Antialien Bill Passes Commons in World War I Era
In Washington on October 27 the navy department anticipated early contract closure for the British airship R-38, with a 2.5 million dollar appropriation for purchase and pilot training. The R-38 would outsize the R-34, boasting 724,000 cubic feet of gas capacity and 60 knot speed. In London, a government defeat over alien restrictions led to amendments to preserve prewar pilotage agreements with France affecting French and English pilots and the renewal of certificates in New Haven and Grimsby.
