AUSTRALIAN PLANS.
Several New Services to Be
Started.
DARWIN TO SINGAPORE. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 12 noon.) CANBERRA, this day. The Cabinet has decided to adopt the recommendations of the Air Services and Communications Committee that Australia should control the service from Darwin to Singapore. The Cabinet also adopted the report on air mail services within Australia. The committee's report contains a number of recommendations for the governing of flying in Australia.
It advises the immediate calling of tenders for four mail services, namely, Darwin to Singapore, Darwin to Cootamundra (which would distribute mails for Sydney and Melbourne), Catherine to Perth, via the north-west coast, and Melbourne to Hobart. The committee states that an Australian service to Singapore would not involve so much expenditure as contributing to an Imperial air mail service.
