OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE FIELD
Trans-Atlantic air mails were discussed by Brig-Gen. Sir Frede- rie Williamson, Director of Postal Services lecturing at the Royal United Service Institution, White- ball, recently."
The next big problem looming ahead," he said. "Is the bridging of the Atlantic by a regular air service, linking Great Britain with Canada and the United States.
"Provisional arrangements have been made between the Govern- ments concerned, and it is hoped that experimental flights will shortly begin..
"But experiment is one thing and regular practical operation another." added Sir Frederic. "Other countries are in the field, and varying methods are being tried.
"He will be a bold man who tries to fix the precise date on whten a regular mali and passenger service between Europe and North Ame- rica will be a realised fact, or who ventures to say whether the acro- plane or the airship will ultimate- ly bold the field for long trans- océanic flights."
COST OF UNION'S SERVICE Sir Frederic said the Post Office was responsible for two per cent.
