LOW SPEED CARGO AIR
VESSELS TO TOW OTHER
AIR CRAFT, is LATEST

CARDIFF. Wales. Sept. 29.-Low-
speed cargo airships fol towing other
aircraft were suggested BY Wing Com
mander I. X. Cave Brovn-Cave in an
address before the engineering section
of the conference Of the British as
sociation for the Advancement Of
Science held here.
When no speed greeter than 81
miles an hour j. required. and when
reasonably favorable weather can be
waited for, even small airsnips can be
used for transport over otherwise inn
possible country, he stated.
1t has been demonstrated that air.
ships with gas capacity ranging
from 10000 to 2.40O. 900 cubic feet
can transport at slow sleed from OTIS
to 4S.1 tons when used as airships
with crew and machinery. and from
l.3 to - tons when used as dumb !"
vessels.
Such an airship service, the COM
mapder said, would be Of inestimable
value in civil engineering such a. the

sible TO land one or two men or even

Our Role I'm EIavfi

Secretary Colby's admission that
he approves the withholding of the
salary of the President of Havti
again puts the Administration in q
somewhat ludicrous position. 1t will
be recalled that FRANKLIN D. Roose-
velt recently made some i'll advised
remarks to the effect that when he
was Assistant Secretary of the
Navy he carried Hayti's League O.:
Nations vote~in his vest pocket. The
State Department expressed annoy
ance over the brag Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Yet the fact is now admitted and
defended that the State Department
refuses to pay the Haytian Presi-
dent his stipend unless he does what
the department tells him to do.
Is Hayti sovereign and indie
pendent nationo To all appearances
it isn't. Yet Mr.. Wilson admitted
it into the league. How does it
happen that the high officials of the
Haytian government cannot draw
salaries without the State Depart-
mert's 0. X? The story is long
one and has been shrouded in
secrecy. The fact is that the Will
son Administration solicitude for
small nations does not extend east of
the sixtieth meridian. 1t sought for
several years to get some sort of
control over Hayti. Its diplomatic
agents drew up agreements for a
partial protectorate which Hayti
failed to accept. Then, in the fall of
1915, United States marines were
landed and an agreement was i'm
posed. This compact was ratified by
the Haytian Legislature under
American pressure.
The military protectorate was
New-York tribune., 1920-09-22

established in order to protect Amer
ican interests. That it will be even
tually of benefit to Hayti may not
be open to question. The action of
the United States was justifiable
under one Interpretation of the Mon
roe Doctrine, an Interpretation, how
ever, which Mr.. Wilson rejected in
the main in his dealings with Mex
leo. But the Administration has
never avowed the real purpose of it's
Haytian or its Dominican policy,
because such an avowal would mani
festly clash with the Presidents
postwar program of self-determi-
nation for small nations.
There is no self-determination to-
day in Hayti. The present Ameri-
can military protectorate will prob
ably last out the life of the Wilson
Administration. Such are the facts.
But the State Departments inter-
probation of them is painfully apollo
getic. Hasn't it courage enough to
be candid?

Where Are the Tenants9

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: was interested as well as very
much entertained by reading the article
by Haywood Broun in this mornings
issue of your newspaper, and as the
owner Of a newly remodeled apartment
house in the Murray Hill section I am
surprised, as is Mr.. Broun, by the alb.
sence Of line of prospective tenants
in front Of my house. The same com.
ment as to the absence of prospective
tenants is made to me by apartment
house owners in various other desirable
residential sections of the city. The
State Of New York is going to great
expense in convening a special session
Of the Legislature to meet the housing
situation, which, according to the daily
press, is said to be acute and distress
ing. In visw of my experience and
that Of others of my acquaintance, am
greatly interested to know where the
urgent call for housing accommodations
is coming. from, and under the circu1.
stances I am unable to see the justif.
cation for an extra session of the Legiss
lature. MURRAY HILL.
