CIVIL AVIATION

INCI-IEASED E X P E N D ITU R E IN AUSTRALIA

In 1940-41 the Commonwealth Government proposed to spend 50 per cent more on civil aviation development and administration than was spent last 1 financial year. The increase proposed in the Budget is from £822.935 in L’L--255.000. The Minister for the Air (Mi McEwan i said that the increase w.,~ due primarily tn the fact that the needs of the R A.A.F. had been reconciled with civil aviation development. It was recognised that the facilities available now to both the R.A.A.F. and civil aviation would benefit commercial; air interests after the war. Though war! services must have priority, it was de- ! sirable that there should be a steady: development of civil aviation facilities, which were of great value to the fight- ■ ing air arm.
