AVIATION POLICY
INDEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT AFTER WAR PLANNED BY AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT. DECLARATION BY MR CURTIN. (Special Australian Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. “Australia must organise its war effort in the air to obtain the greatest value after the war,’’ the Federal Prime Minister (Mr J. Curtin) has declared. This is taken to indicate that the Government intends to proceed with plans for making the Commonwealth independent of outside sources of aircraft supply. The Government is reported already to be studying new types of aircraft which could be made in Australia and adapted for post-war manufacture. The War Cabinet has appointed a special committee to study Australia’s civil aviation organisation policy. This is the first step towards a planned Australian civil aviation policy after the war.
Mr Curtin said the development of post-war air transport would be vitally important. Australia must be able to exploit for civil purposes the progress made as a result of the intense development in military aviation. Aircraft, aerodromes and internal air routes had to be organised in Austra-lia,-and participation in overseas routes was highly important to the Commonwealth.
