The Government is giving full consideration to the necessity for New Zealand to keep abreast with overseas development regarding safety in aviation and the maintenance of the highest possible standard of efficiency and progress. With a view to giving practical effect to this policy, stated the Minister of Defence, the Hon F.

While in Australia he will study the methods of the Australian Aeronautical Inspection Department.

Mr Kean will remain in England for about 12 months, after which he will return by way of the .United States, where in Washington he will spend six weeks or two months studying the methods of the Bureau of Air Commerce.
