOMINION’S INTEREST SOUGHT LONDON, Aug. 31. The “Morning Post” in editorially discussing the Imperial Conference, ■says: The mere fact that Mr Baldwin, whenever any foreign crisis arises must be saving to himself: “1 wonder what the Dominions will say Lo this?” itself constitutes a political revolution of the first magnitude. In addition to the claims of the Dominions, there is another force of almost equal importance working its will on Europe, namely, the United States of America. The Dominions have an advantage over tho United States inasmuch as through tho contact and touch with Britain they display, both, in their press and in the utterances of their statesmen, a very shrewd knowledge of European politics. If Mr Baldwin can succeed in directing the resources of the Empire into the right channels, and can focus the attention of the Dominion statesmen on the essentials of the European problem, lie will have rendered a priceless service to mankind, and bis success may encourage President Conlidge in a task which is equally important, and muth more difficult.
