In view of a recent cable an- nouncing the extension of the Indian Air Mail service to Port Darwin, the following is interest:-

Details have been issued now of a deputation from the London Chamber of Commerce which waited on the Secretary of State for Air to urge the development of night air mails and the exten- sion of the England-India service to Australia and New Zealand.
Lord Herbert Scott, president of the Chamber, was accom- panied by Colonel the Master of Sempill and Sir Robert McLean, the chairman and deputy chair man respectively of the Civil Aviation Section of the Chamber. They
were received by Lord Amulree, who was accompanied by Mr. F. Montague, M.F., Under-
Secretary, Colonel F. C. Sheimerdine. Direc- tor of Civil Aviation.

The Master of Sempill dealt with the proposal for the institu- tion of non-stop night air mail services to important Continental centres about 1,000 miles distant from London, which had been put forward last year.

Reasonable Fee.
Lord Amulree inquired what the Chamber considered a reason- able fee for a letter to India.
Lord Herbert Scott replied that 3d. would be a fair figure. The Chamber felt that air mail could only be popularised when charges had been reduced to a point where the public would think of the air mail as a normal method of dispatch and not as an emer- gency service. The only way to reduce the charge was to reduce reason the Chamber had advocat- the initial weight and for this ed the introduction of 4 oz. unit of weight, with a corresponding reduction in charge.
Sir Robert McLean pointed out that the average speed in tween London and Karachi was Summer on the Indian route be-
about 28 miles an hour. Mails ought not to be kept stationary for approximately 16 out of the 24 hours merely because they
had to travel at the same rate as The separation of passengers. passengers from mail should be recognised, and where traffic did not justify separate passenger and mail services over the same route a mail service operating on a 24-hour schedule should be given precedence.

As this would involve the lighting of routes, it was suggest ed that a plan for Empire air mail services should be prepared so that the necessary work, in- volved in lighting the routes might be put in hand immediate ly. A reliable and regular 3 day schedule to Calcutta, 7% to Sydney, and 3% to Wellington should be well within the limits of possibility. The Chamber urged the desirability of putting into operation at an early date that portion of the route lying be (tween Calcutta and. Anstralia.
