AIR FORCE OFFICERS TRAINING SCHEME IMPRESSES (By Telegraph.—i ress Association) AUCKLAND, Friday Greatly impressed with the magnitude of the Empire air training scheme being inaugurated in Canada, Wing-Commander H. W. L. Saunders, Chief of the New Zealand Air S<aff, and Mr T. A. Barrow, secretary of the Royal N.Z. Air Force returned by the Mariposa after representing the Dominion at the air conference in Ottawa. While declining to comment on any of the decisions made or the cost of the scheme to Britain and the Dominions concerned, they said the conversations that had taken place enabled delegates to appreciate more readily the difficulties that the Mother Country and the Dominions had to face in respect to training. Canada’s willingness to help and the attitude of the Canadian people toward the scheme were the subject of enthusiastic comment by all representatives at the conference.
