Not long ago a svndicate was formed by a group of British firms for the pro- motion of civil flying in the Bermudas, and the new company has now been re- gistered in the United Kingdom, says the l.ondon Times. The Bermudas will find their greatest chanee of develepment when an air route is established from north to south. Such a route is not without promise of very great importance. There is talk now of closer union between the Dominion of Can-<. ada and all the British colonies in the west Atlantic and on the Continents of America. If this project materializes there will ohviously be need for an "'All Red’’ conneciion between Canada anc the West Indies, and such communica- tion can only be by sea or air. Where seods in bulk have to be carried the mat- ter is one tor the shipiing companies, bu! for mutls and express passenger trai- fie the airway has n.any clear advanta- oes. Governnmient dispaiches and tbur- ing « ‘ficials need to be conveyed at speed and they ma#y well torm the nucleus of a substantia! traffic of mwails and tousists. Powerful and seaworthy flying boats will be übie to make the cressing from Nova Seoda to the Bermudas and thence to all the West Indian islands, to British Hor- duras, and to Demerara. s PLANS ALMOST COMPLETED IN TRINIDAD. The next step, therefore, is to establish flving stations at suitable peints in the West Indies, and the new company is now prepared to proceed with this mat- ter. Plans are almost completed for mak- ing a start at Trinidad, the most impor- tant British island in the socuth of the _group, and one within easy flving range CHEIFTs\ ' L BsF.

One other prospeet deserves notice. It seems not improbablie that in the near future an air route may bhe established between Portugal and Brazil via West Africa.
