AIR DEFENCES.
THE CONFERENCE IN CANADA. RELATION TO NEW ZEALAND. CPer Press Association). AUCKLAND, November 24. Brief reference to New Zealand’s air mission to Canada and the possible effect the Empire training scheme might have on steps in the Dominion, was made by the Minister for defence (the Hon. F. Jones) during a visit of inspection to the Whenuapai aerodrome. “When we receive recommendations from Canada,” said Mr Jones, “we may have to make alterations even at Whenuapai and Hobsonville. We may find that modifications to our scheme are necessary, or that fields and buildings may have to be extended.
“Decision to hold the conference in Canada was reached only a short while ago after New Zealand had already taken important steps, and naturally we will await with considerable interest the views that come from the mission’s investigations.”
