AIR SERVICES.
THE EMPIRE SCHEME. COMMITTEE’S REPORT. NO DEFINITE DECISION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn Copyright. London, July 27. The Australian Press Association learns that the Daily Chronicle’s sumnrltry of the Aviation Committee’s report is misleading It is believed the report does not make any recommendations, but merely sets out the costs of commissioning and operating the existing fleet of air ships for the purposes of Imperial communications between England, India, Africa, Australia and New’ Zealand, as compared with alternative, services by aeroplanes.
The committee dealt with various schemes involving Government expenditure by Britain and the Dominions, also Mr. Ashbolt’s and other civil proposals, but did not commit themselves to any scheme. It is understood the immediate result will be to obviate the scrapping of the Imperial Airship Department, which the British. Government contemplated doing in the middle of August, leaving the Imperial and Dominion Governments the opportunity of considering the report, either during or subsequent to the conference. A special meeting of the Conference will consider the report on airships.
