Since Whithy's aim is to have the site developed by the Government, the General ad- vised writing to the Secretarv of the Department of (National Defense, asking to have an official sent to inspect and report on the suitability of the designated areas as a base for a training school for land and sea planes. For the past two years, a search had been going on for some such place ag Whitby ean offer. Camp Barden has proved unsatisfactory, largely 'on account of its isolation. Hamilton and Deseronto were both investigated, with a view to moving the air training school, but the decision was unfavorable, in both cases, because of lack. of landing space.

LONDON TIMES PRAISES FERGUSON Comments Favorably on En deavor at Bilingual * Settlement London, Sept. 28.--The limes praises Premicr G. Howard Ferguson of the Province of Ontario for endeavoring to settle the bilingual question in the cchnols of Ontario based on the report of the special committee published on Wednesday, and says the significance of his action will be appreciated in other parts of Canada, notably in Que- bec. The paper comments on the multiplication of the cases of estrangs- ment and suspicion betwen the religious groups in Ontario and Quebec since the war, and it observes an apparently distinct tendency in Canada to become divided politically, and along racial lines. "This does not lead in the direction of peace and prosperity," the Times says, "and is in no way consonant with the frequently expressed aims and policies of the great statésmen of the past, most of whom devoted their lives and energies to the task of consoli- dating 'the races of Canada into a single united nation." The Times thinks Premier Fergu- son's act may help to break down the harrier between the two races in the two provinces and prevent the forma- tion of a solid political block in Quebec similar to the "sclid south" in the United States.
