EMPIRE AIRWAYS
AUSTRALIAN COUNTER PROPOSALS UNACCEPTABLE United Press Association— By Electric Tel egraph—Copyright (Received February 11, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, February 10 With little chance of acceptance of Australia’s counter proposals regarding Imperial air mails, the prospect of Britain pursuing her own independent services to Australia and New Zealand are increasingly canvassed. Captain Norman Macmillan, writing in "The Daily Mail,” says: “It appears that Australia has not fully understood the proposals for the co-ordina-tion of the two services—Flying boats on the trunk route and land planes inland. It appears that these offer the best solution of the strategic requirements of Australian defence. Clearly the Empire cannot drop the scheme because it is not acceptable to Australia. Will Australia’s decision force New Zealand to forego the benefits of the scheme? If not, under Mr Parkhill’s proposals letters will go outward at lid and homeward at 6d, thus producing a transport bugbear and empty return journeys.
