A plan for the establishment of numerous new air lines in the United States with the combined technical skill of Germany and American capital was brought back to Berlin recently by Herr Schuette of the Schuette-Lanz dirigible works, one of the most extensive concerns of the Germans during the war.
Herr Schuette declares that plans are practically perfected for the opening of a line from New York to Chicago with a craft of German design having capacities of from 110,000 to 150,000 cubic meters. Working out of such craft in Germany was forbidden after the war by the treaty. Hence the proposal to build and operate them in America would result both in the development of American air lines, which is much desired there, and at the same time preserve German interest in continuing the development of air.
