AIR COMMUNICATION
PROVISION OF MOORING MASTS.
LONDON, 29th October.
Discussing the question of air communication at the Imperial Conference, Mr. Coates echoed Sir Samuel Hoare's optimism, and said that New Zealand was/encouraging private aerial enter-' prises. New Zealanders had not a flying sense because they had not had an opportunity to develop it. If an air line were established with Australia it would give New Zealand an objective, but she could not yet pledge herself to expenditure on an air-mast. Mr. N. C. Havenga anticipated a development of commercial air transport in South Africa, where at present it was left to private enterprise, but the Government would gladly co-operate in an Imperial air scheme and would consider the making of provision for a mooring mast. Mr. M'Gilligan said the Irish Free State hoped to form a link.in Empire communications. Mr. Monroe promised help in establishing a landing service. Earl Winterton said that the Indian Government would subsidise the Indian section.
