Fear English Trade Dominance.
Attacking the experts report di-
rectly, the reactionary economic docu-
ment says:
The report contains no word that
German production must be put on a
solvent basis This is the only ef-
fective guarantee against wasting
foreign credits On the contrary, the
report limits the effectiveness of pro-
ducton by a series of control. All the
provisions OF the report are based on
German industry, but with the pro-
duction of only a surplus.
"The entente-notably England
would like a Germany which is not
a competitor, but would be open to
persuasion concerning the report
when awakened to the risks attached
to a loan under the present condition
of industry"
To the German industrialists the
most telling argument is this:
Technical possibilities for decreas-
ing reparations would be created
when there is a general recovery of
Europe: the world will not be able
to absorb Germany'S overproduCtion.
1.-THE big sums for reparationS have
their origin in losses during the war
by the entente industry which will
be repaired by time. Therefore It is
not to Germany's interest to urge an
immediate settlement Of reparationS

ports and the flight log up to date.
Four Hours in Air Enough.
During the war a days flying foraF
an officer was considered to be about
four hours, as the strain of flying did
not permit him to average more than
this amount and perform the various
and sundry other duties required OF
the nyln@ officer. In it's application :
to the world flight, this figure was .
borne In mind and reasonable prog
ress schedule worked out as indicated
above. The flight progress TO date 8
indicates that this was a correct basis
for schedule, as the flight has now
completed about one-third of the total
distance over the worst section of the,
route. in slightly more than twon
months time. ~
Upon their arrival in Shanghai.s,
which was the first point of contact
with the mainland Of the continent OF
Asia the fiiers had completed ninety

About S.400 miles has been completed

Credits, they say, will come auto

Whether the Deutch national party
succeeds in capturing the govern

whether they simply continue as the

Plans Virtually Complete.
All arrangements for the world
flight have been completed, or will
be completed within the next month
or six weeks. All f4cilities are ready
for the flight as far as Turkey. The
advance officer of the section from
Calcutta to Ccnstantinople, should
complete his preparations this week,
while the advance officer for the
Fifth Division. across Europe, will
start his work next week There are
two advance officers on the North
Atlantic section of the route, who
have just arrived In Europe and they
viii have completed all arrangements
for the passage of the flight before
the middle of July. In the meantime
co-operation is being arranged with
Danish navy to form radio chain
across the North Atlantic Ocean
during the long water flights, SO that
radio chain entirely around the
plies, including fuel, have been laid
down at all points. and the flight
now is able to proceed as fast as
weather and the fortunes of flying
will permit.
Accurate Measurement Impossible.
A days march on the road Is fifteen
miles and it is expected that troops
can keep up this speed day after
day. This distance, Of course, is
sometimes doubled, or even tripled
by forced marches, but troops can
not continue this pace for more than
one day at time. days flying
for an aviator cannot be accurately
measured in miles as the speed of
different types of airplanes varies, as
does also their radius of action. Fly
ing hours per day is the unit of meas
sure in the case of aviators.
Like every mode of transportation,
aircraft has certain limitations, for
which allowances must be made when
plans for their use are being con-
sidered Their radius of action is
limited, due to limited fuel capac-
tty. 1t is dangerous to fly airplanes
in sever storms, when objects on
the ground cannot be seen. Night
| flying without organized and we'll
equipped airdromes for such flying
is extremely hazardous. All these
limitations had to be considered and
provided for in the case of the world
flight.
Expect Two Months for Delays.
In establishing seven major repair
| and supply depots and eleven sub
2diary depotS, a total Of two months
was estimated as the necessary delay
| at these points to recondition the air
planes, based, Of course, on the con-
sideratiOn that the labor in most
| cases had to be performed by the
pilots and mechanics on the flight,
which would not be the case over
an organized airway. This left four
months time for actual flying. and to
care for emergency repair between
depots. for which purposes each air
plane carries complete set of tools

Church Uurees All
Race Members to
Support Race Press
(By H. T. Medfordl

Washington. d. c., Sept. 25.-The
Bureau of Public Affairs. inaugurated
at the recent General Conference Of
the A. M. e. Zion Church. with Bishop
e. d. w. Jones Of Washington, d. c.,
at its head, sends out, in its third
weekly release, an appeal to the min
listers and laity of the church to sub
scribe, support and aid Negro news
papers. The Negro church and the
Negro press must work together in
the education of the race, not only in
religion, but in politics, in social deal
|ings, in economies and in general up
life movements. The Bureau urges
its constituency in particular and the
race in general:
First-To read Negro newspapers.
Second-To create a demand for
them at news stands in the country
to sell Negro papers by asking for
them weekly.
Third-To aid Negro editors to Sc
cure news of the race, its progress
and ventures by becoming voluntary
reporter in your community. Expose
injustice; tell Of relationship between
the races; give out important happen
ings and let the world know us
through our own mediums. We are
not in position, just yet, to become
members of the great press associa-
tions Of the world, but we are able
to form a voluntary news gathering
association among ourselves. No
town should be without such a re-
porter.
Fourth-To subscribe for Negro
magazines.

LEWIS OF BOSTON
POLITICAL MIGRATE

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, Sept. 25.-William ii.
Lewis of Boston announced in the
New York Times, Democrat, a few
days ago that he proposes to support
the ticket Of Davis and Bryan. rather
than the ticket of Coolidge and
Dawes. Observers are wondering
whether Lewis Is nursing personal
peeve in striving to put his all against
the terrors of the degenerating Kiux.
Lewis comes from Massachusetts,,
the state of Calvin Coolidge. Repub-
iican nominee for President Of the
United States. Lewis Is a graduate Of
Harvard, and likewise Of Amherst,
the alma mater of President Coolidge.
The records show that Lewis has on
occasion, paid his respects to Presi-
dent Coolidge at the White House.
and has been cordially received. as
other good American citizens. For a
number Of years he has not been "ac-
tive in politics." whatever that may
mean.
Prior to the naming of director
of the division Of colored voters, the
name Of Lewis was discussed along
with that Of many others. II Is un-
derstood on high authority that there
is a letter of date late in July from
r awfa IN which ha urgas his f3fnesa
for the position Of director of racial
voters. Now, since Attorney William
c. Matthews of Boston, also Har-
ward man. and having Offices in the
same building that Lewis holds forth
in Boston, has been named for direc-
tor, is Lewis sore, and getting back
at the party that brought him out Of
