Gambling with Gasbags
EMPIRE AIRSHIP POLICY Politicians Suffer Zeppelinitis By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9.5 a.m, LONDON, Friday. THE “National Review” editorially congratulates the Rt. Hon. Stanley Bruce, Prime Minister of Australia, and his colleagues on “keeping their heads in a mad world ’by refusing to commit Australia to the airship policy until further and better evidence of the utility of these giant gasbags has been obtained.
A IRSHIPS have been represented to be a serious solution of Imperial communications, and with several British Ministers suffering from Zep-
pelinitis there is a danger of Australia being rushed into a grandiose scheme resulting in a ruinous loss of life and money. '‘Australia has been deluged with
propaganda by fantastic orators and the Air Ministry,” says the paper. “Therefore, it is all the more creditable that members of the Commonwealth Cabinet have kept their heads. Let airships be tried out by the Americans, who have more money than they know* what to do with.” —A. and N.Z.
