Air-Mail

Service For Tahiti

T PAPEETE, April 30.

HE Government at last has ended our communications problem by pur chasing, in Honolulu, a Grumman Mullard plane formerly owned by Henry Ford, Jnr. The plane arrived in Papeete on April 26, and already has commenced a regular mail service between Tahiti and Aitutaki, in the Cook Islands, where it connects with the New Zealand National Airways plane, which is routed via Fiji and Western Samoa.

We have been without a regular airmail for many months.
