A denial that the New Zealand Government. had raised any difficulties in connection with the proposed Tasman air mail service was given last evening by the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon M. J.

The message from Sydney was as follows: “The Canberra • correspondent of .the 'Sydney Morning Herald’ says that a hitch has occurred in the negotiations for the establishment of an airmail service across the Tasman. New Zealand, he states, has raised difficulties which will have to be settled by direct negotiation with the British Government before the discussions can be continued.”
