Mr. Lyons, the Prime Minister, announced to-day that the Cabinet had decided to retain control of and responsibility for the Sydney to Singapore sarvíce.
They had advised Great Britain that they desired to retain the surcharge for a further period of reduc- years. They suggested à tion to 6d, a half ounce from Sydney to London, and 6d. from London to Sydney when the ap- popriate time came. Present rates are 1n. Gd. land Is. 3d,
If Great Britain should agree to those proposals the Common- wealth would undertake to establish an accelerated bi-weekly Avrvico

The Commonwealth belloved that this would be the best way to develop Australian, aviation while at the same time providing an adequate oversens service.--- Reuter.
