CIVIL AVIATION PACT
CANADA AND U.S.A. ERASE
AIR FRONTIER.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. WASHINGTON, August 19.
The way for a non-stop route linking Alaska with the United States has been smoothed by the completion of a civil aviation agreement with Canada. The agreement practically erases the air frontier. Aircraft will be able to circulate almost as if Canada and the United States were one country.
American companies state that the route to Alaska has hitherto been baulked by British interests which, alarmed by American penetration toward Australia and the Orient, feared that the granting of permission to fly non-stop over Canada might interfere with theirjjwn plans for a service to the Orient via Canada.
