WEST LEADS IN
 AVIATION AS A
 MONEY FARMER

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Commercial aviation in the United States shows healthy, steadily growing populari- ty, says the Manufacturers Aircraft Association in making public here to- day the report of representatives who have just completed a tour of the country which included inspec- tion flights over most of the territory now served by aerial transport.
 The airplane is undergoing the other vehicles of transportation in- troduced to the public, the various sections Of the country according it receptions in conformance with their individual topography, customs and natural resources" the report said.
 ''The southwest and Pacific coast are leading in the adoption of air craft to commercial use and plans In preparation contemplate honeycomb- ing that area with network of aeri- al transportation lines. In the Slid dle West the airplane is being adopt ed as the occasion demands, and it is meeting with encourag ging success, the severe competition of good rail- roads and highways, lack of landing fields and the considerable indit fer ence of the Middle Atlantic States, New England is accepting it with customary conservatism; the south is using it mainly for private pur- poses and Florida and the West Iu- dies have come to recognize flying as most important method of com- munication.
 At present there are in the Unit ed States 15 manufacturers of air craft and aircraft motors and 50 manufacturers of accessories. Dur. ing the past few months 20 new air plane distributing agencies have been established throughout the country and new aerial transport operating companies have been formed in New York City.
