The Air Tr7ve'ers

Dur'ne 1921 l,2e0 airNlanes oper-
ated by civil ans carried approxi-
mate'v 275.00o passengers q total Of
more than 5n0,o niles in the air
throughout tie United & ates. says a
report to the Department # Com
!. merce by h Aero~autical Chamber
If Commerce Of America.
The modest suggestion made by
the chamber tha these FIGURES tend
to prove that America is holding h
own in The air so far as individual
effort and accomplishment are con-
cerned' seslns almost superAuous.
Yet there exists no administrative or
legal machiVerv to govern this vast
amount of aerial travel-the United
States being the only country Of any
size in the world without air laws of
any kind
This country has TO machinery to
prevent un-airworthy airplanes from
taking the air and ieopardizing the
lives of pilots and passengers.
There is no nation wide law to pre-
vent foolhardy pilots from endanger-
ing the lives of others. There is no
body to test out and pass upon the
safety Of any design before it is
flown.
Under these circumstances it is
greatly to the credit of all respon-
sible concerns engaged in the devel-
opment Of air transport that they
have made such a solid advance and
have themselves curbed the reckless
personnel and developed machines of
an airworthy character.
The report shows that there was q
20 per cent increase of passenger
flying throughout the country as
compared with the previous year.
The public is gradually becoming
convinced that aviation properly run
is comparatively safe. Another en-
couraging fact contained in the re-
port concerns the effort to insure the
passage of SUITABLE aeronautical
legislation by Congress. 1t shows
that practically every legal, aero
nautical and insurance body in the
country has heartily indorsed the
Wadsworth-Hicks bill which is now
before Congress and practically in
sured Of enactment.
Concerning the Air Mail Service,
which has maintained an average Of
New-York tribune., 1922-01-04

ss.s2 per cent efficiency in completed
trips on schedule time since its in
ception in May, 1918, the report
says; "The United States Air Mail
Service IN 1921 made such record.
for efficiency on the transcontinental
route that it IS recognized as a model
for civilian aerial transport the
world OVER This service has sue
cessfully maintained a night flying
schedule, and its route is now fully
protected by a lnked-up wireless
telegraph and telephone service
which acts in the same capacity as
the block system does to the railroad.
New-York tribune., 1922-01-04

giving such approval still remains
on the American statute books.
That if the proposal lately made in
the Congress to repeal the said law
be carried out the people of Canada
viii have no cause to complain, since
the Americans have kept the law un-
impaired for the long term Of eight
years, during which Canada has
made no move to avail herself of its
provisions.
That while, for these reasons, this
convention can take no exception 10
the proposal SO made at Washington.
we as Liberals again place on record
our appreciation of the object of the
said agreement and our faith in the
principles of friendly international
relations underlying it, and we cx-
press our earnest hopes that in both
countries such principles will be uD-
held and that a favorable moment
may come when there will be re-
newed manifestation by the two gov
ernments of desire to make some
similar arrangement
Conditions have rianged much since
he reciprocity pact was first placed
'efore the Canadian people ten or
'leven years ago. They have changed
ven since the Liberals adopted the
platform in 1919. Since that time the
United States Congress has repealed
ne reciprocity agreement. However.
ne principles underlying reciprocity
laVe not altered since it was first
'laced before the Canadian people.
New-York tribune., 1922-01-04
The Liberal Policy

During the campaign many of the
Liberal members spoke favorably of a
revival in some form of reciprocity
agreement. Many people who believe
they understand the temper of the
people Of the United States arc conf
dent that the United States would well
come proposal for reciprocal trade.
The Liberal policy on reciprocity as
adopted at the Ottawa convention reads
as follows:
That the reciprocity agreement ne
gotiated with the United States by
the Liberal government of Canada in
1911 was measure which realized
the hopes that had been entertained
and efforts made for better trade re-
lations between Canada and the
neighboring republic by statesmen
OF both political parties in the
Dominion from the beginning Of the
Dominion's history.
That the agreement was fair and
just to both countries and we'll cal
culated to promote the good rela-
tions so desirable.
That the action Of the Conserva-
tive party under the leadership of
Mr., now Sir Robert, Borden in op-
posing and defeating the agreement
was a sacrifice of the best interests
of Canada for distinctly partisan
ends
That the insincerity of the move
ment of the Conservative leaders on
that question has been abundantly
evidenced by the fact that after
coming into Office they proceeded to
make one of the very tariff changes
dcnunciation of which was their
chief ground in the elections Of
1911.
That the action of the Conserva-
tive leaders in preventing the con-
summation Of so excellent an ar
rangement between the two coun-
tries deserves and should still re-
ceivc whenever the opportunity oc-
ours the severe condemnation Of the
Canadian people.
That the reciprocity agreement
was approved in 1911 by tho Congress
Of the United States, and the law

France Friends
Are They No, More Essential Than
Submarines to Her Safety?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; Nothing but sympathy is &C
corded to France by The world in what
it regards as Frances great mistake
in insisting on much larger allot-
mcnt Of submarine armament than the
conference at Washington has desired
to assign her.
From the standpoint Of going it alone
when Germany gets strong enough to
make her next trip west, with her
fangs barred this time for the annihia-
ton Of France for good and all, France
undoubtedly would find more defence in
two submarines than in one. But
France cannot, now or ever, "go it
alone In saving her l'fc from the wild
boav of the North; she must depend on
her friends. But friends who at mo-
mcnt's notice get up an army Of
100000 soldiers, transport them 1900
miles overseas and let Germany take
one good look at the procession and
then throw up her hands, are not
friends to whom it is good judgment
to say: "Ncver mind your world con-
ference; get out Of my way when
want to build submarines" it is bad
mistake, due to "nerves"
The United States generously felt
that it had score TO pay in France
for Revolutionary account. The United
States now justly feels that that score
is paid, and, as one may say, paid big.
1t would be a terrible misfortune
when European premicrs are cabling
Washington Historically for "Ships,
ships! You arc quick 60 build them;
send ships or We die" if Washington
should reply, "Our people don't see it;
depend on your submarines"
Frances first choice is her friends
1t is her last and every other choice.
for that matter. England has learned
that well. The rest Of the world has
learned it, and France VIII learn it
after she shall have stcadied her
nerves. France must be given a decent
time to get her balance after her awful
ordeal. She must, and no doubt she
Will But it remains true that France
is now making the mistake of her life
in "queering" the entire Washington
conference by insisting on the lesser
point Of submarine armament.

The ChiIda Case

On Saturday Justice Wagner. on
the recommendation Of the District
Attorneys Office, dismissed the in
dictments that long have stood
against William Hamlin Childs for
alleged violation of the corrupt
practices act in the Mitchell cam
paign Of four years ago So, by the
fight Of the prosecution, was brought
TO an end most extraordinary Grim
inal case.
The facts, although persistent
attempts have been made to befog
them, are simple. Mr.. Childs
is a highly regarded private
citizen, who during long life,
-hough never holding public of
See, has had the good of the publ
closely at heart, Fearing the loss
Of gains made for good government
during the Gaynor and Mitchell ad-
ministrations, he bcsought Mayor
Mitchell to stand for reelection when
ihat heroic young man wished to get
INTO soldiers uniform. Then, as
chairman Of the fusion executive
committee, he threw himself into
the municipal struggle, sparing
neither his time nor his money.
Tamnany and Hearst took note of
Mr.. Childs. Other men, it was said,
must be discouraged from yielding
10 the urge Of civic duty. 1t had
cost money to pay for the publicity
hat comes as q matter Of course
TO older political organizations, and
70 hold hundreds Of meetings
night and to do the thousand things
necessary 10 gain attention in vast
and busy city. The necessary and
patriotic expenditures were attacked
IS scandalous. Orders went out to
get" Mr. Childs. A Judge was
ound who was under political OBJ
legations to the Hearst elements, and
in the District Attorneys office sat
Hearst Tammany selection. A
friendly grand jury promptly
brought in indictments. A hue and
cry was loudly on.
The particular charges were so
gauzy as to be laughable. Among
the speakers openly employed by the
fusion speakers committee were
lischa Applebaum and William Sui
zcr, one being paid $4,000 and the
other $6,500 At the request of the
committees treasurer Mr.. Childs
wrote q check to meet the bills. But
when the assistant treasurer made
out the expenditure report and filed
it at Albany the two items were
Jumped. not distributed. This lump
ing was the practice Of the other
trcasurers, notably that Of Tam
many Hall, and in no respect does
Mr.. Childs appear to have been
guilty Of any ofense, even the tech
meal one of routine signing of pa
peis prepared for him. He had
signed nothing. The law did not re-
cuire that he should On the treas
urer was laid the duty of reporting
expenditures. Nevertheless orders
apparently were that an Indictment
should be forced.
So the indictment was not for
making a false report but for
conspiracy to induce the treasurer
to make one. The services paid for
had BEEN performed, the expendi-
lures reported had actually oc
Cured, yet without a scrap of cred
ible evidence it was charged that
Mr.. Childs had conspired for sup
preston of the facts. The accusa
ton was so preposterous that it is
not strange the District Attorney
