"NOTHING DUTIABLE"
A CUSTOMS DECORD (By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") CHRISTCHUBCH, This Day. There is one piece of official machinery which has treated the transTasman flight in a most matter of fact manner, giving no hint of tremendous significance of the event. In the books of the Customs Department appears the following unemotional entry:—"Arrived —Southern Cross aeroplane from Sydney; passengers, C. Kingsford Smith, O. T. P. Ulm, co-commanders, H. A. Litchfleld, navigator, T. H. M'Williams, radio operator. Nothing dntiable." No outward or inward clearance papers were carried by the 'plane, which in this respect is liko a pleasure yacht, but when cargoes are carried across the Tasman by air the goods will bo inspected just as the goods brought by steamers are.
