"The ties that bind us are strongar than the tics of commerce. They aro the ties of a common kinship and in the future Australia and New Zealand will march side by side as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations," said Mr. J. A. Lyons, Prime Minister of Australia, in a good-will message broadcast by him from Canberra to New Zealand on Saturday night, and relayed by the YA stations. Ho said that the two countries were more than neighbours; they were brothers and sisters who were closely united in war and had become conscious of their common .destiny in peace. Referring to tlio aviation exploits of Mr. C. T..P. Ulm, on which'he bestowed the highest praise, Mr. Lyons said that once again he had demonstrated how closely Australia and New Zealand were being drawn by aviation. "Today was his seventh crossing." said the Prime Minister, "and he is making such a habit of it that-we are erasing to regard it as being remarkable. We feel that Mr. Ulm belongs almost as much to you as he does to us. You have always given such a warm welcome to Australian airmen." Mr. Lyons said that no one could deny the value of the progress that was being made in tho flying of tho Tasman, and there was no doubt that regnlar services would come.
