PROGRESS OF CONFERENCE
MR SULLIVAN PLEASED (Rec. 11.55 p.m.) CANBERRA, Dec. 14. The New Zealand Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr D. G. Sullivan, expressed pleasure with the progress of the conference between Australia and New Zealand on the establishment of a Pacific air commission. The commission, which will include Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, will arrange aviation services in the Pacific between Australia, New Zealand, and America, to be operated under a joint agent company. Mr Sullivan said Australia and New Zealand were both anxious to set up the commission to attend to the preliminary work so that the services would be started as soon as possible. He added that it would be necessary in the early stages to subsidise them, but eventually they would become profitable because of future major developments in aviation.
