Hongkong Thousand Miles Nearer California AMERICA FINDS NEW ROUTE TO FAR EAST

ON the west coast of the United States, commercial aviation is about to have a new trade, route to the Orient by way of the Arctic. The new proposed commer- cial air route will travel over the Arctic to Asia and the fertile tradelands of Japan, China and Malnya.

In the immediate future the grants ing of an air-mull franchise for af 170-mile sky-way from Great Falls, Monian, to Lethbridge. Conada, the last nie 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 Lano

Nations of the world have been working on the plans for a transport Inne between Asia, Canada and Ame- rien with the route just south of the Arctic Circle.

This will bring Hongkong about 1,000 miles near Calflor- la and Canada than the present route over the trans-Pacific course.

Last year Howard Hughes, the American, flashed down the Aretle route, and it is reported he is about! to make another survey flight on this The Japanese particular section. used this route on their "good will flight" around the world.

Immenso Revenue

The revenue possibilitles from such an air route are immense. No rail- roads or highways serve the upper Arelic or Canada. Large aircraft hauling freight through the rich of and mineral lands of the north in Canada and Alaska would definitely be prontable.

And an all-land route to Asia not would touch many a city served by air to-day. The Fact- flo route, which will always be valuable, pauses only ai far-away mid-ocean islands

SWISS BAN FOOD

FOR NAZIS

Germany's foreign trade has re- ceived another jolt through the ro- cent Swiss revision of the clearing system, which shows a deficit of

10,700,000 due to Switzerland,

To wipe this off the Swiss are forced to accept what they can get from the Nazis. The Intier chielly depended on machinery and coal for their exports to Switzerland, but owing to their lack of steel and their home consumption of coni, both of these are now almost unobtainable, To try to increase the production of coal for export the Nazis have taken between 20,000 and 30,000 workers off road and railway work and put them in the mines,

On their side the Swiss have dras-

tically reduced their exports to Ger- many. One ratusure is that neither food nor clothing may now be sent to Germany from Switzerland.

Hitherto, the number of small par- cels addressed to private individunis In Germany, sent from Swiss shops and paid for by Swiss, English, American and refugee sympathiacfs with German relatives or friends, amounted to many thousands of tons a month, particularly tea, coffee and woollen clothes,

"Hitler must clear the way for peace." the announcer continued. Hitler really loved Germany, as he has so often and so solemnly as- serted, he would have abdicated long ago.

"Should he and his henchmen not resign in time anly one possibility re- mains the overthrow of the Hitler regime by the German people rising in revolt against their destroyer." Radio Warfare Preferred

The Nuzis have started operating a powerful broadcasting station in the Siegfried Line, near Saarbruecken.

opposite, chiefly consisted of defamatory re marks, many of them scurellous, about Britain and the British.

The announcer stated, among other things, that the British troops are hanging their washing, not on the Siegfried Line, but in French houses. far behind the front.

Nazis' Toy Balloons

The first war news reel to be shown in Berlin contains pictures of Ger- man soldiers near the Siegfried Line tying pamphlets to toy balloons, which are to tell the French the "truth about the war."

Another incident depicts the flight of German bombers from Heligoland to Scopa Flow, dropping bombs on "the country of the capitalistic, British."
