AIR COMMUNICATIONS

EARLY ATTENTION DESIRABLE.

(United Pram Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, 22nd November. The Air Communications Sub-commit-tee of the Imperial Conference has reported that it is convinced that the development of Imperial air communications merits the early and continuous attention, of all the Empire Governmfints. The Committee adopted a resolution noting with satisfaction the prospective regular air service between Cairo and Karachi, and the experimental service between Khartoum and Kisumu, also the decision of the British and South A.frican Governments to carry out experimental flights aiming at connecting with the above service, and the decision of the Australian Government to arrange flights to Singapore to link up with the Royal Air Force flights from Singapore to Australia. The Committee recommends the Government's attention to the provision of aerodromes as far as local resources permit, with a view to th« ultimate creation of a complete system of Empire air routes, also to consider the possibility of erecting airship mooring-mast bases for demonstration flights in 1928----29 by airships now being built, and Britain to consider the erection of a second airship shed at Cardington. The Committee approved the holding of an Imperial Air1 Conference in 1928 or 1929. It also approved.the exchange of civil aeronautics information throughout the Empire, and if possible, exchanges of personnel. The Imperial Conference adopted the report.
