...same time the principal link, so far as reparations are concerned, between the Allies and Germany. Upon his shoulders will rest a fair share of the responsibility of operating successfully the Experts' Plan, and, let it be not forgotten, upon the Plan's success reposes the economic equilibrium of a continent. Clearly Mr. Gilbert will be one of the biggest men in Europe and will exercise such power as would make many a Mussolini or a Primo Rivera turn green with envy. Alone from thousands of financial wizards, Mr. Gilbert has 'been selected as the wizard of them...
...reporter of the Military Aviation budget, announced the completion of tests of a "ghost plane" which will fly pilotless 100 miles out of sight and rain death on enemy armies and cities in the next war. A gyroscopic stabilizer re- places the pilot for the maintenance of equilibrium.' Wireless guides the plane at will and makes it land precisely at a given spot, however far away from the point of control. The discharge of powerful bombs will also be controlled by wireless. Similar experiments are being conducted in England...
...Dawes reparation plan. The latter is based on the principle that Germany can pay reparations only in so far as the world is willing and able to accept German goods. The world, however, cannot afford to take too great a quantity of these, or else the economic equilibrium of other countries will be disturbed. Hence Germany must be given an economic outlet outside the main commercial markets, if her paying capacity is to be restored...
...tion-and a drink of water. When an airship has flown a great distance, she has naturally consumed an enormous weight of fuel. The ship being lighter, it was formerly necessary to release the valuable helium gas and diminish the lift of the gas bags to re-store equilibrium. Besi'des being a source of expense, this meant that there was less reserve of gas left for emergencies. A new process is now available on board the Shenandoah whereby the weight of the fuel burnt by the engines is automatically compensated for. When gasoline burns, the hydrogen it contains...
...study meteorological conditions round their particular starting point for months. True the wind is the sole driving, force, but its direction and intensity vary from height to height. The: thing is to keep the craft at that altitude where the wind effects are most: favorable. Suppose a balloon im equilibrium at a certain height. The: sun may come out, heat the hydrogen, contained within the gas, cause it to rise too high. The unskilled pilot: may let out gas in too much of a hurry, drop rapidly, throw out too- much ballast to check his descent, shoot up and lose...
