Government Help Asked

Express Official Tells Automo.
tive Engineers Commercial
Aviation Is Needed

AT dinner given by the Society Of
Automotive Engineers at the Astor last
night, r. f. NJ. Cowi4, vice-president of
the American Railway Express Com
pany, urged the adoption of an aggres-
sive policy by the government in the
development of commercial aviation,
which he declared to be worthy of as
much support as navigation.
Mr.. Cowie said commercial aviation
would, in case of another war. prove to
be as great an aid as the motor indus
try had proved recently.
II regard as very unfortunate the
lethargic attitude of the government
toward this subject" said Mr. Cowe.
Nv hile l do not wish to go on record
regarding a separate air service. yet
as transportation man of experience
wish to emphasize the necessity for
the immediate encouragement of com
me~cial aviation.'
George E. Roberts, vice-pres of
the a,ional City Bank of New York
spoke on the industrial situation and
dwelt on the possibility of engineering
skill reducing the cost of all manufac-
tured articles and assisting in restor-
ing the needed business balance.
Other speakers were j. G.. Vincent
the retiring president, vice-president of
the Packard Automobile Company; Da-
vid Beacroft, the incoming president,
editor Of The Automotive Industry, anc
c. F. Kettering, of the research depart
ment Of the General Motors Company.

Harding Rejoices Over
Founding of Town Hall
Telegram of Congratulation In
dorses Work to Aid i'm Gov
ernment by CO.operatiOn

Abram I. Elkus, who presided last
night at the second meeting of the
opening week Of the Town Hall. 113 West
sorty-third Street, read the following
telegram from President-elect HARDING:
"Congratulations to the citizens of
New York upon the establishment Of
The Town Hall as great civic center
.or the cultivation of civic virtues,
the development Of sound thinking on
pubic questions and cooperation with
your government in city, state and ma
tion tor the promotion of social WEI
fare. 1t is particularly fitting that the
crown of the edifice, which results from
twenty-five years work of such organ
izations as the League for Political Ed
ucaton, the Economic Club and the
Civic Forum, should be the Town Hall
Club, composed Of men and women with
out regard to creed or politics and rep
1eseniing every section of our great Re-
public and its national life as expressed
IN art, letters, science, civics and pl1i-
lanthropy.
Il hope to see better coordinated the
social welfare activities Of our national
government and look forward with
great hopes to the service which pri-
vate agencies such as your Town Hall
group of organizations may render
IN cooperation with the government
through the development of self
reliant spirit and an intelligent pub
lie opinion which does not look to
the government to do everything, but
which shall enable governments to do
their part more effectively because
courageous, plain and straight think
ing men and women are doing their
civic duty in New York and in every
city, town or hamlet throughout the
country"

Astor, Candidate
OF Government.
Beaten in Dover
Election Result Regarded as
New Protest of English
Against High Cost of
Policies of Lloyd George

From The Tribune's European Bureau
Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Lloyd George
government suffered serious political
reverse to-day in the bye-clection in
the Dover division Of Kent, where the
opposition candidate, Sir Thomas Pol.
son, whose platform called for drastic
snational economy, defeated the Coali-
tion representative, Major John Jacob
Astor, by $3.50 votes. At the general
election three years ago in Dover the
governments candidate had q majority
of more than 5000.
The results Of the Dover election,
which was held to fill the seat made
vacant by the admission Of Lord Dun
cannon to the House of Lords, stood:
Poison, 13,947; Astor, 1887. Major
Astor is younger brother Of Viscount
Astor.
To-day's defeat for the government,
together with the announcement yes
terday that the coalition candidate in
the Hereford bye-election won his seat
with 5000 fewer votes than his prede-
cessor had. shows how determined the
country is for a reduction in govern
n.s.,>i4 expenditures. Observers be-
lieve that the government will be un-
able to ignore this tide of dissatisfac-
tion when Parliament meets again
next month.
LONDON, Jan. IS (By The Associated
Press).-Sir Thomas Poison said to-
night that he interpreted the vote as a
warning to the government ITO cease
its spendthrift policy"
Lord Rothe1mere, who for long
in favor of retrenchment, declared that
there was not q single Conservative
seat in South England safe for the
government.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-14

Mr.. Weeks for Secretary Of War to his
colleagues is the fact that they admire
his ability as business man, and they
have been greatly agitated by what
they regard as the stupid waste Of
money by the War Department in the
last year, simply. as they look at it,
from lack of ordinary common business
sense.
Hundreds Of millions Of dollars
would have been saved to the govern
ment. many Senators and members of
the House are convinced. if real busi-
ness man had administered the War
Department and been permitted to take
charge Of the sale of war materials
since the armistice.
While the names of several high
army officers. notably Generals Wood.
Pershing and Clarence Edwards, have
been mentioned in connection with the
portfolio of War, every single member
of the so-called Senate oligarchy has
been opposed to the appointment of an
army officer for Secretary of War or
naval officer as Secretary of the
