AIR SERVICE ACROSS Admiral
THE
ATLANTIC
Survey Work Completed
By Pan-American
The thrill of satisfaction with which America greeted the Hughes round-world flight in less than four days has been succeeded by a realisation of its value in demonstrating the practicability of trans-oceanic commercial transport.
The feat has thus turned attention to the preparations in progress for a regular Atlantic service. Several nations are building ships for that purpose. But it is taken for granted that Pan-American Airways, whose clipper ships already span the Pacific on regular runs, will be first.

This is to build new factories with Canadian and British capital which will manufacture American types of planes and engines with the help of American technicians. To that end, according to persons clore to the alr erali industry, American companies are already negotiating with Cana-ranteeing the security of dian authorities for licences.
