! PORT WASHINGTON, July
2s.-Ths Atlantic ocean is being
flown by commercial air liners
three years late.
When Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh strobe down the gangplank
lof the cruiser Memphis on his re-
turn from his plight to Paris in
1927, he forecast regular passen-
ger and mail service between the
old and new worlds in perhaps
five years
| It was technically feasible to
establish transatlantic service in
1884.
But three years sped by before
great flying boats began droning
back and forth across the ocean in
anticipation of timetable arrivals
and departures by the spring OF
/ 1888. In the meantime, the Pa
cific had been bridged.
The nub of the situation on the
Atlantic air lanes lay in crancel-
Tory conversations.
U. S. Leads Race
Ths race to establish regular
transatlantic air service is on to-
day. It is political race, a
jockeying for position. The stake
IS international prestige.
The United States is the
be,I-wether. This country has
two distinct advantages;
finer technical touch in
ocean flying, and more inter-
national agreements providing
bases of operation.
Pan American airways, our sole
trans-ocean commercial flying
company, and Great Britain's I'M
/ perial airways are cruising back
and forth across the north Allan
tic, jotting down notes on the
weather, analyzing the perform
ances of their flying boats.
+ The trips constitute survey
flights or, more properly, training
( flights for the crews.

i Next month Germany and
France will dispatch seapIanes

After-effects Of the World war,
continuing to agitate Europe, are
now having repereussions in the
Holy Land. where a British COM
mission has proposed the partition
Of Palestine to end Jewish-Arab
outbreaks and bring to fuIfillment
two British promises dating from
the European confIict.
In 1915, in order to unite the
Arabs and lead them to throw off
the Turkish Turkey then
being an ally OF Germany Great
Britain promised independence to
the Arab provinces of the Turkish
empire. Lawrence successfully
led the Revolt in the Desert
In 1917, seeking the support OF
world Jewry IN the darkest days
Of the war, the British govern
ment, through the Balfour Dec
laration, promised national
homeland for the Jews in PaIes-
tine.
Hard To Keep Promises
Fulfillment Of both promises

The commission has recon-

into sovereign Jewish and Arab

mandate over an area containing
Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Max

is administered BY the British
government under League 81

Palestine is about 140 miles
