aviation and business conditions gen.
orally would be discussed, no intima-
ton was given of the conversations
between Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Ford.
No indication was given as to Wheth-
er the leasing OF the nitrate and pow
er properties at Muscle Shoals, Ala,
was mentioned.
The visit of Mr. Child was describ-
ed as social and il was said Mr..
Coolidge did not discuss the foreign
situation with him, as Mr.. Child had
been out of the diplomatic service for
two years and recently had been de-
voting his attention to domestic mat
tiers.
Before Mr.. Coolidge left Washing
ton it was arranged for Mr. Ford to
visit him in the Adirondacks and it
was said that in discussing aviation
the president desired especially to
learn what progress the Ford inter
ests were making in developing COM
mercial aviation and what success
had been achieved by them in the
construction of a large number of
planes, plans for which were drawn
last spring -
The subject Of commercial aviation
has long been one of deep interest TO
the president who sees in that field
larg possibilities for the future of
practical flying in this country. The
importance of that branch of flying
wass emphasized also by the pres-
dents air board which under the
craftsmanship of Dwight Morrow, of
New York, investigated aviation in
the United States a year ago as a
result of the charges made against
the army and navy air services by
Colonel William Mitchell
Government assistance in developing
commercial aviation has been provid-
ed by legislation which grew out of
the report of the air board but the
appointment of an assistant secre-
tary of commerce in charge of civil
aeronautics will be delayed for some
time.
Although assistant secretaries in
| charge of aviation for both the army
! and navy have been appointed, it was
/ said today no haste was necessary
| in selecting the commerce depart
| ment official because the immediate
! work confronting that department in
! encoura ging civil aviation does not
! require pressingly at this time the
| services of such an official
The commerce department, 1t was
explained is required first to map out
commercial alrWayS and then PROVIDE
! for marking and lighting them. This
! can be done with present officials,
aided by army and navy advisers.
| while Secretary Hoover, in charge of
the program, an engineer by profes-
sion, has the necessary equipment
for this part of the program.
Mr. Coolidge planned to discuss
business conditions with Mr.. Ford
because of the latters nationwide
interests and connections, which he
felt would give him close view Of
a situation concerning which he has
few reports since he left Washing
ton.
