Washington, D. c., Dec. 23.-France

ice.
Japan has seventeen factories work

planes.
England has an air Admiralty and
startling national development in1
aeronautics. n
America invented the aeroplane, but
America has no air service worthy Of
consideration.
These facts have burned themselves
into the mind of President CoIlidge.
Quietly he has been digesting the
growing comment of the press ON this
subject. Calmly and without any
splash he has been analyzing the sit
uatioE relative to our national de-
tense. Now, without any dramatic
message he has set out to give Ameri-
ca her proper and sensible place In

The President Is disposed to believe
the aeroplane is destined to supplant
the battleship as our first line of de-
fense. He is determined to know
whether his judgment is correct. He

NATIONAL BAPTIST PRESIDENT
SPEAKS AT CLEVELAND.

According to the engagement made
several months ago, President L. K.
Williams made visit to Cleveland,
Ohio recently. He was met at the train
by Drs. Ailer, Jones Smith and others.
He was domiciled at the home of Mr..
Williams. In the afternoon he visited
The Christian Community Center and
made survey of the same. At three
o'clock he held a mass meeting Of the
pastors, about thirty-five or forty being
present. DR.. Williams made a speech
on the work and program of the Nation
al Baptist Convention; there was o
Round Table talk and the entire Con
ference pledged itself to support the
program of the National Baptist Con.
vention. This was great achievement
for the National Baptist Convention. A,
night the President had an audience,
largely sprinkled with white friends,
that filled to Overlooking the Euclid
Street Baptist Church, (also known as
the Rockefeller Baptist Church!) The
speaker made a convincing appeal for
justice and fair play in behalf Of the
Negro Race, which will long be remem
bered by those who listened to it. From
Cleveland President Williams went to
Buffalo, N Y, and to New York City.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

1. Installation of Water Supply and
irrigation system to- meet agricultural
and domestic needs. Rainfall generally
ample IL conserved. This will insure
more regular employment as well a.
more and better home grown food sup
plies.
2. Restoration of st. Thomas as a
Port of Call with (a) The same right
Of foreign vessels to seal their wine,
ETC., lockers as when passing through
the Panama Canal. (b) Develop water
supply to meet needs Of all ships.
3. Institute Study of Preparation
of Bay Rum that will restore It's mar
ket standing without violating our Pro
hibition laws. The Bureau Of Stant:-
ards of the Department of Commerce
could materially help in this study, as
we'll as that Of the Bureau Of Chemis.
try of the Department of Agriculture.
4. While the native population thru
their long custom Of "Consentual MAJ
riages" are as moral as any in the West
Indies. yet it is very advisable
that all marriages should conform to
OuI VI lllcl Oldi iOidIiOho' L.
is not fair to these people to classify
their children from "Consentual NAL
riages" as illegitimate in the broad
sense that we often use the term. The
fact that over two-thirds of the chill
dren are the product of these ,'Consen
tual Marriages" shows the necessity
from some education in the moral code
Of our American standards.
5. AS an Aid to the Development OF
the preceding ideal of American stand
ards we strongly urge that a system be
arranged between the Public Schools
of the Virgin Islands and the leading
Colored Colleges in the United States
for an exchange of teachers and schol-
arsllips for Island students Of from one
% to ONE hundred each year in order
that the educational systeming be slim
ulated and true American ideas and
ideals be assimtlated and encouraged
on the Islands as well as on the main
land of the United States.

WILD DUCKS
LIKE WINTER

L Jamestown,.N. D., Jan. 16.-Wil-
lard Pierce, farmer living northwest
of Jamestown, reports that 10 wild
ducks are wintering in that vicinity.
He sees them nearly every day as
they fly to and from the James and
Pipestem rivers and cornfields in that
district. They were in his cornfeld
on Dec. 26, and again one day last
week. Mr.. Pierce says that there is
always some open water on both the
James and'the Pipestem rivers about
the springs and he believes the ducks
stay in that and feed in the corn
fields. He does not know the variety
but says that they are large duck.
He has been in the state a long time
and once shot a duck on the James
