WASHINGTON. — With striking swiftness, and while the China Clipper was still on her return trip from the first historic air mail flight across the Pacific, the attention of America and the world was turned to another type of air conquest, the final bridging of the North Atlantic with sched uled air service. For nearly five years now the great international air trans port systems of the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany and Holland have con ducted joint studies looking to ward the solution of technical problems concerned with transAtlantic air transport opera tion. The tremendous strides made by America’s interna tional air transport system, Pan American Airways, cli maxed in the establishment of scheduled air mail service across the Pacific Ocean, served as demonstrable proof that com mercial aviation is finally ready to attack the last great problem standing in the way of an es tablished world system of aerial trade routes. To the United States Post Office Department goes the credit for leadership in develop ment of trans-ocean air trans port facilities. Postmaster Gen eral Farley, for more than two years, has pointed discussions toward both the Pacific and At lantic and has often expressed the hope of the United States Department that scheduled ser vice across both oceans would be established for American commerce before the end of 1936, or 1937 at the latest.
