"When peace the full use of radio all the way across and we can afford, six motored ships with se aled-in cab- ins for high altitude flying," "wel told me, "there will be no type | of weather we cannot master." . It is his prediction that there will be hourly service across the Atlantic after the war on a 16- hour schedule from point to point. . «But what, I asked, will happen to steamships for passenger «+.

It's nice if you can spare the time to disregard a taxi" : What about airline faves? . ., "In" free competition," he si airline will be able to underbid a steamer by about 50 per cent. It now costs ahout $700 to get across the Atlantic by air but this is due mostly to the war emergency. At. ter the war I don't think it will cost more than $100 Tor an over night hop across the Atlantic."
