BRITISH PLANS TO BE CHALLENGED
TT is becoming increasingly clear that Great Britain is not to be allowed to esta- blish a commanding position the Atlantic airways without a struggle.
on
Other nations are beginning to` realise that the North Atlantic line is likely to prove the most .remunerailve of all the world'e air nes, and they are making preparations so that they shall be in a position to compete with Britain.
An agreement has been reached between representatives of Im- perial Airways and Pan-American Airways for co-operation in the running of an Atlantic air line by way of the Azores and Bermuda; but there is a body of opinion in America that believes that Ameri- en should free herself from all commitments and run her own air Hines independently.
The recent auccess of the new Pan-American · flying boat, the China Clipper, on the Pacific crowing has encouraged this opinton, and it is held that the American lines should retain complete freedom of action, so OH to be able eventually to establisk all-American air lines going right round the world.
