GOVERNMENT ATTITUDE
KINGSFORD SMITH'S SCHEME
Inquiries made in official quarters indicate that there is little possibility of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's scheme being adopted by the Government, in view of the fact that New Zealand is already keenly interested in the British proposal to institute a comprehensive service in 1937. The fact that there is no indication that the Australian Government is supporting Sir Charles's scheme is another important consideration. The essence of a successful air-mail service, run on a payable basis, is that the carriage of all letters by air should be compulsory. This is provided for in the British scheme.
