IMPERIAL AIRWAYS.
AUSTRALIA’S VALUABLE ASSISTANCE. By Cable—Pres3 Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received Juno 15, 7.45 p.m.) LONDON, June 14. “The Times,” commenting on Mr Bruce’s announcement regarding the erection of mooring stations, says it ia most encouraging. Special attention will be paid the Imperial air policy at the Imperial Conference in October. “At Home,” says “The Times,” “we are running regular air routes over 1500 miles of European territory, and Australia is running, regular services covering 3000 miles.” Sir Samuel Iloarc (Minister for the Air) expressed an opinion that within a decade the journey to Australia and New Zealand would be reduced to ten or 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 a cooperation scheme, thus cheapening the cost of Imperial defence.
