CIVIL AVIATION.
SEPARATE CONTROL URGED. DISTINCT FROM SERVICE ; FLYING. AERO CLUB SUGGESTION. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. The separation of the civil aviation branch from the Defence Department was suggested as desirable by Mr. G. M. Spence in his presidential address to the New Zealand Aero Club to-day. At the present time, eaid Mr. Spence, aero clubs received subsidies out of the aviation vote, which, in its turn, was part of the defence vote. Mattere affecting aero clube had to go through the ordinary machinery of the Defence Department, whereas the Director of Air Servicee should be able to go to the responsible Minister. The' club should make some representations to the Government along those lines, said Mr. Spence. Civil flying was distinct from service flying in Great Britain and Australia.
