f|!HE resumption, on December 9, by the X Huddart Parker liner “Wanganella,” of the Australian-New Zealand ser vice (interrupted in January. 1947, when she ran on the reef outside Wellington Harbour on her first post-war voyage)
should improve all surface communica tions between New Zealand, Australia, and the islands of the Central South Pacific.
The “Aorangi” now is running regularly between Australia and North America, with calls at Auckland and Suva; there is some talk of another liner entering this service in 1949; and it seems likely there will be another modern passenger ship soon on the Sydney-New Zealand run.
The Trans-Pacific sea-communications position, whch has been deplorable for years, should be better soon.
