that the development of aviation will
become of great importance for com-

craft has been remarkable, the use
has not as yet been extensively de-
veloped in America"
A bill to create a bureau is pend

mittee.
The report which supplemented one
made last April recommended con-
tinuation of the air mail service and
development OF aviation for military
and naval purposes. Liberal proyi-
sion should be made, the committee
said, for maintenance OF the army
