AMERICAN AIR LINES
CARRYING 9.C00 PASSENGERS A DAY. ANTICIPATION OF VAST EXPANSION. "United Stales passenger air lines are now carrying approximately 9.000 passengers daily. I am looking forward confidently to the time when aeroplanes flying the Stars and Stripes will be transporting 100.000 every day to all parts of the Western Hemisphere and the world" —so wrote Mr H. Hopkins. Secretary of Commerce, in a recent issue of "National Aeronautics,” the official magazine of the National Aeronautical Association, said to be the oldest aviation organisation in the United States. Commercial aviation’: in Secretary Hopkins's judgment, has proved to be an invincible pathfinder toward that better understanding among the peoples of the Western Hemisphere on which they are now uniting to build an impregnable hemisphere defence. In a decade. Secretary Hopkins added. commercial aviation has grown from a fledgling, timidly trying its wings, until it is today: (1) a highly important transportation system: (2) an important employer of our citizens; (3) an ambassador of good will in the Western Hemisphere, and (4) an important source for first-line fighting men.
