Mr H. J. Mackinder, writing to the Press, pleads for the retention of British airships in the interests of communication between Britain and Australasia. He says that on the onc< hand there is need for the most rapid and therefore the. costliest transport of mails and a few important passengers- On the other hand it is essential for the quick development of these thinly populated lands that there should be the- cheapest carriage outward of .first-class passengers and mails, which could travel by airship.
