BRITISH AIRSHIPS
RETENTION FOR SPEEDING UP TRANSPORT URGED FIRST-CLASS PASSENGERS AND MAILS By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, July 5. Sir H. J. Mackinder, M.P., writing to the Press, pleads for the retention of British airships, in the interests of communication between Britan and Australasia. He says that, on the one hand, there is need for the most rapid, and therefore the most costly transport for mails and a few important passengers. On the other hand, it is essential for the quick development of these remote and thinly-populated lands that there should be the cheapest carriage for out-wnrd-going plant and emigrants, and for homeward cargo. First-class passengers and mails could travel by airship, and steamers could be built of economical tonnage and speed, and fitted to carry only one class of passengers, with more than steerage comfort. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
