PACIFIC AIRWAYS
HAWAII-NEW ZEALAND SEAPLANES NOT FAVOURED (Received August 10, 0.35 p.m.) NEW YORK, August 15 According to the Honolulu correspondent of the United Press Association, Mr. William Miller, superintendent of airways for the Department of Commerce, is of the opinion that fast land aeroplanes will be more practical for the contemplated Hawaii-New Zealand service than seaplanes. Mr. Miller points out that Baker. Jarvis and Howland Islands have adequate space for landing fields, whereas the waters in the vicinity generally are too rough for seaplane landings. The permanent development and colonisation of the islands is planned.
