AERIAL TRANSPORT
RAPID STRIDES MADE. [Pet Press Association. — Copyright J WELLINGTON, This Day. “It may seem humorous to some that this old saltwater company should be taking to the air,” said Sir James Mills, chairman of directors of the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand, Ltd., speaking as a guest of honour at a gathering of members of the Merchants Service Guild yesterday. “There is ho doubt in my mind, however, that the major transport services of the future; as far as passengers and mails are concerned, will be in the air. “Aeroplanes are developing very rapidly, not only in speed, but also in carrying capacity,” continued Sir James, “and the main services to be rendered by ships in the future will be cargo carrying and the cheaper sections of the passenger traffic. The march of science today makes one think-before very long we shall not only be able to converse freely with friends at a distance, but will also see them at the same time” (Laughter). 1
