WASHINGTON-The United States today emerged victorious in an international race to establish trans-Atlantic plane service when Great Britain gave Pan-American Airways permission to inaugurate service in advance of British Imperial Airways.
The concession was announced by the State Department which said that Britain, by inference, had granted permission for American airliners to land in England, a right which had been denied heretofore because the United States refuses to allow British around-the-world planes to land at Hawaii.
