PACIFIC AIR SERVICE
Sir, —In common with all other citizens of Auckland 1 view with apprehension the continued delay of the Government concerning acceptance of the offer made by Pan-American Airways. It requires no great imagination to foresee what will happen if we lose this opportunity. Australia, having a mind of her own, will welcome the proposal (which undoubtedly will be made to her if the New Zealand Government does not soon accept,) and will subsequently become the great connecting link between two world-wide air services, while our own country, which iniglii; have held that enviable position, will be at a dead end —on a feeder service across the Tasman to connect us with the main routes. The remarks of Mr. Spencer I?. Mason, quoted in Tuesday's Hrkald, aptly sum up the thoughts in the minds of most of us. Surely our Government will not wilfully throw away such a great opportunity for the Dominion's advancement merely because of moral pressure from sectional interests in England. Looking Forward.
