It la fore cast here. British postoffiw, airway and avia tion officials are here to start laying plans for a rrgular trans Atlantic service with bases In Ire land and Newfoundland which will IlnH Britain. Canada and the Unltnd States, and ensure the delivery of malls In Montreal within three days after their dispatch from London. The spectacular plan, in whien both government and private enter prlso will co-opernte, contemplates a change as revolutionary ns that Involvrd In the change from nailing tpw1s f.o steamships.

St. John's, New foundland, two years ago, and 1& will be to the foro In future par leys. After finishing tholr conference here. Sir Donald Banks, dlrector genernl of the British postofflre, Col. P. C. Shelmerdlne. director of civil avlntlon, and C3. R. Woods-Humphrey, manaser-director of Imperial Airways, will go to Washington. "Thfi proposal." said one Cana dian offlclnl, "envisages British and American co-operation on a fifty fifty basis. Preparations, are so far advnnced that It is expected experi mental flying will begin next yenr. Compromises like the ship-to-shore service have dropped out of the picture. The project has virtually narrowed down to the Ireland New foundland route. Arrtlce lioute Opposed. "For a time the arctic route was favored, since It would have al lowed a series of base to be estab lished In Labrador. Bafflnland, Ice land, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the distance between which would not have been greater than BOO miles. But CAnada always has maintained that the severe climate, shortness of the summer season, and the Inaccessnblllty of some of the haws made the arctic rout Imprac ticable, anc apparently others have come around to our view. "Machines capable of making a long hop from Ireland to Newfound land required by the more south ' erly route already exist In the United States, and they will be available next year In Great Britain. It Is possible that until they have been further perfected It might prove necessary to shift In winter from the North Atlan tic to the South Atlantic route. Cinimlft Vital Mnk. "The north Atlnntic once con quered, the most direct commercial airline to the Orient will lie across Canada, Joining Chicago, which may be token as the center of trans portation on North American conti nent, with Toklo passes through Winnipeg. Northern Alberta, the Yukon and Alaska, across Bering strslta and by the northeast coast of Asia to Japan, Manchuria and northern China. "With the Pacific and Atlantic linked by Pan-Amorlcnn in the United Stairs, nnrt Imperial Airways In Britain, those two companies will conjointly control air passage over most of the earth.

LEISURE CENTER LONDON (UP) The first official "leisure center" In Britain Is to be built at Wlgan. Wlgan educational authorities will construct 'It at an estimated coet of 125.000. There will be a central building, where every kind of pro vision for the physical and cultural development of adults and children over school ago will be made. Junior Instruction centers for unemployed boya and glrla up to tho ago of 18 aro to be Included, and as these are statutory, the ministry of labor Is making a grant of 75 per cent. The Carnegie trust Is making a grant of $27,000. The man behind the scheme Is L. R. Mlssen, Wlgan 'a director of educa tion. The Carnegie trust grant was made because of the constructive national value of the experiment. Mlssen be llevcs that if there Is to be any change of outlook toward tho use or leisure It must come from the young er sections of the community. , In addition to the statutory accom modation for the unemployed. Juve niles' rooms will also bo provided for the youths and girls from 18 to 35: "Six hundred persons will be occu pied In thft building all day every day," declares Mlascn. "There will be gymnasiums, shower baths, craft rooms, workshops, and domestic sci ence departments for both women and girls." Wlgan has 10.000 unemployed ndultK.

These news papers are used in China chiefly for wrapping purposes by small merchants. Schilling 'loz.I.T) , I lire YiXf racist F MIDGET TYPE OF SEA VESSEL PARIS fUP) The trtldget or vest pocket cruisers and torpedo boats which have been ao aucceasfully adopted by Germany have started the French wondering whether th Idea could not be applied to underwater craft aa well. Far from building a navy on the same lines of that of 1914, the Ger man) are busily putting together one. that Is radically different, paying greatest stress to speed and flexibil ity. Germany startled the world In 1030 with its vest-pocket cruisers of 10.000 tons. Two arc completed and two others are being constructed. This year Germany again sprung a surprise by introducing the vest pocket torpedo boats, also known aa flying boats or "death boats." They have a displacement of 200 tons and are capable of a speed of 05 miles an hour. Ever since Germany renounced the Versailles treaty and was given an of ficial whitewash by the British ad miralty in connection with its future navy, France has become more deter mined than evor to maintain naval superiority over its traditional enemy Consequently France Is seriously con sidering revising the building pro gram drastically to match the new German unite. Since France la primarily Interested In a navy for defense, it naturally favors the submarine. At present France possesses 66 of them, Includ ing the giant Surcouf, the world's largest submersible craft with a dis placement of 2bB0 tons. The other 65 units Include 35 of 1500 tons and 30 of 600 tons. France's present building program calls for four units at 1500 tone and four of 600 tons. However, It is seri ously considering revising the pro gram to Include a number of units of between 200 and 250 tons to match the German veatpocket type. These submarines would be known as "passo-partoul." which translated means "pass everywhere." As their names Imply, these midget units would be able to go anywhere. They could approach bases and porta of the enomy practically undetected and slip away at fast speed. Due to their size they would be unable to take on much fuel, ammu nition or stock of any kind. Further more their cruising radius would be limited. However, since they would be built primarily to remain close to the Mediterranean and especially the channel coast thoy would not be handicapped as their bases would be close by. Because of this and because France's traditional policy la one of defense, proponents of this type of craft point out that they would meet every requirement, Bach of these units would be cap able of high speed. Each would be equipped with two torpedo tubes and would be excellent for scouting and detective work and could rain havoc on slow, heavy cruisers. Many experts point out that there Is no reason for submarines of the Surcouf type. Despite the 13.000 mile cruising radlua, the 14 torpedo tubes and the seaplane she carries, the Surcouf's sire makes her an easy target for enemy planes or ships, especially the German veatpocket unite, at the maximum speed when not Immersed is only 19 knots. UP. OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 13. ;p Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pa cific railroad, and Fred W. Sargent! president of the Chicago 4c North western tallroad, announced here to day the Union Pacific board of direc tors had approved construction of two streamline trains, each of ten cars, for service between Chlcayo and Den ver.
