Special to the "Hongkong Dally Press"

On the west coast of the United States, commer- cial aviation is about to have a new trade route to the Orient via the Arctic. The new proposed com- mercial air route will travel over the Arctic to Asia and the fertile trade-lands of Japan, China and the Malays.

In the immediate future the granting of an air-mail franchise for a 170-mile sky- way from Great Falls, Mon- tana, to Lethbridge, Canada, the last link in an all-land- route from Los Angeles to Nome, Alaska, will have been forged.

Test flights by several nations have culminated in the formation

of air maps for the quick hop over

less than 150 miles of Bering

Straits to upper Siberia.

TRANSPORT LANE

帅

Nations of the world have been working on the plans for a trans- port lane between Asla. Canada and America with the route just, south of the Arctic Circie.

This will bring "Hongkong about 1,000 miles near Call- fornia and Canada" than the present route over the trans- Pacific couINE.

The revenue possibilities from such an air route are immense. No railroads or highways serve the upper Arctic or Canada. Large the rich oll and mineral lands of the north in Canada and Alaska would definitely be profitable.
