Aerial Merger

No Unanimity in Rabaul

From Our Own Correspondent RABAUL. March 5.

AN informal meeting of the Legislative Council was held here on the after noon of February 28, for the purpose of discussing and formulating an aviation policy for New Guinea and Papua. The public were admitted to the meeting.

The plan to merge the aerial transport companies was fully considered. Some speakers were for the plan—others against.

Nothing constructive was arrived at, and the meeting was resultless.

Judge H. F. Ayson, C.M.G., Resident Commissioner of the Cook Islands, who has been on leave in New Zealand, joined the Makura at Wellington on March 17, to return to Rarotonga.
