U.S. WANT LANDING RIGHTS IN DUTCH INDIES Received Monday, 8.23 p.m. NEW YORK, April 3. The United States Government is opening negotiations with the Netherlands for landing rights in the Netherlands Indies, says the Washington correspondent of the United Press. The Government will make a reciprocal offer to the Dutch of landing rights in the Philippines. Ths is the last link in an aeronautical chain girdling the globe, confirming American dominance in transoceanic air commerce. Although subsidies are not discussed, it is understood PanAmerican airlines will extend the transpacific service to the Indies, which are an important source of raw materials and of strategic value to the United States. The Pan-American service is contemplating an early resumption of the projected line to Australia.
