Iteferriug'to his recent trip to, rte

tattle on its expenditures on aviation.
He had visited eight aircraft factories
and fond, then ,all busy. ,The execu

get Canadian business, but the minis-
ter informed tlieni' that Canada, itself
had an air.Craft construction industry

much impressed with the .care with
which this dirigible was' being groom-
ed for its trans-Atlantic voyage. 'He
had assured those in authority that

The' Aviation League, General' Mac -
Brien said, was 'a patriotic' society.
with its objective 'the stitrifilation of
interest, in flying throughout' Canada.
In addition • to those aoVvely engaged
in aviation, the League sought to 'en-
list those who ;had not any practtoal

Paying tribute to •the League as an

.'ed its efforts to encourage air-miird-
