A. A. installations have proved most efficient until now. yet it Is inevitable that with the constantly expanding Pacific operations the present facilities will prove insufficient to cope with the burden which Is growing rapidly day by day. The services of these stations will be even more vital in the postwar period for the civil air transportation to Asiatic and Australian points. The traffic in the United States alone is 86 percent military and on the air lines at least fourfifths of the traffic is either military or Government or on Government business. It is absurd to think we do not need these items and need them now.
