CARRIAGE OF MAILS
None from United States NEW YORK Dec. 23. Considerable significance is attached to the fact that .the Samoan Clipper will carry mails from Australia but not the United States. Pan-American Airways told the Australian Assoeiated Press correspondent that the reason is simply that the United States Post Office has not granted a mail contraet to Pan-American Airways. "It is solely up to the United States," was the comment. Asked whether it was extremely unprofitable to operate a line without an essential revenue-producing contraet from the United States Post Office and without passengers, Pan American Airways stressed the fact that other Pacific TOutes were still running without profit, and it must be expected that at least a dozen flights will be carried out before passengers are taken. It is indicated Congress' failure to extend Pan-American mail contracts will probably be rectified at the regular session opening in January.
