THE.•WRECK OF THE • GREAT AIR SHIP What' on earth ' happened a This lyes 'the question; which,, everybody asked as;they heard.:of.tlte wre'ele and destruction - of :;the ' • R=101 ..Sunday morning . Here was •thewtast: word in air -ship• build.ing.'It was ..t a .product of engin- eers"end';*orknen as intelligent .and. as skilled is any;' in the•' .world..Its designers. and builders had the ..bene- fit of all previous experience in air- ship building and navigation.' A sister ship had recently made a trip from Britain to 'Canada and back; practical- ly without ,mishap. If it showed weak- nesses; these surely were strengthen- ed •.in .the R-101. The ship had been' up on trial flights and had acted:. in a way to give confidence to those' who built it, and 'those who .pinned to take it on a trip to India and back.' Yet it had been but a few hours away froni its home• port when word time back' fent" fit had crashed, :ex. ploded' and 'wai..'burned .with 47 of those : who had taken .passage .'in it. Thesefeatures of the disaster •are - call the loss •of the Titanic—the great- ''est water -ship ever built.. The most reasonable explanation. of the `crash of the R-01 is that : it was beaten down by heavy ran, com- bined perhaps with ga'.downward cur - rept of wind. At first `'the rain theory seems far-fetched, but the air -ship was a: monster .presenting a greet surface to falling lain; and, although the water : would immediately start'. to flow towards the earth, in %heavy shower, a great weight'' of •water' would be on •the. huge bag while the storm lasted. Then there was the impact of the failing drops. The fore ce of. one drop of rain is not great, but when millions' of 'drops beatupon a surface, the force of. tee pounding would; according to the engineers, be by no means, negligable. E,videntle''. the -effect of such riin ;as' the R=101 ren into was not properly estimated. And., the effect of the rain appears to have co -nicked with .a downward rush of an, driving the shipio the earth. Judging by the number of this Zep- pelin -type , of air ship' which have come to grief, and', the few which ;have made' successfulflights; and the fact that those which have, made long flights have not 'repeated the perfor-, mane forcefully suggests that this kind of air -craft is still far from 'be- ing satis actory. • • BRITAIN .UNDER FREE TRADE Just now there is a sort of craze" on for Protection—higher and higher protective tariffs. Even in Britain, the one country in the world which 'ventured upon something like a free trade policy, there 'is a strong teed ency to, adopt. a "protektion to .home industries"' policy. : But there is still a powerful Free Trade party in Britain, and, the pol- icy .under which the country' beeanie rich and strong will not be abandoned ewtithout a struggle. The. fact that' the present' tendency is towards greater trade restrictions' is no proof that it is for the better, Lloyd George still. believes in Free Trade for Britain,'and, he points out that, in this time of 'depression, bet- ter wages 'were ' being paid ip Bre. tain then in Any protectionist country in Europe, and that in Britain better hours and better working. conditions prevailed than in any other country in ' Europe. If Free Trade was. bad for Britain how did it come that Brittain financed the' Great War.foie' her' allies. Lloyd says: "We lent moneyto George a Ge g y those protectionis countries; and heaven; knew we would never.get it back." • Free Trade Britain .is the. only European . country that rend its WO and that" is. honestl paying its war .Y debt, Prooteetionist_.l rail e.paid_ those from awe k borrowed money' with 4 shillings in the. ound—one dollar p for five. Italy paid about 5 shillinee in the pound, ,and Germany. did not pay anything at all.'' "Britain," said Lloyd George is' the only country that is paying 20 shillings in' the pound. • If Free Trade was• a fool policy for Britain, how did it come stbot t' that it was able to ray not only its :own way but ter reet•icell - finance the p. y war 'for protectionist France, Belgiuri, and Italy,. And• it Proteet'io . was such • eyes of the toads were sealed over. when. the cregturee; wefe • bleed, but on being• exposed, to rhe light , and air the •sealing• gave way and. the.' toads hopped .about in:' a normal way. These toads had been buried there not less than 300• years 'ago,for it 'is,. known that the Indian. ,mounds were trot' built at a more recent time than that,. end the time may have been longer. But a few years, more• or less, does` not matter. A creature iehat can live. out food, air or light for :a month or a year, likely can live In .that con- dition for an indefinite period.
