EMPIRE AIRSHIPS
MOORING MASTS IN AUSTRALIA AIR MINISTRY’S VIEW. PERTH AND MELBOURNE FAVOURED. (Received Wednesday, G. 50 p.m.) LONDON, February 15. Though it is considered tha.t it will be at least two years .before the new airships are likely to voyage to Australia, the Air Ministry is anxious to have meteorological data completed as quickly as possible. A tendency has arisen among advocates, of airship de-
velopment to conclude that mooring masts should be erected at Darwin, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, but the Air Ministry’s preliminary meteorological survey as outlined at the Imperial Conference definitely limited the masts to Perth and Melbourne, as offering the most stable conditions. It is hoped that Mr. Bruce will indicate the extent to which Australia is willing to co-operate in preparatory work and also in the erection of masts.—(A. and N.Z.)
