EMPIRE AIR MAILS
Delays Alleged LONDON, September 28. The chairman of the Australian and New Zealand Merchants and Shippers’ Association (Mr D. Vernon Tomson), in a letter to “The Times,” states that he is disappointed with the drastic limitations in the new half-ounce air mail for business houses. ■‘The exporting community requires an ali air-mail service to carry shipping documents,” his letter declares, and goes on to suggest that it would be better to defer a further move until full service could be given. Mr Tomson states that while homeward air mails continue to arrive from Australian and New Zealand in about four days, the so-called outward air mails, which presumably go mostly by sea but cost 15 a half-ounce, take as much as 49 days from London to Australia.
