HUGE LOSS IN U. s.
AERO SALES PLANS
Dumping Of Material Will
Create Chaos in Market
Warns L. Ottinger.

A fixed policy on the part of the Gov.
eminent In the disposal of material ac-
CURED for aircraft development was de-
manded yesterday by Lawrence Ottinger
formerly assistant chief Of plywood in
spection with the Bureau Of Aircraft
Production.
The Government has on hand be-
tween 100000 and so, 900, 900 feet Of
veneers, between 100000 and 10000
600 feet OF waterproof plywood (glued
up veneers) and a huge quantity Of
spruce" said he. "A suggestion has
been made by the manufacturers that
the Government appoirS a committee to
reinspect for commercial purposes and
sell the material gradually in conjunc-
ton with the manufacturers The latter
figured II would take about three years
to dispose Of the stock gradually at good
prices. 4 Government official. however
stated that all Of It would have to be
disposed of within six months and that
it would be offered to the highest bidder.
Means Huge Loss to L. g.
III such a course is pursued the Gov
eminent will receive between and 8
cents foot for the plywood, which cost
an average of 20 cents. The spruce cost
the Government at its cutup plant
S642S2 a thousand feet. The pre-war
price Of commercial spruce lumber was
$40 a thousand feet. Some of this lum-
Der already has been sold for s45
thousand by some of the disposal Sec
tons.
THE principle involved in the dis
.
my mind, not only important as 1t is
affecting the aircraft industry and the
amount OF money the Government will
receive but It affects almost every line
of commerce. and the Government seems
to have no definite policy. The hard
woods have been placed in the hands of
o committee for disposal, the committee
receiving a commission OF IL per cent.
for its work. Evidently this Is not a
fixed, policy. but the various officials
seem to adopt such plans as they think
best
Urges Holding Corporation.
at is my belief that the Government
should fix a policy for the disposal OF
this merchandise and that It should have
as its prime object the disposal OF the
material so as to disturb trade as little
as possible. A holding corporation for
its other merchandise could be formed.
1t will need no appropriation If intelli-
gently handled and the merchandise is
disposed of gradually.
AS the reconstruction period develops
and trade assumes a more normal as
pect the Government will receive reason
able prices for its merchandise and will
remove the fear which is in the hearts
OF many business men because Of It's
or the market regardless of price and
results"

MEXICO ONCE MORE.

Mexico still remains menace
to us as well as to herself, pro-
blem in instability and frequen'
revolution which she apparently
cannot and we may not solve.
Like the troubled sea, she is rare
ly at rest, and is generally cast.
ing up the mire and dirt of law
less outbreaks, great or small.
Carranza, for considerable per-
iod, appeared to have mastered
the professional disturbers. and
his recent capture and execution
of the Zapata chieftains, who
had so long defed authority,
seemed to promise something
like national pacification. But
Villas temperance on the bord-
er in the familiar revolutionary
role revives once more the dis
turbing conditions with which
we had to deal three years ago.
Possibly the attack on Juarez
was deliberately designed to
tempt us into an act of interven-
tion. Villa tried this once before
and succeeded in mobilizing
American forces on the border
and in forcing us to send a puni-
tive expedition into Mexican ter
ritory. Juarez was probably
not so much his objective as e.
Paso. A few shots in that direc-
ton, he knew. might stir up an
American hornets nest.
This latest Mexican incident is
not SO important in itself as in
the evidence it affords of the con-
tinuance of Mexico's unsatistfact-
ory status, unsatisfactory to US
as well to her. 1t may be, it is
true, that interested propaganda
from this side of the line is large
ly instrumental in fomenting
these border disturbances. But
they could not be fomented in a
country which was wisely, fairly
and firmly governed, and in
which revolution was not always
in fashion. So far as financial
agltators are conce erned, we
should make it our duty to sup
press them. They are as bad in
their way as Villa. But even if
we succeed in repressing their
their baneful activities, a very
serious part of the Mexian prob
lem remains, and will remain un-
til Mexico graduates into the class
OF stable and orderly countries.
In the meantime we must protect
our citizens and our towns on the
border from the consequences
OF these revolutionary melees, as
we have done in this case.
What further we shall do or
not do will depend on develop
ments Baltimore Sun.
