COMMENT BY MR HOLLAND
“ CONSIDERABLE STEP ALONG ROAD” From Our Own Reporter WELLINGTON, Feb. 15. “The news from Canberra that the Australian Government has given approval for the designation of Melbourne as an international airport is a considerable' step along the road towards the establishment o'f a South Island-Australia air service,” said the Prime Minister (Mr Holland) this evening. “One of the several difficulties in connexion with this service was that hitherto Melbourne was not -so classified.” “The announcement by Mr T. W. White (the Australian Minister of Civil Aviation) that the Australian Government was considering negotiations for a service shows how quickly things have travelled since we announced our decision to work towards the establishment of one,” Mr Holland said.
