"AMAZING POSITION"
POWERS OVER AVIATION
CANBERRA, March 8. "The defeat of the aviation proposal, at the referendum creates an amazing position," declared the Controller of Civil Aviation, Captain E. C. Johnson. "Anybody can fly without a licence in an unairworthy machine provided he does not fly between States for commercial purposes. The Commonwealth's powers, as hitherto, are limited to the control of aviation in territories and in relation to trade, and commerce between the. States and with other nations. . The: Commonwealth cannot deal, except in a very limited way, with civil flying within a single State." ___^
