AMY
JOHNSON'S
GREAT
FLIGHT
It
is
no
wonder
the
whole
Empire
grew
excited
over
so
!
gallant
an
adventure
as
Miss
Amy
Johnson's',
says
a
recent
number
of
Overseas.
None
of
the
victories
in
the
campaign
for
the
conauest
of
the
air
has
aroused
more
anxious
in
terest
and
admiration.
It
is
a
signal
demonstration
of
what
i
a
woman
flier
can
do,
and
of
the
enterprise
and
courage
of
British
women
;
indeed,
it
is
no
exaggeration
to
say
that
her
solitary
flicht
of
10,000
miles
from
Croydon
to
Aus
tralia
in
nineteen
and
a
half
days
is
the
greatest
thing
that
j
stands
to
the
credit
of
any
girl
in
the
history
of
the
world.
Though
the
fates
were
.contrary
and
she
failed
i
tier
self-imposed
task
of
lowering
Squadron-Leader
Hirikler's
wonderful
record
of
fifteen
and
a
half
days
for
the
flight
to
Australia,
yet
by
reaching
Karachi
in
six
days,
or
two
days
less
tFanhis
time,
she
has
established
a
record
of
her
own
for
aolitary
flight
to
India
which
will
not
easily
be
bettered.
Bi&when
everything
is
taken
into
consideration,
the
Second'
half
of
her
journey,
because
of
the
plucky
resolution
with
which
she
faced
its
far
greater
difficulties,
which
included
a
constant
battle
with
the
elements
over
the
stormy
Java
Sea,
and
long
flights
over
tropical
forest,
where
the
possibilities
of
disaster
were
many,
was
an
even
finer
performance
than
her
record
flight
from
Croydon
to
Karachi.
Moreover,
it
has
to
be
remembered
that
she
was
using
a
Gipsy
Moth
light
aeroplane,
one
of
the
smallest
of
British
machines,
ana
a
second-hand
one
at
that,
and
she
had
had
less
than
a
hundred
hours'
flying
experience
when
she
started
on
her
great
adventure.
When
the
King
cabled
that
he
was
"thankful
and
delighted"
to
hear
of
her
safe
arrival,
his
words
expressed
the
feeling?
with
which
her
fortune's
Mfrbeen
watched
by
the
people
of
the
Empire,
and
theiSQvpilferred
upon
her
in
the
Birthday
Honors
hdsjejieraatisfaciion.
BIGGER
THAN
STATES
The
same
journal,
commenting
on
the
Empire
movement,
makes
comparisons
with
the
United
States,
and
quofes
Lord
Melchett
as
follows:
,.
.
j
"How
many
of
us
realize
that
the
area
of
the
British
Empire
is
11,000,000
square
miles,
about
one-quarter
of
the
world
s
land
area,
which
is
nearly
three
and
a
half
times
as
large
an
area
as
the
whole
of
Europe?
Just
visualize
that
for
a
moment
three
and
a
half
times
as
large
as
the
United:-S.tatest.io-America
and
nearly
three
times
the
area
of
the
continent
of
Europe.
I
emphasize
those
figures
and
I
think
it
is
important
that
we
should
all
get
that
picture
into
our
minds.
One
more
figure.
The
population
actually
of
the
British
Empire
is
450,000,000,
as
compared
with,
the
total
population
of
Europe
of
only
420,-000,000,
and
more
than
four
times
the
papulation
of
America.
I
want
you
all
to
get
those
figures
in
your
minds;
I
want
to
stress
those
figures.
"Across
the
other
side
of
the
Atlantic
there
is
an
idea
that
we
are
rather
a
small
concern.
Some
kind
friend
sent
me
a
very
ably
written
book
the
other
day
which
had
a
happy
and
cheerful
title.
It
was
called
'America
Conquers
Britain.'
I
felt
when
I
had
read
it
that
I
wanted
to
reply
with
a
book
calledGreat
Britain
Conquers
New
Jersey.'
What
is
the
real
answer?
The
real
answer
is
that,
compared
with
the
British
Empire,
the
United
States
of
America
are
not
in
the
same
street
-a
purely
negligible
position,
in
population,
area,
in
wealth
and
power.
"But
why
cannot
)fe
do
what
they
do?
They
enclose
their
huge
continent
in
one
ring
fence
from
New
York
to
San
Francisco
one
language,
one
council,
one
exchange
of
agraements
of
trade
between
each
other,
keeping
their
country
to
themselves.
We
arc
divided
up
into
dozens
of
isolated
units,
each
with
its
own
fiscal
policies,
each
one
concerned
with
its
own
affairs,
and
thinking
not
in
terms
of
Empire
unity,
but
in
terms
of
locality,
and
eveiy
locality
in
itself
too
small
to
be
competitive
with
a
great
economic
unit
like
the
United
States
of
America.
There
is
the
same
trouble
right
through,
owing
to
people
not
thinking
in
terms
of
Empire,
but
in
terms
of
South
Africa,
Canada,
Australia
and
New
Zealand.
THINK
IMPERIALLY
"This
is
a
big
problem
that
must
be
solved;
instead
of
thinking
in
terms
of
South
Africa,
Canadn,
Australia
and
New
Zealand,
we
should
think
of
the

"The
first
thing
you
want
is
a
conviction,
not
merely
that
you
are
not
going
to
have
a
rebuff,
but
that
you
intend
to
have
a
success.
The
first
thing
you
want
to
impress
on
the
other
man's
mind
is
that
you
expect

to

that

In

in

half
of

year
was
14
ships

As

in

six
months

the

activity

The
'shlpSfVtrtEir.

In

countries
for
Norwegian
account
on
July
l
numbered
the
imasing
total
of
153
vessels
of
1,-091,000
deadweight
tons,
as
compared
with
117
vessels
of
693,000
tons
on
July
1,
1920.
Of
this
total
27
vessels
are
motor-driven
oil
tankers
with
a
tonnage
of
83300
deadweight.
Jreat
Britain
stands
out
as
the
large
t
builder,
having
under
construction
for
Norwegian
account
36
vessels
of
383.960
deadweight
tons,
while
Sweden
is
a
second
with
295,-760
deadweight
tons,
Denmark
third
with
178,200
tons
and
Germany
fourth
with
09,750
tons.
Norway
is
only
building
for
her
own
account
11
vessels
of
10,340
tons.
The
reasons
for
the
low
estate
to
which
shipbuilding
has
fallen
in
Norway
is
attributed
to
a
long
period
of
labor
troubles
and
the
closing
down
of
a
number
of
shipyards.
Figures
recently
issued
by
Lloyds

placed
the
United

second
to
Great
Britain
as
a

nation,

total
of
238,l&
gross
tons
accounted
for
during
the
quarter
ended
June

last.
Norn-ay
was
not
even
listed,
so
small
was
the
actual
volume
of
tonnage
being
built
in
that
country,
but
if
the
total
orders
bejng
built
for
her
account
by
various
nations
are
taken
into
consideration,
she
far
outranks
the
United

in
the
volume
of

This
point
was
recently
emphasised
by

of

of

Shipbuilders,
who
cautioned
