EARLY START TO BE MADE. CALL AT SUVA PROPOSED. "I have been advised by PanAmerican Airways that it is in a position to resume its service to New Zealand in the very near future," said the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones yesterday, in an interview. Mi 1 . Jones added that the company had undertaken to make experimental flights to Suva and to continue to use Suva as a port of call should it be found practicable to do so from the technical and operational points of view. "At the same time the company applied for permission to change its route from Honolulu, Kingman Reef, Pago Pago and Auckland, to Honolulu, Canton Island, Noumea and Auckland," the Minister continued. "The New Zealand Government has approved of the variation in the route by the inclusion of Canton Island and Noumea on the understanding that the position would be open to review should the company find it impracticable in the future to include Suva as a regular alightingplace."
