TASMAN AIR SERVICE.
PROVISION OF EQUIPAIENT. Per Press Association. v - WELLINGTON, March 25. Orders have been placed for radio equipment for the Tasman air service, and all of the material required is being manufactured in Australia, said Sir Ernest Fisk, of Sydney, who arrived to-day. The material had to be made in Australia, because it could not ho secured from abroad and it was advisable to develop that type of manufacturing as a very necessary part of the defence system. Sir Ernest said that Australian radio manufacturers were not pleased about the restrictions on radio sets to New Zealand while British sets were being allowed in. Ilis own company were not greatly concerned, because the greater part of their export to New Zealand was equipment that would bo bought by the New Zealand Government, as required. If the Government wanted it, there would lie no difficulty about importing it, and if it was not wanted by the Government it was not likely to lie wanted by anyone else.
