WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.—A belief
that air transportation can be es-
tablished under suitable conditions
in the United States as an import-
ant. additional channel at commerce
was expressed today in a. report to
the War Department by Lieutenant
John P. Van Zandt of the army air
service after a firsthand investiga-
tion in Europe.
In the course of his visit. which
was undertaken in the interest or
the American government. Lieuten-
ent Van Zandt travelled more than
6.600 miles by air met the Euro»
pean continent and gathered from
many sources rctailed information
on the subject or commercial avia-
tion .
The report pictured the old world
as miss cross-ed with regulaxly es-
tablished air routes, over which this
year 50.000‘ passengers have been
transported 4.800.000 miles on jour-
neys covering points from Finland
to Ahica. and from England to the
Bosphorus. ‘
Comparing conditions for com-
mercial aviation in Europe and the
United Stateswmeutenwt Van Zandt
pointed out that the nations across
the Atlantic are faced with funda—
mental political difficulties in de-
veloping air’lines. Commercial avi-
‘ation‘there nearly always involves
flights over several countries. The
United States, on the other' hand, is
probably better suited politically to
the establishment. of self-supporting
air lines than any other country in
the world. by reason of its geogra-
phical extent. Ireedon: from custom
restrictions, common national inter-
ests .and homogeneous business
methods.
Records of European commercial
air services indicate the report con.
tinued., that financial matter. mer-

-nI Europe. Lieutenant Van Zandt
found that governments show great
interest in commercial aeronautics
and contribute liberally to its sup-
port. The British government has
created an air monopoly and voted a
subsidy of $5,000,000 covering op-
eration tor the next ten years. In
Holland an advance without inter-
eet amounting to $500,000 has been
made, while France this year voted
a subsidy to 41,422,000 trance !or its
trance tor its commercxai services.
In addition. considerable indirect
government support is odor“! to

tested by graduel reductions in the
