A6 *¥¥ AIR SERVICE GIVES 1. 5. TRADE EDGE Plane Use for Mail and Goods Aids Commerce With Latins. Epecial Dispatch to The St NEW YORK, July 6-—Commercial aviation is giving the business man of | the United States a time advantage in | the highly competitive South American markets formerly enjoved by France and Great Britain, a survey com- | leted by the Merchants' Association of | ew York indicates. As in_war, the force arriving on the scene first gains an advantage in business, and airmail and passenger transport service is held responsible by some firms for their abil- ity to hold Latin American trade in ter- ritory which otherwiss would be con- trolled by foreign hous “In the old steamer davs" the Mer- chants’ Association reports, “it took 19 { days to reach Buenos Aires from New York as against 16 days from London and 15 from Paris. Today it takes cight days for transmission of mails between New York and Buenos Aires. and a passenger may reach the South Ameri- can city from New York in nine days. Europeon Time Longer. “The Merchants’ Association is in- formed that the best time for passen- ger service from London to Buenos Alres is 14 days, and that the airmail time is nine davs. In the northern part of South America and at many Points on the west coast. New York has an_even greater advantage.” Of 200 concerns questioned by the | Merchants’ Association. nearly all re- plied that they made use of airmail at| TOKIO. times, and almost half of them use it regularly. Ten firms send agents by air regularly and 80 others use the airplane when conditions warrant. Some of the exporters said that except for the time advantage afforded by the airplane a large share of their business would go to European competitors. Fifty-eight concerns expressed the opinion that more frequent service would be ad- visable. Relations Closer. The replies indicate that the busi- ness firms and banking houses trading in South America benefit by their ability to maintain closer relations with agents 5. distributors and so as to offer ice to customers. The airmail is used. in addition to the transmission of routine mail, for gending shipping Gocuments, price quo- tations, samples of merchandise. letters of credit, catalogues and advertising material, power of attorney and bonds and drafts In the case of financial documents it is said that the time-saving effects a tangible economy in interest charges The forwarding of shipping documents by airmail allows the consignee to make arrangements for the receipt of goods before they arrive, thus avoid- ing unnecessary customs charges and penalties and storage costs. Many firms find also that the speed of air- mail allows them to reduce cable mes- sages, thus saving wire tolls. Airline Use Tncreases. Evidence of the increasing Latin- American airline business is contained in the quarterly traffic report of Pen- American Airways System. During the three months ending March 1 the com- pany carried 12,820 passengers. 8n in- crease of 2.530 over the same period in 1930, on its system of airways to the West Indies, Central and South America. This is believed to be a world record for international aerial travel. More than 48 tons of mail was carried during the first quarter of the year, as well as 52 tons of express and baggage. The line established a record of 100 per cent regularity for the three months, every flight having been completed on or ahead of schedule. Pan-American Airways now is the largest air transport unit in the world, its lines having spread out farther than Imperial Airwavs of Great Britain Aeropostale of France, cr the Deutsche Luft Hansa of Germanv. all three of which were active in the foreign field | for some time before the United States | entered it 3,384,729 Miles Flown.

At Chemulpo, near Seoul, rioters at- tacked the police stations. A mob of | 2,000 Koreans coursed through the streets, attacking Chinese homes and business places. Reserves had to be called to subdue the rioters.
