This cancellation will permit resumption of commercial services to Honolulu and beyond, if conditions at that time permit. Since Pearl Harbor, Pan American operated aircraft in the Pacific Area have flown over 22,100,000 miles, carried approximately 60,000 passengers, and more than 36,600,000 ton miles of cargo and mail from the mainland of the United-States to Honolulu, Midway, New Zealand, Australia, and many other islands in the South Pacific. i 183*30 -3fit Yo £93*08 bo&rcis®iay2 BVüW'ri bitch it^oxtor.-u ctsH.
