flight studies have been in progress for the last year over both projected Atlantic routes of Pan American. These are the shorter northern route by way of Newfoundland to Ireland, and the long good weather route by way of Bermuda and the Azores to Europe. Pilots have been in constant training on Pan Ameri- cans other routes running into South America and the Orient.
 The final step is the ships them selves. Pan American, according to J. Carroll Cone, Atlantic division manager, expects delivery by spring of six 50-passenger Boeing flying boats, which are more than half again as large as the Martin clip pers now in use on the Pacific.
 In December Pan American called for bids on minimum of three and a maximum of 24 trans-oceanic planes capable of carrying 100 passengers and cargo on nonstop flights of 5000 miles.
 Requested cruising speeds were 200 miles per hour at sea level and 300 miles for altitude flights. These would bring London within F hours of New York.
 Looking to future transportation needs, the Export Steamship com- pany of New York, running regular mail, freight and passenger lines to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, first investigated transatlantic flying more than two years ago, MT. Eaton now reveals.
 In April, 1897, American Export Airlines, Inc, was chartered as wholly subsidiary of the Export Steamship lines and under the direction of the same officers. These are w. H. Coverdale, presi- dent; John Slater, vice president,

 Unquestionably the first Ameri- cans in the transatlantic opera tion will be Pan American Airways. The vast company now operates 40,- GOO miles of airlines in and over 39 countries, was first to span the Pacific and, in cooperation with British Imperial Airways, made first transatlantic exploratory flights last summer.
