TASMAN AIR MAILS
A QUESTION OF COST STATEMENT BY MR. FORBES [by TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON, Friday The Prime Minister, Mr. Forbes, said to-day that the bringing of mails across the Tasman by air was a matter for the Postmaster-General, and had not been before the Cabinet. It would cost a good deal, and it depended upon how much we were prepared to pay. He was not inclined to think that the time saved would warrant the extra cost. ! The time saved would not be very great in the case of mails from England unless the aeroplanes arriving in Australia just failed to connect with the transtasman steamers. The mails could be flown across in a day, but steamers did not take long.
