For seven years Max Aitken sat in the British Parliament and made lit- tle stir.

The dour, disinterested, solid Glasgow ironmaster was put for- accepted. It was & well engineered coup in which the young Scots-Ca: adept at these things, played a lead- ing part. In the same year Aitken, who had always been accustomed to take a broker's commission on any deal he put through, appeared among the new knights in the honors list. He now stood close to the fount of political power. The war came. Sir Max Aitken went to the front as offi- cial eyewitness with the Canadian ex- Canadian government representative at G. H. Q _in France. From his early days he had always had a flair for getting on with politicians, and now he was always around with the political chieftians.

Ended Asquith’s Premiership. Max Altken in this crisis brought to- gether Bonar Law, the Tory leader; yd George, munitions minister and the chief Liberal after Asquith, and the Ulster die-hard, Carson, leader of a Tory faction hostile to Bonar Law. These men were necessary for a com- bination which would harness all the national energies to the prosecution of the war. But they were all angry with one another. A go-between was needed. Max functioned in his accustomed role. ‘When the time came for the big top~ to-bottom political merger which was essential to save England from the in- ertia of Asquith and his circle, Max Altken had the men needed ,for the merger lined up, and the new cabinet was formed, with Lloyd Owr’e at its head and Asquith excluded. It was a famillar merger operation, although th, whom it blew into the air, subsequentiy spoke of it bitterly as “a well organized, carefully engineered conspiracy.” The new directorate pulled things together and England never looked back. But without Beaverbrook the whole history of the conduct of the war in England, and probably its even- tual outcome, might have been entirely different. Beaverbrook thought the big shots of politics would reward him by giving him the Board of Trade. Strange error for 0 shrewd a man to make! Although the big shots had treated him as an equal, he was not a big shot himseif. He was not well known. His name meant nothing in terms of public con- fidence. He “did not carry any im- portant group with him in the House of Commons. He was a back-bencher. In the reshuffle, then, he was left out. Bigger fellows had to be looked after, pacified, brought in. The go-between was distraught. He was s0 bored and so upset that he went {out all alone and wandered disconso- lately round the War Office, where Lioyd George, the master manipulator, the all-powerful maker and breaker of men (now), was at work.” But he dared not go in. Lioyd George and Bonar Law came to see him a day or two later, smiled, were sweet—but made it clear he was not of cabinet timber. Lloyd George wanted to be nice, however. He wrote later saying that Beaverbrook could do good work in the House of Lords, and would he go there? Beaverbrook accepted the consolation prize. It was his broker's commission on the deal which had made Lloyd George dictator and given England the strong govern- ment which was to carry her through the darkest hours to final victory. He became a baron—and by so doing prejudicated his future chances of rising to the leadership of the Tory party and the premiership. But he could not see then how events would turn out, and to what heights he might aspire. In the last year of the war, however, virtual he did become a member of the cabmet! —minllur of information.

Meantime Beaverbrook acquired a r. He had to have one to ate his gains in the political sphere. Lloyd George was lllppery md favored newspaper - owning above all others. David Blumen!eld ln American, an sstute journalist but no business man, had the Daily Express. It was dying, and Beaverbrook got it at a knock-out price. For a while that paper cost him $200,000 a year. He could afford it. But with a scratch! team around him he got the paper on a paying besis inside five years, and s i bl y an okiching W . of all, the Daily’ M Bonar Law dled lnd was_buried in Westminster Abbey. Beaverbrook was stricken to the heart. He also received what seemed to be a mortal blow in the political fleld. He ,had walked, politically, always in Law's shadow. Now Law was _gone; his main prop had disappeared. He no longer was on the inside of politics. Baldwin, the new chief, and his circle resisted the cele- brated Beaverbrook magnetism and gave him the cold shouldef. He turned his attention to his pa-| pers. He spent much time in a Te-| markable circular office he had made at the top of the Express Bullding. He spent even more time on the telephone —he almost lives on the telephone. The circulation of his dally and Sun- day papers rose like a flood. He wanted an evening paper and did not want to launch a new one. A problem, this, calling for another of these merger operations, those deft deals which dot his career like light buoys in a channel. Hulton, Northcliffe’s great rival, was a sick mn——dylnc, indeed. He was Beaverbrook’s neifhhor in the country. He wanted to out his huge groum, and the Berry brothers—nuw Lord Camrose and Sir Gomer Berry, nvmnz‘ more papers in the aggregat> than one else in the isll'.d 'Ddlyv-hld agreed to buy. The contract was to be signed next day. But between the aft- | ernoon of one day and the morning of | the next Beaverbrook stepped in and | swung the deal over to Lord Rother- mere. The néw name was uuhmmtedi on the 1 contract and the Berrys arrived to find they were too late (but later on Rothermere kindly sold them all he did not want at a fat profit), Received Paper for Deal. As commission on this deal Beaver-| brook took the Evening Standard, the| only paper he wanted. He also ar-| ranged another deal with Lord Rother- | mere. That newspaper viscount saw | that Beaverbrook would now be his| competitor. He wanted a financial in- terest in his group, and Beaverbrook let him have a 49 per cent share, him- | self retaining controlling interest. But to date Rothermere has not got much out of that investment, use the controliing head has Reen umnl profits back into the business, the dividend down and using the !wm-l ermere money to help his papers in the | big fight to knock the Rothermere com- | peting’ papers back into second But there are no hard Rothermere and Beaverbrook dine w gether and are polltlen] allies whenever it suits them to be. Nearly four years ago Beaverbrook suddenly got tired of the business side of his newspaper enterprise, locked his office and announced his departure. He said: “I am never coming back. You | young fellows must carry on. Make it | & great newspaper, won't you?” He | never will return to that place.

He gathered round him all the enter- prising and adventurous elements of the party who disliked Stanley Bald- win's go-slow leadership, and menaced the Tory party into schism.

Today, it is poltical reality. Beaverbrook keeps the cru- sade going. For one thing, the democ- racy has to be educated up to this thing. For another thing, Beaverbrook has found escape from boredom in a cause—and boredom is the dark shadow over the Tife of this man of action. His enemies say he aspires to the Tory party leadership and the premier- ship—although it is tacitly accepted that & premier of England now must be a commoner and in the lower house. ‘Undoubtedly he would like to crown his career thus, but he is much too shrewd to try to push himself in that directior.

AIRPORT BUILDING IN CHINA PROGRESSES | Landing Fields Are Equipped With Hangars, Administration Offices and Radio Stations. Progress in airplane landing facilities in China is shown in a report received from Trade Commissioner Edward P, Howard at Shanghai. For convenience in classifying landing flelds, China has been divided into areas, the Yangtze Valley, South and North China, Manchuria and special territories and the airports, completed or under construction, in each area listed. In the Yangtze Valley there are seven provinces, each province having from two to eight al ¥ ing flelds or seaplane bases; altogether there are in this area 14 completed airports, 17 completed landing flelds and one intermediate landing field, one partly completed seaplane base and two sea- plane bases, one airport and two in- termediate landing stations under construction. At all of the completed airports there are hangars, administrative buildings and radio stations. Information con- cerning equipment at the landing flelds is not available in many instances. At Lunghua airport (Shanghai), partly completed, temporary hangars, a radio station, meteorological station, repair shops and an administrative building have been constructed; the landing fleld is in good condition. At two .i.r- ports, one at Nanking and one at Shanghal, there are metal hangars. In South China seven airports have been completed; all but one equipped with hangars, radio stations, adminis- '.rltlcn buildings and with landing areas in most cases in good condition. een landing flelds are completed and 14 are under conmstruction. In ad- dition -thefe are three sea~ pline bases. In North China, Manchuria and special territories, there are 15 complet- 1 under construction, 35 pleted seaplane base. One intermediate landing field is being built at Tientsin. ‘There is only one purely commercial airport in China, located at Peitatho in Hope! province; one has been proposed for Linsi. Four military airports locat- Canton; - four landing fields, one complete, at Wuhu, and three under construction at Ichu;; Shasi and Tientsin and a temporary floating muan at Kiukiang ne used by planes of the Chinese National Aviation Corporation.
