Dutch Bulbs Coming
 Back On The Market

TORONTO, (P) Dutch bulbs will be plentiful in Canada and the United States by next September, says Anthony Roozen, who has come to this continent to make ar- engagements for resumption of the bulb trade.
 Roozen who was food controller for northern Holland from 1922 to 1945, said the bulb fields were never flooded but some were dam aged by the explosion of abortive V-2 rockets fired by the Germans.
 Toronto residents saw an ad- vance showing of postwar Holland tulips this spring in Queens park the bulk of a shipment of 100000 bulbs sent the Canadians by the Dutch as a liberation gift.

Big British JET Plane
Expected 10 Fly Ocean
Round Trip in Day
By {. G. Shepherd
North American Newspaper Alliance


LONDON, Dec. 1.-Speculation
in Britain concerning the future OF
commercial aircraft has focused at
tention on three of the newest types.
Two of these aircraft-the Bristol
Brabazon and the Saunders-Roe
flying boat-are of abnormal size.
Their loaded weight will be about
100 tons. The third is the first at
tempt to design jet-driven air
liner capable of making relatively
economical use of jet propulsion.
Jets are inefficient as compared
with airscrews at speeds below 500
mph. The DH-106, an airliner OF
loaded weight of about $4,000
pounds, is expected therefore to
have a speed of more than 500 mph.
Operational Problems.
Operational problems arise in the
use of the big landplane. Runways
of greater strength than are found
at most airports will be needed to
take the enormous loads. At pres
enJ only two airports in the world
one, in London and one in New
York-have runways which could
be guaranteed to bear these loads
A third runway OF adequate
strength is now being made at
Bristol for the trial flights OF the
big liner.
The Brabazon will not go into
regular service until 1851 and run
ways 90 not take as long as aircraft
to make. But if no more are pro-
vided, the Brabazon will have few
alternative landing places on either
side of the Atlantic and therefore
will have to be sure of the weather
on every journey.
BY 1851 the approach systems at
the principal airports should have
improved and bad weather risks
may have been appreciably les
sened. In that event, the Brabazon,
with its huge capacity, should be
! 1Uo Ola GAL oS1C"o WALL W
driven by gas turbines and its cruis-
ing speed will be about 300 mph. 1t
should be able to carry 10 passen-
gers on q direct fight between
London and New York.
Airlines Handicapped.
AS for the big flying boat, opera
tors are handicapped because gov
ernments expect them to provide
most of the services at marine
base, whereas all the facilities at
landplane bases are provided by the
authorities.
AS these have to be duplicated at
every port of call, the operator tends
to regard the flying boat as uneco-
nonical although its performance
may be equal in other respects to
that of the landplane. British ex-
perience is that the travelling public
prefers the fying-boat for long
journeys.
The OH 1O6 will test the reactions
of the public to really fast flying
With this liner, the crossing OF the
Atlantic should take no more thar
five hours and the full journey be.

IN STOCKHOLM this summer l
had q delightful visit with Mr..
Gunnar Anderson, vice president
Of the Swedish Federation Of
Trade Unions. Mr.. Anderson is
well informed, intelligent man,
who recognizes clearly the prob
lens Of both management and
labor as we'll as the rights and
responsibilities of each. He an
swered questions put to him in
q fortnight manner, giving sta
tistics and figures from memory.
Labor unions in Sweden have
been operating for more than so
years. The Federation is COM
posed of 46 separate unions rep
resenting trades or divisions of
trades. Membership totals 1906
600, most amazing number in
view of the total Swedish popula-
tiom of only 100000. The So
cialist Democratic party, strong
est among the ranks of labor, is
also the controlling party in the
government.
Outside LABOR MANAGE
Influence MENT relations are
excellent throughout
most of Swedish industry Dis
agreements and strikes are not
common. One reason for this is
the constant effort put forth by
the Federation to improve under
standing between employers and
employees. When the need arises,
"negotiation" committees attempt
to reach an agreement, but if that
fails the parties involved resort
to Cancellation. Mr.. Anderson
stated that Cancellation is pre-
ferrcd to arbitration Because it
