PARIS. August 10.
-FOUR chief experts OF aviation i'm
France have been studying dur
ing long stays in the United States
They are all well known in both coun-
tries. Capts. Fonck and Lemaitre. the
veteran inventor and engineer; Bre-
guet. and Henri Bouche. director of
the technical review, L'Aeronautique
They have summed up what are
evidently their very sincere impreS-
siOns and conclusions. First of all
they acknowledge the advance taken
by the United States in standardiZinc
manufactures and in applying electric
itE--but they think that aviation. not
this or that brilliant record. but the
organization of air navigation, is still
behind
In France the government central
ICES all questions through a special
underSeCretary of state. There is n
whole special service of aerial navi-
CATION. And the different boards keen
in touch with each other through q
special organization. Even civil air
planes must have certificates of "navi-
gability."
1t is noted that the American tech
nlcal services are given much greater
importance-and they spend very
much more money than would he

In military aviation the conclusion
is that Americans are taken up with
the sport Side"-speed and maneu-
vering at low attitudes The cam
paign of Col. Mitchell is attributed to
his understa nding the disadva ntages
of such a situation.
For naval aviation. it's importance
actually. and its greater need to the
United States are recognized. and it
is explained by NJ. Bouche with de
tails and figures. Only one remark
is made: "American naval aviation is
already important. and it IS destined
TO be developed more and more"
For postal aviation. until now IL
has been worked with planes OF the
war and liberty motors-of which
there are 10000 in stock" Americans

opinion of French experts concerning
these motors-''as improved, they are

Some of the technical remarks are
of equal interest TO Americans who d.
not pretend To technical knowledge

ing aside what used to be called

american aviation owes the AL
vance which it is beginning 10 gain
over us to it's motors. The superiority
of planes is mechanical only-but the
superiority beyond dispute Is in the

About 20 acres are leased to the
Army for a period of 10 years, at
an annual rental of 81 year, with
the provision that the field must be
always available to civil and CONNER
cial pilots. according to an account
by Porter Adams in the Aeronautical
Review.
when the State Legislature passed
the bill authorizing the establishment
of the port land the lea asing of the
land to the Government it carried
with il an appropriation of $35 900 for
the construction of runways and the
erection of two National Guard
hangers. This was, of course, not suf-
ficient to complete the work. so the
Boston Chamber of Commerce raised
$4,000 by public subscription and
the City of Boston donated improve
ments valued at approximately 81 ,000,"
says Mr. Porter in his article.
with this start the Army erected
two standard hangers valued at ap-
proximately s25, 900 each, and in addi-
ton maintains at the airport equip
ment to the value OF 100000, which
is available to the organized reserves.
''In 1924 the Federal Government
expended s. .000 for the improvement
of the runways. and in 1925 spent
81 900 additional and the Stat

which. in proportion, were higher
than any to be experienced at sea.
The highest ocean waves recorded
have been AZ feet, while il was esti-
mated that in the scale Of his sea

These waves nearly swamDed the

which the weight of the water holds
firmly in place. 1t would take ire
mendous force to drag one of these
disks up through the water. and it is
calculated that no wave would have
the strength to do this. At any rate,
it would be a slow process. and wave
is 4 matter of few seconds. BY the
time the disks on one side could be
even slightly displaced. the waves
causing the displacement would have
passed. and others would be operat-

the buoys in turn anchored to the
ocean bottom. Then the surface con-
nection during a storm will place no
tension on the anchor lines. which
will be as much as 3 miles long,
and may hang loose while the tugging
is taking place on the buoys above.
Mr. Armstrong. who has expert
mented with aviation since he was 16
wears old. is convinced that the COM
me-cial utility of the airplane depends
no. upon greater cruising radius for
individual planes but upon the utlllZa-
ton of short flight routes. But the
oceans here presented the greatest
difficulty SO in 1916 Mr.. Armstrong
began working on the idea of a sta
:ion at which airplanes could land in
