Berlin May be Favoured By Nationalist Spain Berlin, Jan. 29.
The development of Germany's commercial air services was the subject of an article in the "West-deutscher Beobachter" today.
It was remarked with satisfaction that Lufthansa lines have been extended, on trial to the Far East and to America.
The regular upkeep of a Berlin-Tokyo line, via Central Asia, is now only a matter of time. It is the China conflict that prevents the extension to Tokyo of the Lufthansa Asiatic route already functioning, it was stated.
The writer stressed also "the understanding of the Spanish State with regard to German aeronautic interests," pointing to General Franco's recent refusal to permit British and Netherlands aviation companies to establish routes over Spanish territory to South America.—Havas.
