Agreement To Start Service

ABOUT the only definite thing which affects the Pacific, which has come out of the Imperial Conference, is an agreement between Britain, Australia and New Zealand to start the air-mail service between Australia and New Zealand “as soon as the thrice-a-week air-mail service, with flying-boats, com mences between Britain and Australia.”

This may be some time, fairly early, in 1938.

It is understood that Imperial Airways will conduct the service with “Short Empire” flying-boats.

The service will be controlled by a Board, on which each government will have three members.
