Sir Samuel-inure Out- iii". as Future of Im- perial Air Service.

(Canadian Frau) LONDON, Mar. 11. —Develop- ment of a British air service which would bring Canada within reach of Great Britain in two days, South Africa in six, lndla in seven and Australia in eleven, was predicted yesterday by Bir Samuel l-ioare. alr minister in discussing aviation estimates in the House of Com- mons.

Sir Samuel foreshadowed a lu- ture whenthe development of the imperial air services would enable the movement of forces to any threatened point with a swiftness that a few years ago would have appeared incredibie._

He announced that a number of co-operative flights would be un- dertaken soon across the wbole of Africa with the assistance of the South African. Sudanese and other colonial governments and event- ually similar flights ir other dis- tant parts of the Empire.

1f his anticipation were fulfilled he said it will some day not only be possible quickly to concentrate forces where needed, but to econ- omize through its greater mobility.
