Sir Donald Banks, Director- General of the Post Office, made this statement when he landed from the Cunard-White Star liner Aquitania, which docked 16 hours Inte because of the fog.

Sir Donald was accompanied by Lt. Col. Sheimerdine, Director- General of Civil Aviation. With Mr G. E. Woods Humphreys, managing director of Imperial Airy ys, they were parties to the akr .nent just concluded in Wasington between Great Brl- tain, America, Canada and Ireland) for the establishment of a trans- Atlantle air service.

must not be thought that there is any question of an American and Great Britain monopoly of the service. The agreement is based on the prin ciple of full reciprocity, and does not preclude the possibility of similar arrangements between the United States and other countries. "Probably two routes will be used-the shorter North Atlantic route in the summer, time and the southern route by way of Ber- muda and the Azores during the winter."
