Empire Air Mails
(Received 12 Noon.) LONDON, July 28. Inaugurating the first unsurcharged air mail to Australia, Sir Kingsley Wood, Secretary of State for Air, said he hoped it would not be many months before a regular service spanned the Tasman Sea. The scheme was not a spectacular, costly venture, but a straightforward, normal development. Mr W. J. Jordan, New Zealand High Commissioner, hoped it would not be long before New Zealand would be linked up by seaplane. The Calypso and Cameronia carried 68 bags of Australian and New Zealand mail, weighing two tons.
