WHAT THE GOVERNMENT Is DOING

A new function is soon to be under
taken by the United States coast guard
for the saving and
Coast Guard preservation Of life in
aA the form Of aviation.
0v1at1oA. for which authority has
already been granted by Congress and
an appropriation for which Congress
is being asked in the naval appropria-
tion bill now pending.
It is quite naturally the idea Of
officials that in the saving Of human
life and property from the elements.
which is one OF the principal functions
Of the coast guard, advantage should
be taken of all new Inventions and
methods. Officials of the guard are
of the opinion that aviation has
advanced to such a stage that aircraft
as now constructed and developed can
be used advantageously in the activt-
ties of the coast guard.
1t has been pointed out by those who

ours too far from the shore to be
reached with the line-throwing gun.
and the state Of the sea makes 1t i'm
believed possible to carry a line to
the wreck by means Of an aeroplane.
and thereby effect the rescue Of per-
sons who might otherwise perish. The
first reported is of such vital i'm
portance that their ultimate recovery
and removal from the paths Of COM
merce Outlines depends entirely upon
the rapidity with which they are def
nttely located, the experts say. The
value of aeroplanes in this connection
has passed beyond the realm of specu-
lation. and there is now no doubt that
the of aircraft will greatly facii-
tate. this important work of the coast
say.
Anticipating that the coast guard
must adopt this new method of life saw
ing soon practicable three Ju-
to undergo training at naval aviation
and private schools. in order to form
the nucleus Of a force trained for avia-
tion purposes. Aside from the humanf-
tartan possibilities of this proposition,
the fact must not be overlooked that
coast guard will be valuable addition
to naval aviation equipment in time Of
war.
In addition to it's many other duties
the coast guard has been called upon,
during the past year, to assign several
of the cutters, on various occasions, to
enforce the neutrality laws Of the coun-
try. This resulted in the withdrawal
Of the vessels SO assigned from their
regular tasks at such times, because. in
order to enforce neutrality laws effec
lively, the service had to be continuous
Owing to the limited number of cruis-
ing cutters. and the fact that no re-
lief vessels are available, it became
necessary to discontinue certain of the
regular duties of the cutters when their
services were required in the enforce
ment of laws which demand their undi
yided attention.
