Senate Increases Air Mail Funds For Transpacific Route
Under Senator McAdoo California leadership the senate amended the post office appropriation bill to raise foreign air mail service funding from seven to nine million dollars. The move would empower the postmaster general to contract with a company to transport mails across the Pacific via Honolulu, Guam, and Manila toward China. The measure follows Pan American Airways experimental flights and aligns with federal aviation commission urged aid for first class services to boost American commerce and prestige. The administration argues the Pacific route would become a landmark in federal transport policy if the house agrees.
