SECRET PLANES SEEN
IN BRITISH PAGEANT
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 30.-France may en-
joy military supremacy in the air, but
the thousands Of persons who witness
ed the great aerial pageant at Hen
don today came away convinced that
Great Britain leads in the variety of
air machines at her disposal.
In addition to the we'll known types
of planes used in war service and the
tiny wren" of three horsepower
there were several secret" airplanes,
the particulars of which were not
made public and which the specta-
tors viewed for the first time.
The king and queen were on the
field just before the pageant opened,
together with members of the In
ternational Air Congress, which has
been holding its session in London
during the past week.
The chief event of the extensive
program was the evacuation of a be-
sieged bridgehead. In the course of
this operation troops equipped with
airplanes rescued a beleaguered gar
rison, while scouts shot down the at
tacking force. The bridge was even
tually blown up and the machines
were withdrawn In safety.
Then followed various competitions,
realistic air battles and stunt flying.
Bombing planes went through their
PAGES, while thirteen of the most
recently evolved secret military types
made an exhibition flight. A touch
Of humor was provided when the
tiny wren" plane scared around the
field with the great 1,00O-horsepower
rlachine, the biggest single engine
plane in the world

HILLES CALLS FORD
A MERE BAG OF GOLD
Election Would Be Bowling to
Mammon, Republican Com
mitteeman Says.
By the Associst ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 30.-Election to
the presidency of Henry Ford, "a
mere bag of gold" would be bowling
down to Mammon. Charles D. HiIles,
republican national committeeman
from New York, declares in a state
ment printed by the New York World
today
His candidacy" Mr.. Hilles says,
must be taken seriously because OF
the obvious conviction of a vast num-
ber Of people that a man who has
created the most prosperous manu-
featuring enterprise the world has
ever seen has evidenced the possess
sion of qualities which would enable
him to succeed to the presidency.
FORD does not strike the MuSsolini
note OF the Trotsky note. He does
not strike any note in consonance
with cotemporary liberalism. He Is
not protestant against majority un-
wisdom, nor is he a chronic minori-
ance of national psychology and Of
political problems. His attitude to-
ward public affairs in un-American.
He boasts Of his bigotry.
Ford would make a pitiable spec
tacle as President because he has
revealed a political knowledge and
sense that q schoolboy would be
ashamed Of And 1t is Mr.. Ford who
asserted that all history is mere
bunk Henry Ford is said to be the
richest man in the world. 1t is part
of our Americanism to begrudge no
man his wealth If he has made II
honestly and in service. But If we
place at tine head of the nation, to
speak for US before the world, mere
bag Of gold, who knows nothing about
anything except making automobiles,
we shall bow down to Mammon, in
deed, and the democracy of Washing
ton and Lincoln will degenerate into
failure"

Relief in Ship Liquor War Must
Wait Until December.

Unless Great Britain and other
maritime powers indicate a willing
ness to enter into negotiations with
the United States looking toward ad-
justment of the ship liquor problem.
its solution, in the opinion of admin
istration officials, probably will be
left to Congress
Although the suggestion OF the
American government for n prohi-
bftion treaty apparently is doomed 10
quarters that Great Britain may ad
vance counter-p proposal which
would serve to keep the proposition
from going completely into the dis
that a general conference, for dis
cussion of the prohibition question in
its international aspects, may be sug-
geSted
Despite these possibilities-and off,
cials here admit they are nothing
more-the belief is general that for
eign shipping lines must look TO Con-
gress for relief. No one will venture
gress would be inclined to amend the
prohibition law to enable foreign yes
sells to bring liquor stocks into Amer
ican ports under seal, or whether the
administration would recommend re-
vision of the law.
For the Immediate future, it was
reiterated today, the administration
is determined to rigidly enforce the
law as applied to foreign shipping,
and, although 1t is not believed such
a step will be necessary, is prepared
to carry into effect provisions for
seizure of craft carrying contraband
liquor in American waters.
London dispatches, quoting Secre-
tary Mellon of the Treasury as saying
he had not heard of the proposal TO
apply the ship seizure clause Of the
Volstead act in case the present sit
uation continues, were taken here to
mean that since leaving on his vaca
ton the secretary has not kept adj
vised OF details of the ship liquor
controversy. 1t is assumed he did
not know of the announcement made
Thursday by Acting Secretary Gill
bert that tentative regulations for
ship seizures have been drafted and
are being held in allegiance with
the hope that they will not need to
be put into effect

PARIS, June 30.-An indirect but

Poincare's reiteration of his oft-re.

Justifying for the benefit of tenn

the position of France toward Ger

lect what is owed her had been met

insidious and criminal" He added:

pecially at the Holy see-where err

Asserting that mot q single day
passes but German industrialists are
attempting to meet our own business
men or politicians" the premier as
sured the senators he was fully in
formed of all such moves and that
France would fall into no more

The recent German proposals, he
said. are not deserving OF a reply. be-
cause they are not serious. France
does not desire to conflscate the Ruhr

NEW YORK. June 30.-The six
months period. which closes today,
will go down in automobile history
as the greatest the industry has ever
Known. Many Of the companies have
made and sold as many cars during
this period as they disposed OF in
the whole year of 1921. The Ford
company will show sales of approx
mately 100000 cars and trucks when
full returns are in. compared with
soo,O0O for the twelve months of 1921
beiore July is over, Ford will have
turned the million production mark

now that the turning point has been
reached there is every evidence that
q a. favorable showing will be made

New Models Under Way.
Ford is under no necessity to cut
prices, that is from the standpoint of
stimulating sales, but the Ford Com
pany has an eye on the widest posi-
BILE distribution throughout the next
winter and may act without regard
to the immediate profit involved.
Some shortening OF production is
taking place incident to the springing
OF new models on the public, That is
the case at the Buick plants, where
changes are being made preparatory
to the building of new model to
appear in August and at the Hupp
factory, which will exhibit its new
product within week-at a slightly
Increased price.
Manufacturers Will Slow Down.
Factory production the country
over will slow down the next week

bleached cotton goods prices has not

the flrmness of prices at the London
sales.
Raw silk prices both here and in
Yokohama have fallen to new low
figures for the year this week. This
has been due not only to the slack
ness of demand, but to the influx of
1923 silk. which is expected to come
on the market in the next few weeks.
Lumber Prices Due for Fall.
/. Lumber prices are expected to drop
shortly, although the decline probably
will not be great. In fact the move
ment has already taken place in the
southern pine territory, where, after
fall OF SO to s5 a thousand feet,
prices have stabilized. In the Pacific
northwest the decline, when 1t comes.
Is not expected to extend beyond the
midsummer season. Continued high
production with lessened demand be-
cause OF the halt to building Is as
signed as the cause.
Non-ferrous metals, now at a COM
paratively low level of prices are ex-
pected to react before the summer is
over and this tendency will be helped
along by the movement for curtail-
ment of production, which is making
itself apparent, especially in the lead
and zinc Industries.

LONDON. June So.-Andrew W.
Mellon, American Secretary of Treas.
ury, who arrived in England last eve
ming on the Majestic. told the news
papermen here today that the United
States government had no intention
Of relaxing it's attitude regarding tile
confiscation Of liquor on board in
coming liners. He saw no solution Of
the problem until Congress met he
added.
Secretary Mellon reiterated his
statement that the United States gov
ernment had never contemplated seiz-
ing foreign liquor carrying ships or
OBTAINING their captains.
Mr.. Mellon said he expected to SEQ
British government officials, but In
formally rather than officially. He
added that he had no intention Of dis
cussing the debt problem or repara-
tions and that he did not expect to
visit the Ruhr.
Secretary Mellon said he expected 20
spend July in England visiting rela-
tives and old-time friends, in com
pany with his son and his daughter
afterward going to France and Be
giun and visiting the battlefields.
No OmcfaI Mission
Asked whether he would see Pre-
mier Poincare and other French Off
Gals. the Secretary said he naturally
expected to see them socially, and
would probably take occasion to dis
cuss informally problems in which
the two countries are interested.
Mr.. Mellon insisted his trip to Eu-
rope was wholly in the nature of
vacation, and that he had no specific
mission from his government. He ex-
poets to return to Washington by
September 1, and will confine his tray-
el in Europe to England, France ard
Belgium, not visiting Germany or
Italy.
Secretary Mellon denied reports
that large quantities of liquor had
appeared on the Majestic soon after
the three-mile limit was passed.
British interviewer asked the
Secretary if the Fourth of July would
be dry in America.
Il suppose it will be in some spots"
smilingly replied Mr.. Mellon.
