HARDING SUBMITS
AVIATION REPORT
GIVING new PLANS
Statement for Formula
tiOn of Air Policy Is
Sent Congress.
by ARTHTR SEARS HENNING.

President Harding has set out to
put America abreast of other ma
tions in the navigation of the air.
In support of the recommended
tions in his message last week the
Executive transmitted to Congress
yesterday a special report Of the
national advisory committee for
aeronautics, made at his request,
for a formulation of a national avia-
tion policy.
The advisory committee produced
within a week a survey OF the sit
uation containing the following rec
concentrations:
Separate Air Service Needed.
Il. Aviation is necessary to the
success of both the army and the
navy. Each should have complete
control of the character and opera
tions of its own air service
2. Aeronsutics is capable Of such
tremendous and rapid development
that IL is of vital Importance. in
time Of peace. to stimulate invention
and to encourage the practical use
OF air craft of all kinds
"3. 1t is considered imperative
that we maintain a sufficient nu-
cleus of available personnel and
adequate equipment OF the most
modern type as 4 foundation upon
which to build at the outbreak of
war.
=. 1t is essential that commercial
aviation be fostered and encouraged
IN harmony with the military and
naval aviation policies and pro-
grams.
/ IS. The air main service is an i'm
portant initial step in the develop
nient OF civil and commercial avia-
ton. 1t must be maintained and ex-
tended as rapidly as possible. not
only to carry the mails but to be-
come potential war reserve.
Regulate the Air.
IS, II is a duty of the Federal
government TO regulate air naviga-
tion. For this purpose a bureau Of
aeronautics should be established in
the Department of Commerce, by
legislation similar to the Kahn bill
as modified.
..'7. Approved policies to encourage
and develop commercial aviation
should be carried out by the De-
partment of Commerce.
"s. The army air service should
be continued and its existing organ
ization used in cooperation with
the navy. postoffice and other gov
ernmental agencies in the prompt
establishment of national contin-
entail air ways, and in cooperation
with the States and municipalities
in the establishment of local air
dromes, landing nelds and other
Necessary facilities.
SO. The naval air service and the
control of naval activities in aero
nautics should be centralized in a
bureau OF aeronautics in the Navy
Department.
Advisory CsmmIttees.
10. Broad questions of policy re-
garding the coordination OF the
activities Of all governmental
agencies concerned with aeronsutics
should be referred to a national ad-
visory committee for seronautics
for consideration and recomme nda-
tion'
I'll. This committee should have
authority to recommend on ques-
tons Of policy regarding the de-
Selopment of aviation. and desir-
able undertakings in the field OF
aviation"

BRITISH CONSIDER
FOOD DEPOTS AS
DISTRESS GROWS

By A. z. JOHNSON.


LONDON. April 1s.-Food kitchens
may be established in the congested
districts of England to relieve the
acute distress brought about by the
fuel and food famine which is daily
growing more serious.
The cabinet has under considers-
tion a system Of hot food depots to
be established by the government
wherever the necessity is apparent
Board o: Trade oficials declared
that the fuel situation is the most
critical in the history OF the nation
Further Restrictions Necessary.
Additional restrictions on the use
of coal are imperative and prob
ably will go into effect within the
next few days.
Under the most favorable condi
tions the miners will not return to
the pits before ten days unless the
strikers suffer an immediat col
lapse, which is not viewed as prob
able. No conference is possible be-
fore Saturday.
Even after the men decide to re-
turn to work. the resumption OF
production will be long delayed.
Forty-four pits are flooded and
temporarily unproductive. Some of
these may not be cleared for
months.
Shortage Ic,ooo.eoo Tons.
On the nineteenth day of the
strike a national shortage of more
than 100000 tons of coal exists.
The government today has a sup
ply only for public service. light
transport service. and for sanitary
and medical uses. All unessentisl
industries are ordered to cease op-
GRAFTON for the time being.
In the city of London no ofices
can be supplied with fuel and il is
expected that domestic consumption
may be forbidden soon, the govern
ment withdrawing even its nifty
eight pounds weekly allotment.
Plans for setting up the hot food
kitchens for the public have al
ready been drafted and were scruti-

SHIFT OF SOLONS

Democratic Supporters
Now Reported to Be

The Colombian treaty, which until
yesterday appeared certain of rati-
fication, has bee nthrown into jeop-
ardy by an unexpected break in
the ranks of Democratic Senators
who had been counted on to sup
port the pact.
Administration leaders in charge

their anxiety over--tt1e sudden

treaty would defeat 1t. The vote
will be taken today
Danger in Amendments.
Advocates OF the treaty were not
so much concerned over the pros
pect OF outright rejection Of the
pact as they were over the danger
OF amendment, stripping the agree
ment of some of its most essential
features. 1t was reported that the
opposition would concentrate its
strength behind an amendment TO
strike out special privileges grant
ed to the Republic of Colombia in
the use Of the Panama Canal.
Democratic Senator's were pre-
pared to support such an amendment
almost unanimously in coalition
with the insurgent Republicans
Adoption Of sucn an amendment
would require resubmission of the
treaty to Colombia and there is
grave doubt whether she would ac
cept II for the reason that the sne-
cial privileges are of enormous
value.
Reed Changes Position,
Senator Reed. of Missouri. Demo
crat. declared his opposition to the
treaty today although he has always
been regarded as a supporter of the
pact. He made a sarcastic attack on
Republican Senators, who after op-
posing the treaty for seventeen
years. are arguing now that its rati-
hcation would not reflect upon the
conduct of Roosevelt.
The greatest act of vandalism I
have ever known Is for a pretended
friend of Roosevelt to reach his
hand into the coffin of the helpless
dead and tear from it the shrouJ
and run it up as the white flag of
surrender over the one great monu-
ment Roosevelt sought to erect to

1t seems little odd that while
I remember very well our meeting at
Devils Lake, North Dakota, in 1915,
recall clearly the cordial welcome ac-
corded me, and have only the pleas
antest Of memories Of my stay with
my brother. members in Division No.

town itself as-well, just little town.
However, that was five years ago and
when Brother George w. Mcdonnell,
who met me on my. arrival at Devils

Sunday afternoon, September 25th,
turned me over to Brother Louis
Mundt and told him to show me
around I found that "Someone's been
doing things to it."
Now Devils Lake is a city with

Of imposing boulevard lights, it's resi-

And Devils Lake, some thirty miles
of Lake, about five miles from the
city, is the summer playground for
thousands of North Dakotans, the
Chautauqua Grounds, or City Park,
some thousand acres Of heavily wood

comfortable cottages and many pre-
tentious ones as well, monster audi
torium, dancing pavilion on the
lake shore and a handsome new bath
house on the beach. Brother Mundt
and Secretary-Treasurer Albrecht,
who was with us, told me that sew

there. I don't believe that that would
be hard to do.
