Continutd from Vage I
and one, Northeast Airlines , is run-
ning flights directly from Newark
to Hyannis. Naturally, air service
would be expanded to meet what-
ever needs the United Nations may
have.
"The highway system on the
Cape is exceptionally good , and the
Interstate and transcontinental con-
nections are adequate. These also
can be extended indefinitely to cov-
or all needs, local , state and na-
tional.
"Harbor facilities for ocoan-going
vessels can be set up easily at
minimum cost. Thus, Cupe Cod has
the advantage of being separled
from Industrial , commercial and
financial activities , and yet so near
the heart and center of everything
as to be easily and quickly reached.
"Finally, the climate here is ideal
both in Summer and Winter. We
extend all these advantages to the
United Nations , in addition to the
wholehearted welcome of our peo-
ple."
