In Germany, Poland, .Austria and France there is already a
network of aerial routes, and Air Defence .Leagues have sprung up all over Europe. The Soviet Aerial War Poison- Gas Union numbers about four million members. The Polish Air Defence League has 500,000 members. In Czeeho-Slovakia the Masaryk Air Defence League was established last year, and counted_ 80,000 members last December. Special aero- technical courses are to be established at the Finnish Technical Academy in Helsingfors. They are to be in two parts ; local teachers giving instruction in acro-dynamics in the spring, while lectures on aerotechnics, with particular regard to design, will be given in the autumn by foreign experts, who are to be specially engaged for the purpose. Would that our Universities were alive to what is being done in other parts of the world to give wings to the aspirations of youth.
