This represented payment of the full amount due for the carriage of all the mail on the basis of 4d jier letter, which had been agreed upon before tlie flight was undertaken. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith would lose the amount which he would have received from the New Zealand Government had he taken the New Zealand mail back to Australia.
