FORESEES ARCTIC AS WORLD TRADE ROUTE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (U, P.).— Col. Edgar S.. Gorrell, president of
‘the Air Transport association of
America, predicted today that the Arctic ocean will become the “chilly Mediterraneaus” of future air transportation which will revise completely the great routes of the world. Appearing before the house interstate commerce committee on ents ‘to the civil aeronautics lact, Mr. Gorrell said air travel of the future will follow shorter north-south routes instead of tradftional eadt-west travel. As an example, he said that if Japan should attempt to bomb the Panama canal, she, would not send planes across the Pacific. Taking a shorter route, the bombers would follow the line of the Aleutian islands, Denver, and Yucatan, actually approaching Panama from the Atlantic side, Gorrell declared. This new concept means that the Arctic region will have “a vital place in our future’ national defense,” he said. 4
