PACIFIC AIR LINE
PAN-AMERICANSERVICE
AGREEMENT SIGNED
In the weight of words during the last days of the election campaign the actual signing of the agreement ,batween the New Zealand Government and the Pan-American Airways Corporation for the establishment of a flying boat service across the Pacific, to commence about the middle of next year, passed unrecorded. An inquiry made by "The Post" today brought the reply that the agreement was signed by the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates, as Minister of Transport, at Helensville last Monday. ■ New Zealand, then, after long delay, is to have a place of first importance upon the world air routes, arid must gain great adv. v'ages through the cutting of traveling and special mail tunes between the Dominion and the United States and Canada to days inj stead of weeks by steamer, and in the most valuable publicity from a tourist point of view that will follow from the commencement of this 6000-mile ocean service.
