PACIFIC AIR MAIL.
ACCEPTANCE OF OFFER URGED. t VERY REAL ADVANTAGES. iPer Press Association.) NAPIER, February 18. The continued delay in the negotiations on the trans-Pacific service proposed by Pan-American Airways has ■prompted Mr M. G. S'. McCaul, Weilington, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, who is visiting Napier, to issue a statement on the subject, as follows: — “The suggestion that there lias occurred a serious hitch i lit ho .negotiations between the New Zealand Government and Pan-American Airways for the establishment of air air service will be viewed with alarm by all commercial men who have given any thought to the very real advantages that will accrue to New Zealand from tho establishment of such a; service.
We do; not yet know whether the proposed trans-Tasman services will eventuate, even if New Zealand contributes a heavy subsidy. The transpacific service is within our grasp and no subsidy is asked. Surely it seems wise to stop haggling, and close the deal while we may. We should not allow this opportunity to pass unless there are grave objections that have not so far been disclosed.”
