EMPIRE AIR PLANS
DISCUSSION AT MONTREAL
Rec. lp.m. CANBERRA, Oct. 4. The Air Minister, Mr. A. S. Drakeford, will represent Australia at the Empire air conference, to begin at Montreal on October 23. Announcing this, Mr. Curtin said it had been decided to hold the Empire conference before the international air conference in the United States in November. The delegates attending the Montreal conference, which would discuss operational and technical problems connected with the establishment of Empire air routes, would proceed to the international conference.
Officials here believe the Empire conference will discuss plans for interEmpire air lines after the war. The conference is also expected to complete plans for an Australia-New Zea-land-Canada military air service to begin almost immediately and a London-Sydney 60-hour civil service as soon as the European war ends, also the resumption of certain pre-war Empire routes, and the inauguration of others.
