ATLANTIC SERVICE
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHTS (Received February 18, 6.5 p.m.) British Wireless RUGBY, Feb. 17 Imperial Airways officials state that the financial provision which has been made by the Government of the United States for the operation of the Atlantic air service is in conformity with the plans which have been the subject of discussion and negotiation for some time. Pending the incorporation of the agreed joint company, in which Britain, Canada and the Irish Free State each will have a financial interest, experimental flights and investigations will bo conducted by Imperial Airways. It is expected that the company will be in a position to operate alternate experimental air mail services by the time the American company is ready to operate. The establishment of a passenger service is to follow as soon as possible.
