MAILS BY AIR.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Jan. 18. The question .of whether the practice ruling between England and South Africa of permitting all first-class mail to be carried by air only would apply when the service was extended to Australia and New Zealand was raised in a letter which came before the Wellington Chamber of Commerce this evening from its London representative (Mr Sydney Jacobs), who commented upon the risk over such a long route. Subsequent spoakers emphasised that the basis of the air mail scheme would be destroyed if the alternative of seaborne carriage were still permitted, also that air carriage was the obvious service of the future and that the risk attached would become less in time.
