AVIATION
OVERSEA FLIGHTS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S ATTITUDE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. CANBERRA, January 25. Mr Bruce, in an official pronouncement on the Government’s attitude towards oversea flights, stated that he would remind those desirous of organising ill-advised attempts that unless the machine and the crew were considered by the Defence Department to be such as to ensure a reasonable prospect of success, then all possible action would bo taken to prevent the undertaking, and all the powers vested in the Federal Government would be invoked to penalise an unauthorised flight. On the other hand, if the Government was satisfied that the machine was suitable, and all the other conditions and regulations were complied with, the Government was prepared to afford encouragement and reasonable assistance to the enterprise.
