Sir Samuel Hoare, speaking at the Crown Colonies Conference, emphasised that the assistance of the colonies was essential, as the co-operation of the dominions would enable the building up of Empire airways. He urged delegates to consider closely various uses of aeroplanes in addition to the carriage of mails and passengers, including defence and commercial development. The Straits Settlements were showing interest in aviation, starting the first Crown colony light aeroplane club. The conference should also consider whether it was possible to utilise Singapore as an air junction for Anglo-Indian and Australian services.
