AIR MAIL DELAYS.
ANNOYANCE IN LONDON. POSTINGS TO AUSTRALIA. LONDON, OGT. 26 Dissatisfaction in business circles is as great as ever regarding the continued delay in arranging regular Imperial Airways mail postings to Australia. Neither the Post Office nor Imperial Airways indicate when stabilised posting dates are likely to be announced. They only advise postings when the mails are ready. Imperial Airways say the solution of the problem depends upon the Post Office, officials of which say the difficulties will continue until Imperial Airways provide sufficient machines. They add, that these difficulties wil be insurmountable as long as tlhe availing passenger, mail and freight-accom-modation is limited.
It appears that defence requirements are delaying tlie delivery of additional aeroplanes. For this reason mails posted sometimes two or three days before an aeroplane’s probable departure from Southhampton are liable, because of congestion of space, to await later dispatch
