GREAT CONTEST
OF AIRPLANES.
Race Between America and Great
Britain to Be First to Fly
Across the Pacific
Ocean.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. |
NEW YORK, March 10.-The race
between America and Great Britain
to be the first to fly across the Pa
cific will be the greatest air race in
history, according to navy aviation
officers attending the second ma.
tional aeronautical exposition here
It. will surpass even the trans,Atlan.
tic race, they said, and will take
place within the coming year
While Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels has made qualified ieria. of
the statement that the United States
was preparing to build two planes,
each larger than the NC-4, which
made the transatlantic hop. For the
purpose of bridging the Pacific By
air, naval aviation officials maintain
that this is the ultimate object for
which the giant airships are being
constructed.
Air Commodore L., z. o. Charlton,
air attache of the British embassy,
said in admitting that Great Britain
was planning to fly across the Pacific.
81 have requested the British air
to make an official announce
ment of England's plan to race the
United States navy across the Pacif-
ic l am waiting for the American
navy department to make known it's
official plans for this flight, then
hope to announce Britain's plans. This
will be the vreatest race of ALL" ....
Plans have been drawn for Ameri-
cas- planes if actual construction has
not been started, it is said.
According to Lieut.. Commander P.
N. L. Bellinger, commander of the N.
c. /, which fell near the Azores, the
giant planes for the Pacific flight will
be nine motored ships OF about 14O
foot wing span. They probably will
be tripuanes, he said. with the under
wing shorter than the upper two.
1--WE, who took part in the Atlantic
flight. want to fly the Pacific, but I
do not know personally what plans the
navy has made in this respect" he
said ..

Question on Which Presidential

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Tho
senate today took up article ten.
The question on which the coming
presidential campaign may turn, and
upon which ratification Of the treaty
hinges, is now before the senators.
No senator dared predict whether
the difference separating the two
parties will be reconciled and some
form Of compromise reservation On
this article adopted.
But the belief is general that il a
so-called compromise is agreed to, it
will mark a surrender by one side or
the other Of principles which both
have repeatedly declared to be vital
and never to be surrendered.
The question today is just what 1t
was last November. 1t Is simply:
Shall the United States assume an
obligation to help protect other "a.
tions against predatory warfare, or
shall it refuse that obligation?
A score of democratic senators
met today in Senator Owens office
in an effort to agree on some reser-
vation to article ten. At the same
time republican mild reservationists
were exerting themselves trying to
get an agreement. But when the
senate met none Of these efforts had
succeeded. 1t was stated at that
time that twenty-eight democrats had
tentatively agreed to accept some
modification of the Lodge reservation
on article ten, but were not pledged
to any particular draft.
Senator Lenroot, mild reservation
ist, was prepared to offer compro-
mise to the senate, and there was a
bare possibility that the whole ques-
ion would come to some sort Of de-
cision before the day ended.

LONDON, March 10.-Political OBJ
servers here today considered it sig
nificant that the declaration on eco
nomic conditions in the world, as
drawn up by the council of premiers
and made public here last night,
makes no specific recommendations re-
garding Russia and mentions the SOW
let nation only by pointing out that it
has armies of more than 100000 men
in the field, rehabilitation of which
is a primary condition for European
peace.
It had been believed that the note
would treat Russia in considerable de-
tail, amplifying the council earlier
Recommendations for resumption OF

The manifesto covers the present
world commercial situation compre-
hensively- especially as to conditions
in Europe 1t does not, however, pro
vide for any general pooling and re-
distribution of food stuffs and supplies
of raw materials of the different ma
tions.
The suggestion that Germany be al
lowed to borrow abroad does not men
ton any exact plan by which this mea-
sure might be carried out.
The council agrees there are no
short cuts to Europe's economic re-
Mobilization and to reduction of prices.
1t believes, however, that general de-
mobilization, particularly in eastern
Europe and Russia will be vital first
step toward this end, and recommends
that: ..... ...a .aa
Ahmies everywhere be reduced to
a peace footing and armaments every
where be limited to point as low

and steps taken to obtain deflation of

tai expenditures. .r
Taxes be increased where necessary
and provisions made to obtain com
mercial credits despite the exchange
situation.
Removal Of trade obstacles, making
easy the exchange of essential commo-
dities, it. believes, is one step to this
end.
Devasted regions be restored
through loans, in anticipation of Ger
many's reparations payments. An
