AERIAL DEVELOPMENT.
NEW ZEALAND TO ENGLAND. IN 12 DAYS. OR LESS. (Bv Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLlNGTON.^Wednesday. “ I believe aviation is more an instrument of peace than of war,” said RearAdmiral Byrd. “It tends to bring the nations of the world closer together, ami to know is to understand. Knowledge lessens criticism. “ in a few years I believe great air-, ships will bo flying across the Atlantic Ocean, and in a few more across the Pacific. I hope some day to revisit New Zealand in one of those big airships. I believe the development of aviation will cut down your trip to England to 12 days, or probably less.”
For Hie aeroplane, however, Admiral Byrd did not predict the same development, although he said he considered that eventually aeroplanes would be regularly flying across the great oceans, with landing stations established at various points en route.
