turned on a new floodlighting sys

Bamsay UacDonali's Own Seat How
ever Has Not Been Beported
Laboxites Lose
London, Oct. 28. A smashing vic
tory for Ramsay MacDonald's na
tional government was indicated at
daybreak today on the basis of re
turns from 288 parliamentary con
stituencies. Supporters of the national gov
ernment won 261 seats in the house
of commons, the opposition had 25
and two winners were independents.
A total of 327 seats remained to be
reported, one of them being Mr. Mac
Donalds. This report is expected
later today. Every member of the
national cabinet so far has been re
turned to power. -
The conservatives won by far the
lion's share of the victory. Of the
261 supporters of the government,
222 are conservative members, four
are national labor members and 35
are liberals.
Only two cutright advocates cf
the liberal palocies of David Lloyd
George survived the avalanche.
, Near Conservative Majority.
The overwhelming victory of the
national government forces wan made
plain by the latest tabulation of the
popular vote, which showed conser
vatives. 4,909,328; national labor,
2.869.305; communist, 37.132; li
beral. 8 1 5. S 40. The vote so far Rives
MacDonald the "doctor's mandate"
he asked.
. . The conservative preponderance
indicated It might be possible for
that party to dominate the next par
liament. With less than half the re
turns in, their 222 seats put them
only 86 short of a majority.
The government foices swept out
of office labor's most important lead
ers, chief among them being Arthur
Henderson, foreign secretary of the
MacDonald labor cabinet, who broke
with his lifelong friend and refused
to follow him into the national min
istry. J. H. Thomas, dominions secretary
who stuck by Mr. MacDonald, show
ed the other side of the picture by
again winning his seat in the house
Drift in Labor Centers.
Chief among the surprises of the
election was the strength shown by
the national government in some of
the industrial constituencies where,
labor was supposed to be nrnily en
trenched. Even the labor strongholds
In Lancashire felt the drift.
The labor members who formed
Mr. MacDonald's last labor ministry
were almost all turned out of the
house of commons.
' Among these were Miss Margaret
Bondfield, the nation s .first woman
cabinet member, who had the. labor
portfolio; Tom Shaw," war; Herbert
Morrison, transport; J. R. tjlynes;
home secretary: Arthur V. -Alexan

Atlantic Air Service
Still Distant Prospect
Sir Arthur Witten Brown, First Man to Fly Ocean
with Sir John Alcock, Says Trans-Atlantic -Flights
Are Still Stunts.
Completion

S
'Dramatic End cf First: .Atlantic Flight. - Q
Asserting that trans-Atlantic air crossing will aavar become prac
ticable until a new type in design and construction of aircraft is
developed. Sir Arthur Witten Brown, who flew the Atlantic in 1919
with Sir John Alcock, has admitted that he was wrong in his predic
tioas of 12 years ago. At that time Sir Arthur prophesied that by 1930
trans-Atlantic flying would be but a routine matter. However, on land
ing at New York the other day, for a visit, the pioneer airman declared
that ocean flying is still a gamble, notwithstanding the rapid strides
made by aviation in the last few years. Sir Arthur believes that with
the present design and construction regular air service across the
Atlantic will never be possible. The orthodox type of airplane has
en developed to its highest point of efficiency and still it is not good
enough, he declares.
New York, October 26. Since
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh mada
his spectacular flight from New York
to Paris in 1927, much has been said
and written about the prospect of a
regular trans-Atlantic air service.
But it is not generally known that
such a service was predicted eight
years before the famous Lone Eagle
fligbt by the first man that ever
crossed the gtay Atlantic wilderness
in an airplane. .
That man. Sir Arthur Whit ten
Brown, now an electrical executive
on a visit to the United States, took
off with Sir John Alcock from New
foundland, in 1919, in a plane that
beside the present samples of air
craft development would seem like
a frail box-kite, and successfully
negotiated the first air crossing of
the Atlantic.
It was considered something of
a ' miracle when the daring fliers
landed in an Irish bog, little the
worse for their rapid, if hazardoue,
passage from America.
Immediately the more optimisti;
advocates of 'aviation proceeded to
manufacture a Summer out of one
swallow. "The Atlantic has been
conquered," ' they said, and predict
ed that a few years would see trans
Atlantic flying as commonvlace as
inter-city automobile traffic.
Sir Arthur himself was no less
enthusiastic about the future of
aviation, but was far more conser
vative in his predictions, setting ten
years as the time it would take for
Che new mode of transportation to
be developed to a point where trans-
Atlantic flights would be a reason

able secure and frequent occurrence.
Sir Arthur's ten years have come
and gone. Old Man Atlantic has
been beaten by daring souls who
picked up his challenging gauntlet
and made geed many times since the
Brcwn-Alcock flight. But when Sir
Arthur landed in New York the
other day; he admitted that his pre
diction of twelve years ago had been
wrong;.; ... i.. Mn r , ...
Granted that the, Atlantic has
taken a few lickings, It must he con
ceded that it did not take the full
count. Planes will continue to beat
it, but it, also, will continue to have
its share of victories. In fact trans
Atlantic flights are still purely
stunts.
It is Sir Arthurs belief that al
though the present safety of planes
has been developed to a high degree.
the element of chance has not been
eliminated, nor will it bo eliminated
in the present type of plane con
struction. It is his opinion that avia
tion has progressed as far as it ever
will with the orthodox design and
the equipment available at this time.
Before trans-Atlantic air crossings
can be made with the same certain
ty that one makes them on an ocean
lines, there will have to be something
new in aircraft design.
