IMPERIAL AIRWAYS
WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES. CONFERENCE TO SPECIALLY CONSIDER QUESTION. (Rer. 7.45 p.m.) London, June 15. The Times, commenting on Mr Bruce’s announcement regarding the erection of mooring stations, says it is most encouraging. Special attention will be paid to the Imperial air policy at the Imperial Conference in October at Home. We are running regular routes over 1,500 miles of European territory,, and Australia is running regular services covering 3,000 miles. Sir Samuel Hoare expressed the opinion that within a decade the journey io Australia and New Zealand would be reduced to ten and twelve days. In building this backbone of Imperial communications, the essentials are landing grounds for aeroplanes and mooring masts for airships. He hoped the other dominions would join Australia in the co-operation scheme, thus cheapening Imperial defences.—A. & N.Z.
