CONSTITUTION OF AUSTRALIA
JUDGMENT CREATES MORE DIFFICULTIES
FEDERAL CONTROL OF AVIATION (UNITED peess ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) (Received November 15, 7.30 p.m.) LONDON, November 14. “The Times,” in a leader, reviews at length the difficulties of the situation arising from the judgment of the High Court of Australia invalidating the Air Navigation Act after the marketing case, and expresses the opinion that there is little doubt that the electors would grant powers to control aviation. But although the Government is confining the powers sought in the forthcoming referendums to the minimum necessary to carry out its functions, even the modest request about marketing is meeting strong opposition, and may not be carried. Commenting on the states’ and other criticisms, the article says it is unfortunate that the Federal Government, in the midst of a controversy regarding one amendment, is compelled to seek another, but the authors of the constitution did not contemplate a world in which aviation, labour conditions, and marketing would become matters of international agreement. Consequently they have not provided for possible difficulties, which has added fresh fuel to the controversy on the extension of Federal authority.
