Show Fan-American Air Mail Three nations of North America, Canada, the United States and Mexico, are now linked by air mail lines, whereby where-by letters may be sent by plane from Ottawa and Montreal to Mexico City. The route of such mail is stated by General John F. O'Ryan, head of Colonial Col-onial Airways, to be as follows: "a letter let-ter mailed in Ottawa addressed to Mexico Mex-ico City will be flown to Montreal, thence via Albany, Cleveland, Chicago, Dallas and Laredo, where the Mexican line connects." Air mail will be carried from Canada to New York at five cents for the first ounce and ten cents for each additional ounce or fraction; letters from Canada to Mexico City will cost twenty cents for each ounce or fraction. It is said to be probable that air mail service will later be extended to Panama Pana-ma and ultimately to South American countries, thus bringing all the western wes-tern hemisphere into closer contact, a consummation greatly to be desired. |
