Aeronautic Body Urges Re-
tention of Adequate
;. Appropriations.

Facts and figures tending to show
that the Army air service, naval
aviation and the national advisory
committee for aeronautics are in
danger through public ignorance or
apathy were presented today in a
statement by the Aeronautical Cham
ber of Commerce of America, with
headquarters in New York.
Since the conclusion of the world
war, the chamber states. the apprO-
priations for the aerial arm have
steadily diminished. The Army air
appropriations in 1920-1921 were S3S.-
100000. in the following year Sl9,-
100000. and the proposed estimates
for 1s22-1923 are $15,21o,770. The
Navy figureG for these years, re-
spectively. are S20.0Oo.000: $1S.413,43l
and $17,O43.S10.
The statement points out the
demonstration of last summer as to
the effectiveness of aircraft as
means of coastal defense. 1t also
adds that the recent conference on
the limitation of armament not only
refused to limit the aerial arm, put,
on the contrary, adopted recommends
tions looking toward its Develop
ment.
Figures for Great Britain air forces.
the statement says, show that wa
OOo, 900 has been appropriated for its
air service, while France has ap-
propriated approximately SSl,0OO.0oo
for her air force.
The statement concludes:
The amounts proposed for our air
service in 1929 (Army. SIS. .2lo,1Io;
Navy. S17.O43.310) are now before the
appropriations COMMITTEES. and IT IS
reported that they are to be cut. the
suggestion comes from tie belef
that. if the Army is to be reduced, all
branches must be reduced in equal
proportion. But this cannot be wise

one instrumentality that has not
been completely developed. 1t Is the

revolutionized our coast defense and
contributed directly toward saving

ture war will be our first and fore

SEE IMPROVEMENT
IN UNEMPLOYMENT
Conditions Greatly Improved
in February, and Spring
Boom Predicted.

Marked improvement in unemploy-
ment conditions generally in the Dis
trict of Columbia during February was
noted today in the monthly survey of
the United States employment service,
made public by Director Francis /.
Jones.
Notwithstanding the lay-off Of ap-
proximately 1.40O navy yard workers.
the employment situation in the Dis
trlct OF columbia continues to improve.
Automobile repair shops. according to
the report. are showing marked in
creased activity. Unemployment of
common labor is declining slightly. and
indications are that building in the Dis
trict Is to resume full operation in the
already started excavating for spring
building.
Impetus to industry here j. expected
to be given by contracts fo< two junior
high schools and additioE< to eight pub
lie schools. involving expenditure of ap-
proximateiy 100000 contracts for
which have already been let.
General business conditions. the sur
vey says. are quiet, but most employers
are optimistic and believe that spring
will bring about a resumption of full
business activities.
Forecast of great industrial i'm
provement for March was made by
the service in it's monthly report.
reports from 231 of the principal
Industrial centers, with but few ex-
ceptions. show a general Improvement
in employment conditions" Director
Jones announced, "and breathe an en-
thusiastic spirit of hope and conf

mitting, March will begin an era of
great activity"
Employment conditions showed
practically no alteration during Feb
ruary. however. according to the
studies of the service. only half of
per cent more men being reported
on payrolls at the end of the month
then at it's beginning. Only the tex
tile and paper industries evidenced
increased Unemployment and this was
more than made up by additions to
working forces in nearly all other
lines.
Out of sixty-five cities from which
statistics were gathered by the de-
partment forty-four showed small
percentage increases in employment,
while twenty-on reported fewer men
on poyrolls. New York City reported
an increase in employment of l.9 per

CHILE AND PERU EXPECT
TO SETTLE DISPUTE
Reports of Secret Agreement on
Tacna-Arica Question
Are Denied.

SANTIAGO. Chile, March 6.-For-
eign Minister Ernesto Barros Jarpa
characteriZes as inaccur; te dispatches
Buenos Aires to the effect that a
secret understanding has been reach
ed by the presidents of Peru and Chile
in the settlement Of the Tacna- africa
dispute.
Senior Barros declares that the
question had the same status in which
it was placed as an outcome of re-
cent diplomatic exchanges. asserting
that Chile had nothing to conceal
in this respect. He told the cores
pondent that he believed that Peru
and Chile would reach an agreement
over the contested territory at the
conference in Washington. The sug-
gestion that africa be given to Chile
and Tacna to Peru has been dis
cussed here often by Chilean writers.
This proposal has never seriously
entered any of the many diplomatic
negotiations between the two re-
publics so far as is generally known.
Chilean delegates declare they have
received final instructions from thei,
government concerning the Wash
ington meeting. Chile's recent notes
to Peru have insisted on the execution
Of the unfulf1lled clauses in the Ancon
treaty. including a plebiscite to de-
termine solution OF the disputed ter
ritory.
Neither the American State Depart
ment nor the embassies of Chile and
Peru here had received any advices
today tending to confirm reported
terms of settlement of the Tacna-
africa dispute published in a Buenos
Aires newspaper.
