NON-STOP AIR ROUTE
• LINKING UNITED STATES AND ALASKA AGREEMENT WITH CANADA Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright NEW YORK, August 19. The way for a non-stop route linking Alaska with the United States has been smoothed by completion of a civil aviation agreement with Canada. The agreement practically erases the air frontier, and aircraft will be able to circulate almost as if Canada and the United States were one country. American companies state that the route to Alaska was hitherto balked by British interests which, alarmed by American penetration toward Australia and the Orient, feared that the granting of permission to fly non-stop over Canada might interfere with their own plans for a service to the Orient via Canada and Alaska.
