OWING TO DEPARTMENTAL OPPOSITION.
Sydney, February 3

In a letter to Colonel Brinsmead, Director of Civil Aviation, Mr .Tolley stated that, although the money was in hand to complete the purchase of the monoplane at present in bond in Sydney, the position had become intolerable as the result of the attitude of ( the Government, and it had been decided to return the money to the subscribers rather than ask them to risk a big expenditure in the face of official threats to prevent the flight at all costs.
