DEVELOPING AIR ROUTES
BETWEEN AMERICA AND ASIA CANADA AND U.S., CO-OPERATE. (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 10.45 a.m.) Ottawa, December 12. Preliminary plans for aviation routes, involving Europe and Asia, were announced to-day, following a conference between the Post Office officials of the United States and Canada, who discyssed a scheme to develop a route from Calgary, Alberta, into Alaska, thence to Asia. It was agreed that unless Canada and the United States joined in the development of the Asiatic air route, serious competition might come from Russia in a few years’ time. The Asiatic service is likely to be inaugurated in three years.
It is announced that a programme is now under way in the United States to develop an Atlantic air mail via Bermuda and the Azores.
