Not Oficial

Interviewed by a Ceylon Observer reporter, Mr. G. W. J. Pratt, the As. sistant Postmaster-General, sald he had received no official intimation, but if Australia should forward hor

maila to reach Colombo on Wednes-

day morning, the air mails would be

sent on to Karachi from here to- gether with the local mails by train, which takes fully Ave days to get there. From Karachi the mails will be conveyed by the usual air route, making a distinct saving of three days on the sea route.

This opportunity has been afford- ed to Australia owing to the change made in the date of departure of the air mail. The malls used to leave Karachi on Saturdays but new they leave on Tuesdays, so that if the Australian mails reach Colombo earlier than 4 p.m. they will be for- warded by the connecting Talaiman nar train.

hope," said Mr. Pratt, "to be able to save four days on the Bri- tain mail run when the Bombay. London air

mall project has been completed, for instead of five days to Karachi by train it would mean only four days to Hombay."

The first mall for this, air-cum- ocean service is expected to arrivé IR Colombo by the Orient Liner R.M.S. Oronsay which is expected on December 24.
