TASMAN FLIGHTS

ULM’S RETURN DELAYED OVERHAUL OF ENGINES (Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, May 14. The return flight to Sydney of the Faith in Australia, which was to have been made on Wednesday, has been postponed and the plane, it was announced to-day, will not leave Wellington until Friday or Saturday. “ The engineer, Mr Bolton,” said Mr Him, “ while running over the machine discovered a slight sign of wear in a part of one of the engines. Although it is nothing necessarily serious, there is no reason for taking risks, so we arc having the engines overhauled, and this will probably take a couple of days to do.” GOOD-WILL MESSAGES. Mr Ulm brought the following message from the people of Australia to Lord Bledisioe:—“ By what promises to be yet another and most useful link between two great dominions of the King J have pleasure in sending you this message of good-will. Bay by day the units of the Empire seem to be drawing closer, and if this experiment across the Tasman Sea succeeds, as Ihope it will, it must do much to consolidate and strengthen the relations of New Zealand and Australia.” . The message brought from Sir Philip Game, Governor of New South Wales, to the people of New Zealand says: .Air Ulm has done much to strengthen the material Jinks which two countries.” The message from the Australian Minister of Commerce, Mr E. H. Stewart, to the Minister of Industries and Commerce', Mr Masters, says: “Mr Ulm in undertaking the transmission of written communication across the Tasman in the short space of a few hours is drawing closer, together the tics which unite the two countries in their mutual desire lor_ a still further extension of interdominion trade. The common aims in commerce are bringing into still closer co-operation the dominions of Australia and .New Zealand, whose names are united forever in the glorious name of Anzac.” . The Governor of Queensland, Sir Leslie Wilson, .in a message to the Governor-General, Lord Bledisioe, looks forward to the not distant time when lie and Lord Bledisioe'will be able to exchange week-end visits.
