AIRSHIPS OF EMPIRE.
WHY NEW ZEALAND STANDS OUT. MORE EXPERIMENTS WANTED. (By Telegraph—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. Qiierfioned by your correspondent regarding the cabled statement concerning tile Empire air service the Prime Minister said: "I admit the possibilities of the air service, and believe in time this will be a very important meane of communication, eepfcei&lly between the different countries of the Empire. Still, I do not think that up to the present enough bas been done by way of experiment. That was my impression when I -wa* at the Imperial Conference. It was strengthened by the very sad dieaeter to N33, which was at that time the beet airship which had been built within the boundaries of the Empire.' , Another aspect of the matter which appealed to the Prime Minister was that any service between Great Britain and the Antipodes -would have to pas 3 through part of the journey in winter. Little was known as yet of the difficulties and dangers fehie would entail. New Zealand, moreover, was at present paneing through a time of financial difficulty and wae compelled to restrict its expenditure to most urgent purposes.
