Air Ports Great Need of Our Cities

No industry in this country has been
developed without the scientific re-
search of college men. Take the in.
dustry which l know most about
mining and metallurgy-if II had not
been for the trained men who i'm
proved mining methods. and did away
with the wasteful treatment Of high
grade ores. and perfected processes
for the treatment of low-grade ores, i
say, that without these scientific men,
the metal industry would be nowhere
today. ,-ss
THE air industry needs the same
thing. 1t needs trained men, too.
When I speak of an air industry. l
very seriously mean what say. Com
mercial aviation Is very soon to be
| come a gigantic new industry. Ayia-
ton Is about to become a means of
transportation equally as important
as the motor car and the railroad.
With 1t a new profession for Amer
lean youth is opening. The older pro
fessions are already overcrowded and
opportunities for success in them are
limited. But here Is u new field with
unlimited opportunities. I wish l
were young again to take advantage
of them.
THAT is one of the ideas behind
the aviation school at New York

do you believe that the United
States Government should subsidize
our air transport companies2" asked.
Against Government Subsidy.
NO" was Mr.. Guggenheim's en-
phatic reply. This country and all
its industry was built up without
subsidy, and I believe we should stick
to- that principle. Commercial avia-
! ton is going to be a big thing, sub
S1dy or no subsidy.
1.-The European countries, / realize
have been subsidizing their air lines.
but then they also subsidize their rail
roads and their steamship lines. In
other words, they have governme Mt
| ownership, which is another form Of
| subsidy. Our mail lines, | understa nd
| are far more profitable than Europe's.
and that should be sufficient proof
| that we can develop without subsidy
"One danger we must guard against
however. is that of slipping back in
| aviation as we did IN ocean shipping.
| We were the creator of the airplane
| just as we were the creator of the
| fast sailing clipper and the steam.
| boat. We lead in creation, but we lag
! behind in later development. This
must not be repeated in the .ir."
When l asked Mr.. Guggenheinl
| what he thought OF a proposed air
mail route between New York and

| tions for refuelling he replied.

Briton. He was all for separate
pactS, but in reality one saw again =
in the debate the clash between the,
British and the continental view. The
continental nations maintain that the
whole of Europe is a unit and that
what occurs in one quarter concerns :
all; the British, who are on an island.
see only so much Of Europe as ad- .
joins their sea front.
So far the security pact has been
an issue between Germany. which is
not member OF the Lea que. Britain
which is an insular not a continental
power, and France. which is a CONT
mental power. On the whole the Brit :
ish and German points Of view have q
been analogous because the Germans
are ready to Concede the permaneuce
OF the status quo in the regions in
which the British are interested and !
France alone has been left to argue
as 10 the eastern question. Rut al
Geneva the eastern nations will be
heard and heard powerfully. Thus We
shall have renewal of the old debate %
which has always turned about the
same question.
Divergence Is Clear.
Beginning at the Paris conference >
the divergence between France and
the Anglo-SaXon nations was unmiS-
taxable. We went home and stayed
because We were unwilling to under
take any engagements with respect Of
European frontiers; the British have
so far refused to accept any of the va,
riouS proposals because they were
willing to take engagements only for
certain areas in which they were di
rectly interested. But the Continent.
is just as opposed to the insular view
and Geneva is almost certain to dis :
close the protest of the continental ma,
tions against the British idea which
for the moment has a German indorse-
ment.
Moreover, the necessity of France
to reconcile the two views. to find 4
some compromise for herself which
will give her British guarantee with
out losing her allcontinental stand
Ing and support, supplies the main
problem. That Geneva can accom-
plish much this year is unlikely, but
the debate promises 10 be both i'm
portant and Illuminating.

Communists Oppose
Swedish Cavalrymen

Disarmament plans Of the Swedish
government have led to plans for the
formation Of voluntary cavalry In
addition to the voluntary rife force
already in existence. This movement
has led to many protests among the
Communists and Social Democrats,
who declare that the Swedish con-
servatives are seeking to create a ma
tional Fascist organization to be
used in subduing the workers when
the right moment arrives. The Com
rnunists organ, Politiken, calls on
the workingmen to create rival
force for their own defense.

mary OF the most important
news Of the world for seven
days ending August %:
The British Empire. - There was
something peculiarly nasty and redo
lent OF Moscow in a concerted strike
the other day of considerable num-
bers of marine firemen on British yes
sells in harbors OF Britain, Australia
and South Africa, an outlaw strike,
disapproved by the unions. 1t has
tizzled out in Britain, but continues
formidably In Australia and South
Africa. AS Zinoviev and his British
henchnnen know. the British shipping
interest is In no condition to sustain
even minor shocks with equanimity.
There are some who find a connection
between this business and the assault
of the Red government at Canton on
British trade and shipping. The Reds
are just now making a special effort
to create disaffection in the British
army and navy.
According to Philip Snowden, the
average national tax per inhabitant
of the United Kingdom Is Is pounds Is
ShillingS, as against corresponding
averages as follows Expressed in Eng

II shillings 10 pence: France. 8 pounds
ling pence; Italy, pounds shil-
lings II pence.
II is reported confirmation seems
required that 81 obsolescent British
destroyers are TO be scrapped, and
that the pay Of sailors in the navy is
to be reduced 15 per cent. The Off
GERS pay has already been reduced by
that percentage.
The appointment Of Lord Baird
until the other day Sir John Baird)
as governor general of Australia is a
satisfactory one. Lord Baird has
shown competence as diplomat and a
member of Parliament. He served
with distinction at the bar, he was
minister OF public works and trans
port under Lloyd George after the
ar1nistice, he is an eager sportsman
and that should please the sport-loving
Australia MS. The salary of his new

s'Cet on the Air Routes"

Daniel Guggenheim, who
has just founded a School
Of Aviation at New York
University, says the age Of
air traffic is at hand and that
cities with landing fields will
get the routes. But he looks
for, a development that will
do away with the extensive
landing fields now required.
The airplanc, he says, has
passed the stage Of novelty
and wartime usefulness and
is rapidly. growing to be a
competitor OF the railroad
and the automobile. But
America lags behind.

How Standardization Works.

This scheme Of standardization of
public buildings IS carried into effect
under the direction of Assistant Sec
retary Mckenzie Moss of the Treasury
Department. in charge Of public
buildings, and of the supervising ar
chitect of the Treasury, James a
Wetmore. The Office of the supervis-
ing architect is charged with the duty
of making plans for the Federal build
ing under the jurisdiction of the Treas
ury Department and with planning all
extensions and repairs. The office
OF the supervising architect in re-
cent years has also designed and
erected for other departments Of the
IGovernInent q, number of hospitals and
miscellaneous buildings, particularly
hospitals for the Veterans Bureau
Congress, by the way. has been gem
erous in making appropriations for
years.
The Standardization of the public
buildings, with four classes. was ap-
proved In June, 1915. by the then
Secretary of the Treasury, William
Gibbs McAdoo. The leaning toward
buildings of the office building type,
rather than the ornamental ediflce,
has been marked in recent years.
Utility. combined with beauty of de-
sign, is the prime essential. Un-
doubtedly in the construction of Gov
ernment buildings, both In Washing
ton and outside, this idea will pre-
vail hereafter.
Among the large number of con-
geSted buildings outside OF Washing
ton which come under the control of
the Treasury Department there are
118 which stand out particularly as
requiring immediate legislation to in
crease the working space. Instead of
floor space of from rs to 100 square
feet per enlploye, which is declared to
be essential for healthy working con-
ditious. the majority of these have an
area as low as 40 square feet. In some
of thees buildings the employees are
afforded only rs square feet or one

cording TO these later dispatches the
citadel of Suweda in the Jebel Hauran
(or Jebel Druzl. with it's garrison Of
200 F'reuchmen, is still besieged. and
the rebellion of the Hauran Druses
is spreading.
Moreover. it is reported that the
French garrison at Deir-ez-Sor on
the Euphrates SYRIA has been cap
tured. But this seems highly inn
from any one of the three Druse dis
tricts. Very likely the capture was
made by the Boudins in sympathy
with the rebel Druses.
There's no end to the troubles Of

HIGH COURT REFUSES
DICK CASE REVIEW

The Supreme Court today refused
to review a case which Charles Dick
and his wife, Carrie P. Dick, sought
to bring in an effort to recover from
Marx Rawolle a promissory note
for $14,500, which they claim was
forced from them under threats of
bankruptcy proceedings.
In the courts of the District of Co
lumbia Dick contended, without sue
cess, that the promissory note had
been unlawfully obtained, insisting
that Marx & Rawolle, knowing that
he was unable to pay notes amount
ing to over $1,000,O00 and was in an
effort to extend them, had threatened
bankruptcy proceedings unless given
a promissory note in settlement for
material which had been furnished
the Lyraphone Co. and which he had
obligated himself to pay. The failure
of Marx & Rawolle to deliver the
goods within the time fixed had the
effect of canceling the contract, Dick
charged, and he insisted without sue
cess in the lower courts that he owed
the company nothing at the time their
threats forced him to give the promis-
sorry note.

COOLIDGE IS GIVEN
REPORT ON BRIDGE
Maj. Gen. Taylor Declares
Progress on Span Is
Satisfactory.

As chairman of the Arlington Me-

of the progress thus far made in the
foundation work for the bridge by
Maj. Gen. Harry Taylor. chief of En-
gineers, L. 5. A.
Gen. Taylor also told the President
that the dredging and bulk heading
work that will be necessary in the
channel on the Virginia side of Co
lumbia Island is to be done by Army
engineers under the personal direction
of Maj. j. A. O'Connor, Engineer Of
ficer for this district.
1t was explained to President Cool
idge that Maj. O'Connor's outfit here
has all the necessary equipment for
this work. Maj. O'Connor's outfit will
serve somewhat in the capacity of a
private contractor, at least to the ex-
tent that the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission will pay the War
Department for its work.
Other than to say that satisfactory
progress is being made in the founda-
ton work, Gen. Taylor would not go
into any details when he was leaving
the White House.

KAHN APPROVES CLOSING
OF ITALIAN EXCHANGES
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, April 20.-Otto H. Kahn,
New York financier, who is visiting
here, today spoke approving1y of the
government action in suspending op-
erations on stock exchanges through
out Italy until Wednesday morning.
This was done because traders op-
posed the government reform pro-
gram, which was intended to reduce
the evils of alleged excessive specu-
lation.
Interviewed by the Mussolini organ
Popolo d'Italia, Mr.. Kahn said Italy's
greatest need today is to guard
against imitation, and the only way to
do that effectively is to prevent un-
limited speculation. He said the gov
ernment's recent measures governing
stock exchange activities are quite
mild compared with the New York
Stock Exchange restrictions on traders.

to telegraph Premier Mussolini that
the present regulations are INSULT
cient, and requesting the premier's
personal Intervention to end agitations
of the money market, which, the mes
sage said, disturb the tranquility of
industrial life, handicap production
and facilitate the cornering of indus

JURY QUICKLY DRAWN
In KING GIRLS CASE
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md. April 20
Forty minutes after the trial of Eliza
beth NJ. King, II years old, accused
of smothering her two fatherless ba-
bies to death, was called in Circuit
Court here today che jury had been
drawn. the opening statements of
counsel had been submitted and the
taking of evidence was begun. This
was a record for speed.
Drs. George e. Lewis and William
T. Pratt testified it was impossible to
determine by their examinations
whether the infants, found dead in
the attic of the girls home, in Wood
mont, died before or after birth. The
only other dependence of the State for
conviction is the alleged confession of
the girl that she smothered the ba-
bies. Defense counsel Immediately
began it's fight to have her confession
excluded, and the decision of the court
on this point is expected to decide
whether the girl is acquitted or sent
to an institution. With Judge Robert
B. Peter on the bench is Judge Glen
H. Worthington.
