TAIHOA.
As a general rule we have no patience with the policy of “taihoa,” but in the case of aviation in New Zealand we arc glad that the Prime Minister (Mr Massey) doos not intend to ask lor any large sums of money for experimental air services. We are quite aware of the wonderful journeys that i have been made by airships, and of the capabilities of aeroplanes, but it is quite a different matter when one considers them from the commercial standopint. The fact is that aviation has not yet been placed on a business basis either in England or on the Continent. It is quite a relief to hear that the Imperial Government is selling off the airships it had retained for the proposer! Imperial air services. ‘‘The Age” expressed the opini• n months ago that the business was not feasible and would have to be dropped. It will be time, enough when the country is again flush of money to resume experimenting in this costly and pre- ; carious means of communication.
