Pan-American Airways announced that after March 15 it expects to omit Bermuda in trans-Atlantic flights to Europe. Pan-American Airways explained that it was placing two vessels in mid-Atlantic to furnish' weather reports and that this enabled the elimination of the call, at Bermuda. The announcement did not mention the British inspection of United States mails at Bermuda, which caused a storm of protest, but it is assumed that this is an important factor in the decision.
