NO CONCESSION.
LETTERS TO CANADA.
N.Z. AIR FORCE TRAINEES.
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day
The Postmaster-General, the Hon. P. C. Webb, stated to-day that there appeared to be an impression that the recently announ led concession of ninepence for half-ounce letters addressed to members of the British armed forces and dispatched by Empire air service applied also to letters addressed to New Zealand Air Force trainees in Canada. Unfortunately this was not the case.
Canada, said the Minister, was not served by an Empire service, and letters dispatched by air for trainees there bad to tie paid for at full rates, namely, 4/ per half-ounce if air transport as far as the United States only was desired, or 5/ per half-ounce if air transport to the letter's destination in Canada was required. The Department had no option but to forward by surface letters inadvertently posted with the ninepence concession.
