IL or IS days by present routes. AS
the service develops night flying no
doubt will be undertaken and the time
greatly shortened"
Speed Desirability Stressed.
The desirahility of faster mail COM
munication between the United States
and South America was impressed upon
Mr.. Hoover during his good will tour of
Latin America in last November and
December, and he entertained the hope
then that the time might not be far
distant when mail would be going by
air from the United States to the prin-
cipal Latin American capitals.
The difficulties in extending the serv-
ice down the west coast of South Amer
lea to Santiago and thence across the
continent to Buenos Aires, Montevldeo
and Rio de Janeiro were canvassed by
Mr.. Hoover during that trip. and he
was convinced that they were not I'M
surmountable. He also was convinced
that the day was not so far distant

Flying Fields Needed.
Flying fields must be developed, par
ticularly in Ecuador and along the far
flung coast line of Chile, and before
there can be night flying full illumina-
ton for the fields must be provided.
Another obstacle to direct air service
between Santiago and Buenos Aires is
presented by the Andes. Experimental
flights already have been promoted by
the Chilean government. which also is
undertaking to blaze the trail north
