OTTAWA, Ont. (UP) Experi

lantic, ovrr a course being consid
ered Jointly by Canada, Britain and
the UnltPd Stntoa for establishment
of a rrular trans-Atlantic air r
vicn, will begin In 1036. 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

Amerlrn Assured Part.
There Is no dnnfter of the United
States bring excluded from the pic
ture. Pnn-Amerlcnn Airways was al
lowed to pnrtlclpnte in the first con
ference held In. 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. Who is to carry
on our 3000-nitle trans-Canadian
service hns not yet been decided."

LEISURE CENTER
LONDON (UP) The first official

built at Wlgan.
Wlgan educational authorities will

building, where every kind of pro
vision for the physical and cultural
development of adults and children
over school ago will be made. Junior

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

niles' rooms will also bo provided for
the youths and girls from 18 to 35:
"Six hundred persons will be occu

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.

OMAHA. Neb., Dec. 13. ;p Carl
R. Gray, president of the Union Pa

president of the Chicago 4c North
