AIR TRAVEL FARES CUT FOR OLYMPICS

Tokyo, Jan. 11 Skyroads to the 1940 Tokyo Olympic Games were opened wide to-day by the Manchu Air Transport Company.

A reduction in fares of thirty per cent. during the games and for a month before and after them was decided upon by the company for the benefit of foreign officials, athletes and their families.

The action was taken as a result of the efforts of the Olympic Organizing Committee, which has been negotiating with various transportation companies for lowered Tates.—Domei,
