AIR-TRAINING SCHEME
N.Z. Representatives are Greatly Impressed (By Telegraph—Pres* Association) AUCKLAND, Dec. 22. Greatly impressed with the magnitude of the Empire air-training scheme being inaugurated in Canada, WingCommander Saunders. Chief of the New Zealand Air Staff, and Mr T. A. Barrow, secretary of the New Zealand Air Force, returned by the Mariposa after representing the Dominion at the air conference at Ottawa. While declining to comment on any decisions made, or the cost of the scheme to Britain and the Dominions concerned, they said the conversations that had taken place enabled the delegates to more readily appreciate the difficulties that the Mother Country and the Dominions had to face in respect of training. Canada's willingness to help, and the attitude of the Canadian people toward the scheme, were the subject of enthusiastic comment by all the representatives at the conference.
