would have more frequent flights to Chengtu and
Kweilin and possibly other centers "in free
China. He is also looking into the future when,
as Japanese forces are pushed eastward from
Central China, it will be necessary to establish
air transport to newly recovered centers.
We believe that Bond's request is deserving
of early and favorable action. There is no doubt
that present passenger transport facilities are
most inadequate to serve the essential needs in
China; furthermore an extension of air transport
service would go far towards fostering a greater
degree of political unity in the country. A
service to Tihua, for instance, would no doubt
contribute materially towards the Generalissimo's
plan to draw Sinkians, and the Northwest as a vhole,
closer to the Central authority. If it is not
practicable to supply the five planes which Bond
to ARCHIVES "NATIONAL SERVICE" RECORDS AND
is requesting we urge that favorable consideration
be given to supplying CNAC with an additional
minimum three planes absolutely essential to meet
present needs.
