A modern highway linking Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and India will soon be an accomplished fact, and it will be possible to motor in comfort the 8000 miles from Bombay to London. At a luncheon given by the Western India Automobile Association in Bombay recently, Mr H. E. Omerod, president of the association, said it was proposed that the road which at present had been completed as far as Istanbul, except for a short stretch, should be extended through Anatolia and Syria, and then on through Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan to India, and in ' this manner through Delhi to Calcutta and Bombay. Mr Ormerod added that one of the most important items on the agenda of the conference of the Alliance Internationale de Tourisme, which met in Berlin at the end of May, was consideration of the progress made by the West-East road project.
