fighters in the war interlocked wings

airmen shun treetops; also mountain

LONDON, Dec. 20


THE extradition Of the Kaiser
from Holland cannot be de-
manded by the Allies within
the rights of international law. Such
was the gist OF a statement made by
Lord Robert Cecil to THE Sun a day
or so before his resignation as British
Minister of Blockade.
Speaking az a lawyer rather than
as Minister OF tie Crown" Lord
Robert continued, Il would say that
as the Kaiser entered Holland az an
unarmed German civilian the Allies
can only ask the Dutch Government
for his eXtradition as an act of cour-
tesy."
For many years before entering the
political field Lord Robert Cecil prac-
t!sed as a lawyer, and his belief is
shared strongly by British legal AMI
political circles alike.
1t is very easy to urge the eX-
kaiscr's eXtraditiun as the prime

That would be a revenue of $4,000.
But the cost of the machine and
pilots? The little machines require
only one pilot. the big ones two.
Pilots can be hired for from 500 to
5000 month. especially IL they are
permitted t" retain their present mill
tary or naval status. The gasolene
will run at not more than thirty-two
gallons an hour, at not less than
twelve gallons per engine per hour.
OF the machines cost, We have only
war figures now. with wages and me-
terial at war levels; but after the
war. men like Curtiss and Wright be-
lieve the machines with, military
equipment now running from $500
TO $4,000 can be produced for in
dustrial purposes at from 500 to
$4,000. Now, I don't know of many
locomotives and trains or steamships
that can cover all the way from one
third their cost to all their cost in the
revenue of one trip. That Is, | don't
know of methods Of transportation
that can do so when freights are not

After those figures, don't know
how the practica: man feels. but l do
know the airplane manufacturers are
thankful to heaven the war is over
so that they can put the airplanc on
as sound a commercial basis as any
other industry.
This does not mean the airplane
manufacturers have been making
huge profits. or will come out ahead
il some of the bills against the war
are left unhonored. as some have been
left unpaid for moro than a year.
With wages and raw material easily
800 per cent. above normal in cost,
and with speed the all essential thing
ignoring costs, and with as many as
700 changes in one engine ordered
for war and as many 500 Govern
ment inspectors on the payroll in one
plant. the airplane manufacturers had
their own troubles in financing the
war.
On . Better Basis Now.
But now that the war Is over and
they can cut out high war costs and
war charges and war speed and super
numeraries on the pay roll. their po-
sition is infinitely better than during
the war, when no manufacturer knew
from one day to the next whether a
change suddenly ordered would not
scrap six months work and leave Il
bill of costs unhonored. Just here
the manufacturers could little tale
unfold; bu; it is under the ban of
the censorship.
