NAVAL OFFICER'S DISCOVERY IN AUSTRALIA

ACTIVE preparations by a ♫ foreign power to establish seaplane bases in northern Áus- tralia have been discovered by aj former naval officer engaged on survey work in the Gulf of Carpentaria, states A message from Canberra.

Abandoned camps, bearing traces of the fact that they had been used for charting and mapping sites for seaplane Anchorages, were dis- covered on lonely parts of the coast.

When the matter was brought be fore Federal Parliament, Mr. Abbot, a NS.V. member, moved that the House should declare the closer set tlement of north Australls a matter of urgent national importance, and requested the Government to open a port in the Gulf of Carpentarla which would be available to all classes of shipping.

Ha is Eric Joseph Gardner Camp (33), of Cottleigh Road, Kilburn- and he told a newspaper representative after the four years' efforts to perfect his invention.

"It is connected with the remote, control of aircraft gunnery," he said, "My eagerness to perfect it seems to lave led to this trouble.

"MY ONLY CRIME” was working on secret aircraft and I asked, quite openly, for in- formation from a colleague that would help me with my invention. He gave me it and I wrote it on slip of paper and put it in my wallet. This is my only crime.
