Subject to certain public safe-guards, these marketing boards can and do, in various ways, exercise eontrol over sales of these products by individual producers in the interests of the whole body of In the interest of market stability the government has taken steps to regulate imports of certain classes of agricultural produce, namely, meat, bacon, eggs, potatoes, oats and processed milks.

To Include Canada In Air Mail Network (By the British Aircraft Society.) Sir Philip Sassoon has announced official plans for the development of Empire air communications which extension and expansion on a "litherto unapproached any-where-|n the world.

There will be four or five services weekly in each directfen between England and India, two between England and Australia and England .and South Africa, tlifiee between England and Singapore and England and East Africa. Canada is not mentioned in Sir Philip's statement, but plans for-inclusion of that great Dominion within the imperial air network are being energetically pushed forward; I confidently expect a regular trans-Atlantic air route to be in working within three years. Great Britain is the first country in the world to adopt the policy of sending all first-class mails by air. The next two years will be years of intensive preparation for the new and augmented services. New aircraft--faster and larger than any yet in service--must be designed and built. The routes must be thor-• oughly equipped with lighting, radio and weather stations. Aerodromes must be improved, additional emergency landing grounds laid down. The general adoption of night flying, essential if large passenger-carrying aircraft are- to maintain the promised schedules, means dependence on ground organizations to an extent far greater than is necessary with day flying only. Along the routes, guided by visual and Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome If you have catarrhal deafness or head noises go to your ^"uggist and get 1 oz.

Anyone who has j catarrhal deafness or head noises should give this prescription a trial. adio beacons, and in constant touch with weather and control stations, the future airliners will fly by night as easily as by day, their passengers accommodated in sleeping berths. Such continuous flying will give accelerated communication without the need for extremely high cruising speeds, which are still considered unduly expensive by some CHEST COLDS Issue No. 7--'35 British air transportation experts. Sir Philip declared that the Government's hope was that letters posted in the United Kingdom would pay about the present Empire rate of l%d. for carriage by air, this t0 apply t0 the first half-ounce instead of the first ounce. He explained that correspondence covering at least eight sides of specially light paper could be sent within the half-ounce limit. He made the important point that the whole scheme, . which would multiply three fold the mileage flown annually on the Empire rout- ' es, depends for its realization upon the willing co-operation-and support of all of the governments concerned. Full success, indeed, can come only with the whole-hearted approval and support of the government of every Important first steps have already been taken in the obtaining of airplanes suited for the accelerated services. Imperial Airways, stated Sir Eric Geddes in his recent speech to the company's shareholders, are placing orders for four "prototype" craft, two landplanes and two flying boats. These will probably be produced by four different firms. They will be thoroughly tested in service before the big production orders demanded by the new program are placed.
