ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA.
Sir Eric Geddes spoke of the Eng-land-India service.
"It is the aim of the board,” he said, “to continue the line all the way to Australia, and in this connection we have been negotiating - with His Majesty’s Government in India for the operation of a service between Karachi, Delhi and Calcutta,
“The negotiations with the Government of India were inconclusive so far as a permanent service is concerned. We have, however, offered to charter to that Government aircraft for a service between Karachi and Delhi, and possibly on to Calcutta, on a temporary basis for a period of two years, to connect with our England-India line, and we hope that this offer will be of service while the Government, of India is shaping its civil aviation policy. “The board is already in correspondence with the Government- of : Aus-
tralia and the Home Government on the subject of the continuation of the line from India to Australia.”—'Wellington Post correspondent.
