AIR SERVICE
NOT YET' ACROSS TASMAN (Per Press Assoc' a tion —Copyright). PARLT. BUILDINGS, September 13. “I do not know when the air service icross the Tasman will be inaugurated, md I do not think anybody else knows it the present time,”, said the Rt. 'Hon \[. J. Savage, when asked to comment in the recent statement by Sir George f J oar c e in Australia, that there was not likely to be any service m..» year. Nobody is in a position to-make a statement at the moment, said Air Savage. The sooner wo come to n final decision the better it will he for all concerned, but there are many considerations, including that of the 1 type of machine to he used. In the meantime New Zealand has to put up with the irregular arrival of the air mail from Australia, despatched by tho Imperial Airways. The authorities in tlie Commonwealth send it by the first boat and if there is a delay they are not responsible tor it. VVe have our minds concentrated on a job of concluding arrangements which involve England, Australia and New Zealand at the earliest possible moment.
