OVERSEAS FLIGHT
MAY END IN COURT
Capt. Berry Threatens to Ask
for Injunction Unless
Taken Along.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 31.-Capt.
Rene Fonck, French ace, today faced
the possibility that a nonstop trans
atlantic flight for which he had been
preparing might end in court instead
of Paris because of dissensions over
personnel.
Capt. Homer M. Berry, Z. S. A, a
10 per cent stockholder in the back
ing corporation. threatens to ask an
injunction to prevent the flight un-
less he is taken along.
Capt. Fonck has termed Capt. Ber-
ry an outsider, saying that If a third
person were taken he would be a
radio operator or mechanic. Lieut..
Allan P. Snoddy, U. S: A., has second
place on the ship.
Col. Harold E. Hartney, vice presi-
dent of the Argonauts, Inc, the sup
porting company, has declared in IA
vor of Capt. Berry in the controversy.
He has revealed terms of the con-
tract with Capt. Fonck, which says
that if the French ace, employed at
$3.50 a week. should decide upon a
third man. Capt. Berry should be
chosen.
The contract provides that the flight
shall take place this Summer and Col.
Hartney expects it will end Septem-
ber 25, but Capt. Berry holds that the
contract expired yesterday, four
months from the day Capt. Fonck
landed. Col. Hartney also contends
that Capt. Fonck has failed to live
up to his contract in that he did not
provide three motors free of charge.
Capt Berry has been asked to state
his case in writing to the other flight
promoters. Capt. Fonck believes Capt
Berry will not be able to prevent the
flight by litigation.

KLEIN TO STUDY TRADE EFFECT
OF ANTI-U. S. MOOD IN EUR ROPE
Present Volume Leading
Last Year, Commerce
Figures Show.
Director of Bureau Plans
Survey of Future Results
of War Issues.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Recent outbursts of anti-American-
ism in Europe over our war debt
policy have caused some concern in
Washington with regard to their pos
sible effect on the countryS foreign
trade. To survey the situation on the
spot, DR.. julius Klein, director of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce in Secretary Hoover's De-
partment Of Commerce, is sailing to-
morrow for the Old World.
The specific object of his journey is
to confer with the department 25
commercial attaches in the leading
trade centers of the continent. They
will be in position to give him up-to-
date information as to what extent,
if any, charges of American "Shy
lockism' have impaired our export
business. Any disadvantageous reac-
ton would not have manifested itself
as yet. DR.. Klein means to find out
if the future holds any menace in that
direction.
The Summer of 1925, despite many
adverse conditions. finds American
trade with Europe at the peak. EX-
ports in general, including both raw
materials and manufactured wares,
are running about II per cent greater
in volume than in 1925, though the
cash value, owing to price recessions
in leading export articles, like cotton,
is not as big as last year.
Europe Buying More.
The gratifying thing about the ex-
listing trade situation is that Europe
is steadily buying more and more of
our manufactured goods-Stuff of the
81.
stiff domestic competition abroad,
rather than our raw materials, like
cotton, copper and agricultural prod
use, in which we enjoy more or less
of monopoly Our manufactures are
running about Z per cent heavier in
export to Europe than in Midsummer,
1925.
But these satisfactory conditions
were in progress before the outcry
against the Coolidge administration
debt program set in, in France and in
Great Britain. Secretary HOOVerS
foreign trade SleuthS are not inclined
to see things in q pesSimistic light as
q result of the "Shylock" accusation.
European consumers who buy Ameri-
can-made goods don't do so, and never
have done So out of any love for the
United States and it's people. They
purchase our machinery, our type
writer's, our office appliances and a
vast host of our manufactured spe-
cialties-even Swiss cheese" made
in Pennsylvania-beca the product
is good and the price attractive. A
British housewife doesn't hesitate to
buy California prunes if they look as
nice as. and are selling cheaper than,
Australian prunes.
Yet the psychological effect of the
anti-American crusade on debts may
turn out to contain dynamite, II 1t
keeps up long enough. If, for IN
stance, the Washington Government,
as it is certain to do, turns down

than ever.
Will Sound Out Situation.
Our business men are compelled to
contemplate the possibility that when
their European representatives seek
orders the path may not be as pleas
ant a one for them to tread as it has
been. DIR. Klein, who will sound out
the situation all the way from the
northeastern corner of Europe to the
Golden Horn at ConStantinople, will
have his ears and eyes open to ascer-
tain what the future holds in store in
this particular respect.
Americas two banner industries
nowadays can be called the automO
bile and the radio industries. Radio
in the United States is a trade repre-
senting $500, 900 a year. Our radio
manufacturers, of course, dominate
the home market and now they are
reaching out for the foreign market
in Europe South America and the
Far East. DR.. Klein means to give
special attention to the question of
the purchasing possibilities of Europe
for our motor cars and for our radio
apparatus. Broadcasting is becom-
ing as much of a craze in foreign
parts as it long has been in the United
ested in radio. China is acquiring the
habit. Our radio people look for big
business in the Orient.
Not long ago Secretary Hoover was
quoted as saying that the trade
mark made in America" on our
manufactured goods was more of a
drawback than an advantage. That
isn't quite what he said or meant.
What Hoover had in mind was the
undesira bility of our patterning after
the British post office department,
which stamps most of it's foreign mail
with post-mark slogan reading,
British Goods Are Best" The Sec
retary of Commerce opposed any such
advertising stunt" by our Post Office
Department. Several other nations
have bitterly protested the British
post mark, alleging it is a violation
of the rules Of the International Postal
Union. Made in America" as trade
mark on goods themselves, has not
become q handicap. 1t remains a sign
Of excellence.
