Chathams air link
The Government had shown “callous disregard” | for the people of the Chatham Islands by stopping the' air link with Christchurch,: the chairman of the Lyttelton electorate of the Nat-i ional Party (Mr R. A. Gor-! mack) said in a statement. It was incredible that the Government should sever auch a necessary service to save $3500, he said. Chatham Islanders would now have to meet the extra cost of travelling from Wellington to Christchurch when they had business there.
