WORLD SPANNED BY AIR
URGENCY OF TASMAN LINK “BRITAIN MUST BESTIR HERSELF’’ United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 3, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, January 2. “The Daily Mail” in a leader says: “The Samoan Clipper, roaring seaward, brings nearer the age prophesied by Captain Peal, retiring commander of the Queen Mary, when ocean liners will have to compete with transoceanic aircraft, when Britain’s Empire service joins Australia and New Zealand, across the Tasman Sea, the world will be completely spanned by air. Anglo-New Zealand negotiations to create this last link should be hastened. There is every reason to hope that Anglo-American co-operation in the Atlantic mail service, starting during the spring, will be counterparted in the Pacific. Britain must bestir herself to gain a rightful share in the communications across this immense ocean, washing the shores of three great Dominions.”
