The Future Of Flying

With the worlds first great aero
nautical exposition under way in Madi-
son Square Garden, it is curious fact
that the chief concern Of the men who
are closest to the flying game is that the
advancement Of flying be not too rapid.
What flying men fear is popular en-
thuslasm that will induce the inaugural
ton of enterprises that are ahead of
their day A cautious, steady and safe
growth, particularly the latter, is what
the aeronautical industry desires.
The romantic notion of "roaming at
Will through the painless air" has seized
many persons; whereas, flying men know
that the air is not "pathess," and that
II there is too much roaming at will
above the earth there are going to be
disasters that will do undeserved injury
to one Of the great industries of the
future The industry of flying can
make no great advancement until ade-
quate steps are taken to safeguard it.
A railroad train cannot run without p
track and stations and sidings, and there
can be no air service until there are
frequent landing fields, meteorological
maps and signals for day and night
flying.
Lord Weir, until recently head of
the Royal Air Force of England, said
that the success of the operational side
of air transport depends upon the deve
opment Of navigational instruction bv
geally sound and severe navigational
training, the creation of an energetic
meteorological service specially de-
signed to help air transport, the adop
ton OF improved systems of wireless
telegraphy and telephony and the adop-
ton of first-class system of dav and
night marking of landing places and
aerodromes.
IF these measures are taken" saws
Lord Weir, 81 am quite clear that five
years hence there will be no more
difficulty in navigating an airplane
over long course in foggy or other
wise bad weather than there is now in
navigating a ship at sea-
The fear back of the wish of the
lying industry to make haste slowly
IS expressed by David Beecroft in nm
article in "Automotive Industries":
"rhc opinion is very generally shared
by all in Great Britain France and Italv
that the worst that possibly could happen
would be starting a passenger service
from London to Paris and endcavorinp
70 maintain q schedule Such a service
ia to-day impossible except for purely
military uses; but II the laws OF inter
national flying. which will be approved.
so far as the Allies are concerned. at the
peace conference, permitted such, 1t would
be equivalent To suicide for the future of
the industry TO attempt such at once.
Ono serious accident, such as u crash of
large plane with twenty or forty pas
sengers aboard, would almost certainly
result In the death of most of the party
and would set back passenger aviation

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
CIR: The President is very much mistaken
~ if he believes that the American people
is not vitality interested in and strongly in
favor of practical and foolproof measures
to preserve the peace of the world.
To those of US who have had the privilege
OF serving our country on French and Ger
man soil during the war the question is one
of absorbing interest. AS one of those men
I believe that am expressing the opinion
OF the vast majority when ! say that l am
opposed to the league of nations in it's
present form, because it is a creature with
out spine.
1t is both futile and fatuous to consider
a league of nations based upon any other
foundation than that of force. A guarantee
that the United States, England, France,
Italy and Japan have pledged themselves to
a system of universal military training and
service, a minimum standing army and
navies' commensurate with their individual
needs is the only foundation on which such
a league can be discussed. And the guar
antee of good faith, outwe ighing all others
in Importance in such discussion, is the
national pledge to universal military ser
vice.
If the Preside truthfully invites the
sentiment of the nation upon this question:
as l have never known hm to do before let
me answer for one that l am heartily tired
of his time-worn plea for humanity Doubt
lessly | would be classed by the President
among those marrow selfish and pro-
vincial enough to think at the present
moment only of America But [ am con-
vinced that what will further the develop
ment of America in the handling of her re-
sponsbilities will influence greatly the fut-
ure peace of the world. | want to be as
sured that our country will never again be
caught in the pitiful condition of unpre-
paredness, was the case in April, 1917
] want to feel that our national conscience
has been so stirred during the nightmare
years that have just passed that we will
make America safe for all time, and in so
doing will insure the peace Of the Western
Hemisphere and qualify ourselves as
champion of world peace
During the period that has passed since
the Presidential party went to Paris the
government censored news which has
reached this country has dealt overwhem-
ingy with one subject-the league of ma

The Congress Deadlock

1t is fantastic to consider the jam of
legislation at the close of short ses-
sion Of Congress as the deliberate work
OF any party or any group of legisla
tors. This jam results from natural
causes 1t is mechanical, not the prod
uct of artifice. In the broad sense all
filibusters at the end Of the short ses-
sion are self-conducted. They are q nor
NAL outgrowth of conditions which have
existed for years and which there has
been no serious effort to change.
The short session is too short. 1t has
been so ever since the burden of pre-
parlng and passing appropriation meas
ures began to be hobble on Congress.
If we had rational budget system and
responsibility for Federal expenditures
were thrown on the Executive Depart
ment, where it belongs, there would be
no crushes of the sort which develop in
the last days of each short session.
Everybody knows that the short ses-
sion must end on March a. But there is
airy. Congress always takes Christmas
recess. The lack of any centralized
control over the annual estimates forces
the Appropriation Committees to exam
Inc them critically and to revise them
in every detail. Even though this labor
is skimped, it must consume nearly the
entire session.
AS Congress approaches its end
there is a struggle among the money
bills for survival. In this struggle other
legislation is sidetracked, and the SEN
ate's parliamentary rules are so lax that
legislation in the final hours becomes
practically matter Of unanimous con-
sent. No Senator or group of Senators
opposed to the passage of bill can be
expected not to make use of a veto
which the Senate code itself sanctions
The tilibuster is not a freaksh abuse
of privilege. 1t is a weapon which the
Senate itself has forged to facilitate
obstruction. And most Senators are
loath to destroy it, because each is aware
that there may come a time when he
will want to use it himself.
The Presidents absence in Europe
iie'9 eiSSo etFe'tCti lIlc pIcSCUL Jam. Inc
leaders in Congress have not co0perated
energetically with the heads of the de-
partments in framing and pushing either
money bills or peace reorganization
measures. Responsibility for legisla-
tive congestion is general, and this ses-
sion specially with the President. What
we are now witnessing in WASHINGTON
is an inevitable breakdown of the gov
ernmental machinery. Filbustering is
only surface symptom The real trou-
BILE goes deeper 1t cannot be cured so
long as we lack real budget system
and Congresses continue to ignore the
fact that the governments business has
outrun the limitations Of session be-
ginning the first Monday Of December
and ending on the Fourth of March.
New-York tribune., 1919-03-03
From Nowhere to Nowhere

The AllRussian parley is off. That
will grieve nobody very much. All that
the world loses is the fading out from
the cable dispatches of that mellihuous
find of the peace conference-Prinkipo
almost as blessed an appellation as Meso
potamia
For weeks the Russian policy of the
peace conference led nowhere Then sud-
denly it headed toward the deserted
Turkish watering place in the eastern
reaches Of the Sea of Marmora. Now it
is headed nowhere again. A pacific Rus
sian settlement must be sought at the
foot of some other rainbow.
Lenine and Trotzky made a clever use
of the overture from Paris for a COM
promise of Russian differences. Up to
that moment the Allies had treated the
Soviet government as an international
outcast. They had severed relations with
it and asked the neutras to boycott it
because it was beyond the pale of civilza-
ton. The invitation to send delegates to
Prinkipo lifted the ban and raised the
Lenlne dictatorship to diplomatic level
with the regional Russian governments
which had enjoyed the friendly backing
of the Allies.
This unexpected recognition strength
cned the Reds and correspondingly de-
pressed the other factions, which nave
always stood for return to the ORIGINAL
aims Of the Revolution But the Reds
were not really anxious enough for a
parley to pay a reasonable price for it.
They declined to suspend hostilities.
They continued to make war against the
other factions Even after the invitation
to Prinkipo was received they began
vigorous winter offensive against the
British, American, Italian and Serbian
forces in the Archangel district.
Lenine and Trotzky employ the Ian
guage of civilized international inter
course when it suits their purposes to
do So But they don't think as thew
talk. Their conception Of international
relations is absolutely opposed to that Of
the powers represented in Paris Thew
do not accept our standards. Their
pollcy IL one OF war to the knife on all
forms of government which differ from
their own.
The Soviet state is an Ishmael among
nations. Its hand is against every other
mans hand. How can such a state be
dealt with on basis OF reason? The
only argument it recognizes is the ar
gumcnt Of force.

Food for the Light-Mindcd

10 the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir The Presidents speech IN Boston
was remarkably clever piece of work to
induce the hght-mindcd that all who do
not indorsc the covenant which he read
before leaving Paris would oppose any kind
OF agreement seeking its purposes. But it
is one Of the enigmas of MIR. Wilson's char
acter that he can believe the American pco-
Pile are more anxious to secure the world
against war than TO assure the righteous
settlement of controversies. And this after
he had led an eager and willing army three
thousand miles from home to fight for what
it believed to be right
War is sometimes to defend rirht and
sometimes TO overthrow right Against the
latter all rightminded peoples will COM
bine. But against the former combna-
ton would be iniquitous Nevertheless. we
will eagerly accept any reasonable scheme
for securing our rights without having to
resort to war and indorse il with pledges
not to employ war.
But the covenant is not such reason
able scheme. The combined strength Of
nations which the covenant seeks to pro-
cure is not placed in control Of ar nde-
pendent, impartial judiciary. Quite the
contrary. the combined strength Of the
lions is placed in the hands of political
outfit, the body of delegates, every dele
gate inspired ard controlled by his own
government, subject to instant recall and
available for every kind of dicker which
time and trouble may suggest.
The right TO resort to arms is not likely
10 be surrendered until league is estab-
llshed whose strength is at the disposal Of
an impartial Judiciary and whose consttu-
ton contains bill of rights which the ju-
dlclary are sworn to uphold.

enough if directed at either Germany or
Austria before the signing of the armistice.
