In this article I am going to deal.
solely with the possibilities of such
a structure with regard to floating
airports, and in particular those
that have been designed by the in-
ventor for use on the North Atlan-
tic airway.
For some years we have heard of
the idea of floating islands across
the Atlantic en which aircraft
could land to refuel, and thus over-
come the otherwise insuperable dif-
ficulty of bridging the Atlantic and
at the same time carrying in
economic payload.
Many pilots have proved that the
Atlantic can be crossed, but to do
this they have had to carry such
a huge load of petrol that there
was no room for anything else.
Indeed, it is generally considered
that a range of '500 miles is about
the limit for an air -liner running
a commercial service.
The idea of a string of floating
airpprts at intervals of 450 miles
across the Atlantic would therefore
solve this difficulty, provided that
these airports were possible from
an aeronautical, marine and econo-
mic viewpoint.
I personally always regarded this
idea as fantastic until I was given
the opportunity of studying the
claims of the seadrome in detail.
The result of the preliminary in-
vestigations of the past few weeks
that I have carried out with the
assistance of the official represen-
tative of the Seadrome Ocean Dock
Corporation of America leaves no
doubt in my mind that 24-hour
London -New York service is cap-
able of immediate operation from
every point of view.
* * *
The suggested scheme is to moor
five seadromes at 450 -mile inter-
vals along the 38th parallel of lati-
tude. These seadromes consist of
a flight deck 1,500 feet in length
and 300 feet in width, supported on
32 streamline telescopic rillars, 103
feet above sea level.
When in position these pillars are
sunk to a depth of 208 feet below
the surface and ballast and bouy-
ancy tar are so arranged in them
that the centres of bouyancy and
gravity of the whole seadrome
structure are well below the agi-
tated surface of the sea. The sea-
drome is therefore at all times
floating in suspension ire still
water.
The supporting pillars are of such
size, constru tion and shape that
they offer practically no resistance
to waves, and so do not bar their
passage. No energy is therefore
released from the waves to be
absorbed by the pillars as impact
force.
The prospect of the seadrome be-
. ing damaged by a storm, as so often
happens to Atlantic liners, need not
therefore be considered. The liner is
floating in the agitated water, is
constantly breaking waves and thus
absorbing their energy. The sea-
drome is floating in suspension be-
neath this agitated surface, and the
waves pass through the pillars un-
disturbed, as they do through those
of a seaside pier.
I have seen films depicting the
official experiments with models of
the seadrome in one of the United
States Navy Dockyard basins. The
claims of the inventor with regard
to the unique stability of the sea-
drome in stormy weather were here
justified in every way.
I saw on model about 15 feet
long alongside one of the Majestic
to the same scale. The manufac-
tured waves were of such a size
that the Majestic, was shipping them

that the United States Navy De-
partment has given its unqualified
approval to the practicability of the
whole system.
The anchor is of a novel type
designed for the great depth that
it will lie and for the nature of
the bottom, that it will encounter.
It has a rounded top and a flat bot-
om, and weighs 1,500 tons. Special
bouyancy chambers enable it to be
floated to the desired position, where
seacocks are opened electrically, and
the anchor sinks to the bottom. 'Its
speed is checked by means of water
brakes, and the landing shock
should not exceed 15 percent. of the
anchor's weight.
The cable to be used is of the
type used on suspension bridges.
This is because the stoutest chain
cable ever made would break from
its own weight at a depth of 13,000
feet. fhe suspension type cables
have ample strength for them to
reach a theoretical depth of 60,000
feet before breaking. This cable is
to be attached to the seadrome struc-
ture buoy, which in turn, is at-
tached to the seadrome itself. There
is therefore, never a direct pull on
the anchor.
In ' the worst conditions of wind
and tide ever known on the route
to be used the maximum pull by the
seadrome will be 100,000 lbs. The,
mooring system is designed to with-
stand a pull of six times this, and
in addition the seadrome has motors.

about four bushels per year. In the
United States it is only about two
and one-half bushels per person.
On the agenda of the conference,
for discussion, were new uses for
Canadian potatoes, such as for con-
fectioners' glucose, grape sugar,
syrup, starch, potato flour and pota-
to chips and sucl non -edible products
as laundry starch, dextrine, glue,
gum, alchol and in making foundry
moulds. Other means of disposing of
this surplus are the preservation
and canning of potatoes; the use of
potatoes as food for live stock; the
possibilities of extending the market
for Canadian seed potatoes; market
possibilities both foreign and dom-
estic for commercial grades; pro-
blems of transportation and the pos-
sibilities of increasing consumption
of potatoes by advertising.

Mr. Bilkey reviewed factors mili-
tating against any important altera-
tion during the past year in the
fundamental conditions which lay'
beneath the world-wide depression,
such as political upheavals and
recurrent threats of war on the
continent of Europe; collapse of
efforts towards universal disarma-
ment and uncertainties surrounding
developments in the Far East and
continued "It is scarcely surprising,
therefore, that a recent estimate of
the gain in world trade based upon
the exports of 19 countries has
amounted to only five per cent. since
the low paint of the depression was
reached.
"In these circumstances, the eco-
nomic grains actually registered in
Canada in 1934 were all the more
noteworthy. They were significant
of the ability of the Dominion to so
employ its own resources as to at-
tain some measure of immunity from
commercial debility prevalent else-
where."
Mr. Bilkey found large increases
in the physical volume of business,
in external trade, including higher
exports of newsprint, pig iron, steel,
etc., and an encouraging rise in
volume of reveune freight carried
by the railways. The improvement,
however, was by no means general.
There were many lines of business
it failed to react. and a very large
number of individuals derived no
benefit from it. Generally speak-
ing, therefore, the psychological re-
action was disappointing.
Research. Council, appoint a com-
mittee consisting of representatives
of departments of the Dominion
Government to draw up a research
programme on new uses of potatoes,
the preservation and canning of po-
tatoes and food values generally,
including particularly the food va-
lue of potatoes and the claims made
in advertising for various foods and
diets. It was stated that such a
prograniine of research might be
undertaken jointly by the Dominion
Department of Agriculture, the De-
partment of Pensions and National
Health (Food and Drug Laboratory)
and the National Research Coun-
cil.
It was stated that certain of the
investigations projected held out
definite promise of valuable re -
suits. Potatoes, it was said, could
be substituted for corn now import-
ed in manufacturing millions of
pounds of a variety of food pro-
ducts. Dr. W. Galley of the Na-
tional Research Council said his
calculations showed that the entire
might be so used. The possibility

The secretary said he did, not be-

"In any case," he added, "I would
impress on you the desirability to
make your guest, foreign or British,
feel he is not lost but is an essential
part of the scheme of things. The
important part is that you can belie
the government, the municipal au-
thorities and others interested in the
tourist industry to earn that $500;

In this effort newspaper adver-
