CIVIL AVIATION
POSSIBILITIES IN CANADA. VAST DISTANCES TO BE COVERED. GOOD FLYING WEATHER, (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received December 8, 12.30 p.m. OTTOWA, Dec. 7. At St. Catherines, Ontario, Sir Alan Cobham, when interviewed to-day as he entered Canada in the course of his lecture tour, said: “There are greater opportunities for the development of aviation throughout the Dominion than there will ever be in the Home Country for the simple reason that, whereas in England we are handicapped by short distances, very bad visibility, and the lack of the necessity for flying, the Dominion has vast distances to be covered and as -a rule good flying weather and has the opportunity of proving flying to be the quickest means of transportation. The great hope for the development of civil aviation in England and Scotland is the private owner who will use the aeroplane chiefly for the pleasure of flying from one' place to another visiting friends.”—A. and N.Z. cable.
