age new industries and to 'make. Brit-
ish goods attractive -a very worthy
object. He mentioned that', as a first

this month at which will be displayed
those new inventions; new processes
and new. materials' that sprang from
the war; and with them the first post

• The Aircraft Industry •
The delegates were given a particu--
lariy good opportunity to inspect . Bri-
tain's accomplishments in aircraft.
The Ail• 'Ministry. treated .them to fly-
ing visits (literally) to three of its
establishments—at 'Hullavington, Old
Sarum and Farnborough (Hampshire),
where they were, shown everything in
military aircraft, from the Gloster
Meteor, and the De Haviland Vampire,
jet planes flying'at 500 miles an hour,
to helicopters, which make only 125
miles an' hour, but `ean be manoeuvr-
ed hither and thither with fantastic
facility. At Farnborough, which 'is'
the Air Ministry's research and test-
ing establishment, a remarkable e rn-
prete exhibition o.f engines; and other
equipment, had been' gathered from
all England, and twenty-five dif-
ferent types of -planes' were flown for
our edification. Britain is producing
twenty-seven types of civil aircraft
and thirty-five in the military field,
We were also shown the pressure
omparfinent, built for • Winston
hurchill, 'to overcome his doctor's
bjections to his flying because of his
endency to pneumonia. It bad,'never
een used. The Empire Training
chool at Hullavington is intended for
raining pilots from all- parts .of the
mpire, including Canada.'
The Navy took the Press , party to
ea, from Portsmouth, on H.M.S. Oc-
an, a 23,000 -ton 'aircraft carrier,, from
whose deck. sixty flights and landings,
were staged, including several' by a
et propelled Vampire. It was a most
nteresting and .enjoyable 'afternoon.
The whale 'experience left ..the im-
ression that Britain is determined• to
aintain her tend in the 'military aqd
oval 'air fields:.

We ran into another view . up.
Scotland; where an eminent Britt
designer expressed the opinion th
the British aircraft industry was
III strangled
g by the air policy of
Labor Government. The Air Whilst,
was the sole' customer for air er
and its "experts' had • their o
stereotyped ideas of What:- sort

bother with new ideas. ' The re
was that. designers did not .have t
inducement of' opportunity to expe
ment that would be theirs if lhe keen competitipn among priva
companies. For this reason our crit
considered the Americans were ge
ting ahead of the British in civil avi
tion. They already *ad a plane th
would carry over 200 passengera an
their smaller trans-Atlantic plan
had larger capacity than the 'Britis
My. informant also Claimed that
.the result'of Air Ministry regulation
restricting the operations of privet
ly operated civil aircraft to 50 hou
a month on any route, air travel w
costing nearly twice as much as wa
necessary. Thie view raised the i
teresting question, as to whether th
same restriction of enterprise is g
ing to apply to other branches . of i
dustry brought, under governmen
control:
Tour of British Industries '
We were given a further insight i
to British industry in the course of
ten days tour of the Provinces"
an, excursion into Scotland. We tr
elled and lived comfortably On asp
eial train of sleeping `and dinin
coaches which was a credit to th
British railways: At Manchester w
visited cotton mills. • One -company
that of McConnel & Co., had been i
business for 150 years and claimed t
be the largest firm of•fine cotton spin
ners and doublers in the world, wit
5,365,000 spindles. Their vast mill i
being re -equipped with the most mod
ern machinery.,,. The cotton industr
is, however, much - exercised over th
action' of the Labor Government i
closing the Cotton Exchange. In th
same, city, we were shown throug
the imnrens.e works of the Metropoli
tan -Vickers Electrical Company, whey.
20,000 men 'are' employed. Two bay
of one factory would each house th
Queen Mary, funnels anti all. Th
company turns out all kinds • df ele
rice, equipment, up to generators o
35,000 H.P, and sells 'to Russia and
all parts of the world, except '.th
tatess and Canada. Six 'hundred en
ineers•and "staff are employed ,in 'th
research organization „where they
made million • volt lightning for us
his firm had ,much to do, with the
evelopment of radar, which won the
attle of Britain,•.and there was evi-
ent -bitter resentment against 'the
tench for giving its secret to the
ermans: Our • host at luncheon was
Merman Luke Hogan, the Lord May-
r. He wore the gold chain and other
nsignia which he' had discarded
hile visiting in '''t;anada.
At,'Liverpool. •we crossed. over t�
ort 'S.uu'light, to„ see the model vil-
age; and soap works of Lever Bros.,
here, noi'nmally, 10.(100 etnployees'are,
ngaged in the manufacture of soap.
ut what, interested" us most there
was the beautiful Lever Memorial Art
allery, with its wonderful art col-
ctions, on which many millions of
0uruds have been spent. It was hard
o drag the delegates• away from view -
g the art treasures.
• • A Day on the Clyde
A,t Glasgow there was a trip don
he Clyde, the• great' river made bee
an. Originally the Clyde was "only
8 inches deep .at Glasgow 'We visit-
cl the shipbuilding yard of :John

lantic in five days, John Brown not
only buids the ships but the engines
that drive them. -
Where is Billingham`?
The party was billed to go to Bil-
lingham. Just where Billingham was
nobody seemed. to know. However,
we found it was in the County of Dere
bam. near Stocktdli-ob-Tees. There
the British Government had set out
tc build a nitrate plant in the Great
War, becausie the German submarines
threatened to cut off the supply of
that essential for explosives and fer-
tilizers. The plant was not completed
when the wear ,vas over. 'It subse-
quently. eartie into possession of Im-
perial Chemical Industries, a merger
of chemical companies, which turned
it into the second largest chemical
plant in the world, employing 15,000
and turning tuft fertilizefa, refriger-
ants, synthetic fuels (petrol), building
materials, plastics" and other products.
The steam plant' uses 2,000 tons of
coal daily and generates 85,000 H.P.
of electricity. The buildings cover
1,000 acres. -Still greater things are
in contemplation, on a new site.
8,•000 At One Meal
•Our final industrial visit was to the
clothing factory of Sir Montague Bur-
ton, at Leeds. Started in 1900 with a
capital of £100, the business has
grown into the largest tailoring work-
shops in the world, employing, norm-
ally, ,12,000, with a capital of £8,000,-
000,- and -with 563 branches scattered
throtughorit Britain. The pride of Bur-

Re -Opening Of Royal Winter 'Fair
Everything is in •readiness for the
re -opening of 'the Royal Winter Fair
in Toronto on November 12, The Fair
will continue through ,to November
20:., During the war years this leading
Canadian agricultural fair was cancel-
led due to the >luildings being occu-
pied by members of the Armed Forc-
es. Since the war ended the build-
ings have been overhauled and redec
orated end are now in first-class
shape for accommodating the 15,1000
head of live stock, the thousands of
,entries in the fruit, seeds, grains'and
other exhibits, for the incomparable
flower show, which was always one
of the most attractive features of the
Royal, and the mane pther attractions
of the fair. More entries in every
class of exhibits' have been made for
this year's Royal than ever before.
Formal °opening of •the 18th Royal
Winter, Fair will be .at the Horse
Show en the evening. of Nov. 12 by
Hon. Ray Atherton,' United States
Ambassador to Canada. .On Monday

Eight thousand qf them can 'sit down

meal, at 8 pence, or 15 cents..
• Altogether the Press party was
pressed with the scale of British in-
dustry, and with the spirit of deterna-
ir�}}ation• and optimism with which it is
titcklieg the difficult post-war situa-
tion. To what extent British industry
can rise superior to the handicaps and
Problems imposee by. the country's all-
out war effort remains to be seen. Cer-
toinly Canadians must admire the
courage and the co-operation of man-
agement and labor. Perhaps •their task
in competing for export trade 'will be
rendered less difficult- and more suc-
cessful by the industrial strife on this
continent and by the higher ctlsts of
production that must follow.
