AUSTRALIA'S PLEA.
British Aircraft Makers Not Interested. NO U.S. 'PLANES FOR DEFENCE. SYDNEY, May 18. The Minister of Defence, Mr. R. A. Parkhill, states that the manufacture of aircraft in Australia will need to be financed with Australian capital, as inquiries in Britain have revealed no present desire by British -manufacturers to establish branch factories here. There would be nothing to hinder any manufacturer setting up an aircraft factory in Australia, said Mr. Parkhill. He added that as far as defence was concerned only machines of British or Imperial manufacture would be utilised. American machines would definitely not be used.
