FLIGHT GIVES
new IMPETUS TO
AIR MAIL LINES
Cabinet Committee Approves
Bill For Service to For
eign Countries

Washington, Dec. 17.-(AP)-Im.
petus to the movement for CONNER
cial air lines connecting the United
States with Central and South Amer
ica has been noted by government
officials as a result Of Colonel Lind
bergh's flight to Mexico City and his
projected flights t. the Central
American republics.
Colonel Lindbergh's pioneering
work falls in line with President
Coolidge's comment in his message to
congress, which expressed his desire
to have the United States take a
leading pant in international air
mail.
The American government has
given its approval for connecting
link Of airways through action of the
postoffice, state, war, navy and COM
merce departments. This committee
which is to report to the president,
has approved q bill, already intro
dueed in both houses of congress,
providing for governmental partici-
patton in such enterprises through
award of 1O-year contracts for carry
ing the mails to foreign countries
and insular possessions. This legis.
lation would provide for payment on
: pound or mile basis, but the rate
Of payment shall not exceed 81 per
mile.
Postmaster General New and air
mail service officials are anxious to
enter into contracts just as soon as
the necessary legislation has been
enacted.

DEFINITE TASK
FOR GERMANY
Is SUGGESTED
Nation Must Be Put t0n it,
Own Before Reparations
Problem Is Solved

Berlin, Dec. 17.-(P)-Thc sug-
gestion that Germany be given q
definite task to perform without
foreign supervision is made in the
annual report Of s. Parker Gilbert,
American agent-general for repara-
tiOns, published today.
1--WE are still in q testing period"
Gilbert concludes. land further ex-
perience is needed before it will be
possible to form the necessary
judgments Of the reparations prob
lem. But confidence in general is
already restored and as time goes
on practical experiences accumulate.
1T is becoming always clearer
that neither the reparations problem
nor other dependent problems will
be finally solved until Germany is
given a definite task to perform on
her own responsibility. without
foreign supervision, and without
transfer projections"
The report stresses that German
commerce and industry have been
"morc active In recent months than
at any time since stabilization."
This condition IL not confined
"to any particular branch but 10
widely extended with remarkably
uniform effects upon production,
distribution, employment and con-
sumption"
The priority of reparations over
German external loans is empha-
sized in the report.
