TASMAN AIR SERVICE
RADIO EQUIPMENT ORDER IN AUSTRALIA (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Orders have been placed for radio equipment for the Tasman air service and all of the material required is being manufactured in Australia, said Sir Ernest Fisk, of Sydney, managing director of Amalgamated Wireless (Australasia), Limited, who arrived by the Dominion Monarch. The material had to be made in Australia because it could not be secured from abroad and it was advisable to develop that type of manufacturing as a very necessary part of the defence system. Ho said that Australian radio manufacturers were not pleased about the restrictions on the import of radio sets to New Zealand, while British sets were being allowed in. His own company was not greatly concerned, because the greater part of its export to New Zealand was equipment that would be bought by the New Zealand Government as required. If the Government wanted it, there would be no difficulty about importing it, and if it was not wanted by the Government it was not likely to be wanted by anyone else.
