EMPIRE AIR MAILS
SHIPPERS DISSATISFIED DISCREPANCIES IN ORGANISATION LONDON. Sept. 28. The chairman of the Australian and New Zealand Merchants and Shippers’ Association, Mr D. Vernon Tomson. in a letter to The Times, says he is disappointed in the drastic limitations of the new half-ounce air mail for business houses. The exporting community required the air-mail service to carry shipping documents. The letter suggested that it would be better to defer a further move until a full service could be given. Mr Tomson says while homeward air mails continue to arrive from Australia and New Zealand in about four days, the so-called outward air mails, which presumably go mostly by sea, but cost Is 3d for half an ounce, take as much as 49 days from London to Australia.
