S. military bases on leased British territory in the At- lantle, leaving one major point open for settlement one, two, ar perhaps three years hence. It is reliably reported the United States agreed to permit the British fly two trans-Pacific routes from the United States, one over a ncrtherly route from Seattle to Hong Kong and beyond by way of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, and the other to Australia and New Zealand via Hawail. The unsettled point concerns military control of thfe leased base area, a point on which the United States joint chiefs of staff have been most determined. Lack of accord on this point will not interfere with the operation of any agreement which is finally signed. Instead the settlement will be added to the agreement and be- come effective when accepted.
