AIR SECRETARIES PLAN
 CONFERENCES SHORTLY
VIII Follow Coolidge's Suggestion To Probe Transatlantic Flight
 Attempts

Washington. Sept. 15 Pl-The three lair" secretaries of the gov srnment today planned a conference to commence consideration of Presi- dent Coolidge's suggestion for an investigation into transoceanic flying in land airplanes which has result ed recently in numerous fatalities.
 Although the government officials generally have regarded that gov ernment regulation of such flights could not be of any great value, the cabinet officials, composed of As sistant Secretaries MacCracken, Warner and Davison in charge of aviation respectively in the con- merce, navy and war departments, at their scheduled meeting had be- fore them as one proposal whether legislative regulation would be prac- ticable. The president Is understood to have in mind the study of legis- lation in his suggestion for the in- quiry into the flights.
 The proposal of MT. Coolidge for a study of the equipment needs and scientific precautionary methods necessary for planes embarking on oceanic flights was considered one of the major subjects before the three air officials. The question of multiple motored engines, together with adequate radio equipment, as safety precautions. also had been suggested by the president for the inquiry.

 Madame Nungessor then asked. bit timidly perhaps, if she might embrace her visitor. The mayor, as moved as she. bent tcnderly over and with tears in his eyes kissed her gently.
 Later Madame Nungess"r. with pride shining from her eyes, showed the mayor through the workroom where her son had planned his great adventure which ended so fragically and showed Walker sou Tonirs of her sons work.
 As the guest of 400 members of the American club in Paris at a luncheon. the mayor strnck serious note in an otherwise light and witty speech, declaring:
 As the son Of an immigrant who has rlson 10 be mayor of the great est city Of the western continent, I want to say that there IS no greater honor than being an American citi- zen. I have no use for the loo per cent American at home who is only a one per cent American when he goes abroad, Some Of them hold government offices The American Tho cannot look in the eyes of the 30. .000 legionnaires coming 10 Paris in the next 4S hours. who is not proud 10 belong to a nation from which 30000 men now sleep under the soil ot France, is not the kind of Am erican that 1 have any use for.

 Mayor Walker, for a starter. ad- dressed the assembled Americans as yellow refugees from the eigh- teenth amendment" He declared that he had been prohibitionist un- til noon today since the night before. He then paid tribute to Americans he had met in London, Berlin and Paris who gave the characteristic handshake that all New Workers love-"
 'I came 10 Europe not for q va cation myself, but to give the tax payers at home d vacation. and I am going back with greater devotion for New York than when I came away" the mayor said.
 The mayor just before conclud- ing, remarked: T see every one here with q satisfied look and all seem happy and content. Maybe there is need of another amendment to the American constitution 10 get the same look Of satisfaction on the faces of New Workers"

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. , (P) Organization politics. temporarily eclipsed by the annual parade of veterans and the camp fire" session yesterday, tared anew on the con- vention floor today as the first busi ness session of the G. A. E. national cncampment opened,
 Worn and tired after marching for a mile under d sweltarlng sun yes terday afternoon the 1.534 veterans in attendance at the cncampment came to the convention hall this morning to name one of their sroEp for the office of commander in chief.
 Resolutions, among them 2 peti- ton by the Mclean Post, No. l6, Reading, Pennsylvania. asking that Memorial Day observance be given over by the thinning ranks of the G. A. R. into the hands of patriotic organizations that have long assisted them, will be debated by the dele gates. The petition IS undcrSt ood to be in protest against the move ment to turn Memorial Day over to the American Legion, which the Me Lean Post feels is "untair' 10 the other veterans organizations. A resolution calling for an increase in pensions has been introduced by Granville Morse of Wreutham, Mass.
 Commander-in-C Chief Frank A. Walsh, speaking at the first busi- ness session of the enCanpmont to- day asked that the National Tribune, a publication linking itself with the Grand Army of the Republic. make an accounting for $23,00O rccOm- mcnded for pension work,

He added that the time has come for the veterans organization to "go on record as d'sClaiming any official relation or connection with the publication"

FRANCE DEMANDS
 RECIPROCITY IN
 TARIFF QUESTION
NContmued From First Page)

negotiate commercial treaty be- tween the two countries on q most taVorcd-nation clause basis may be followed by similar rejection in Washington of French sugge stions for negotiation Of 4 reciprocal treaty arrangement
 on the basis of press accounts as 10 what the French reply contained. officials took a gloomy view of the possibility of adjusting differences over the new French tariff schedules at any carly date.
 Congress Has Power.
 If the French communication is a demand that the treaty negotia- lions be based upon complete reel procity. indications are that the Washington government will reply that it has no authority 10 negotiate tariff schedules which are fixed by congress. The only authority grant d by the tariff act is for nogotia- ton Of commercial treaties on the most-tavorcd-n basis. This ''Ho'H ll oN l'I'S lldl tue tHittI i9latt'o would be granted the same treat mont granted any other nation.
 Whether inc Washington govern ment might invoke the powers con t"rrcd on in" preside nt by the tariff act tO impose penalty duties up 10 fifty per cent upon goods imported from those countries which practice tariff discrimination against the United States. or in the event of continued discrimination,to place an ahSolut" cnn1rgo against such im- portatons officials did not care to predict. Ii vas said however. that the new French tariff schedules were discriminatory against the United States and that France alone has discriminatory duties of this character which apply 10 American goods.
 Thrcc Treaties In Making
 The Washington government has three mo~t-favored- nation conner cial treaties in operation. including that with Germany. Two other such treaties are awaiting ratification and commercial relations with q dozen ether countries are conducted under temporary understanding which also omhody the most-favorcd-na ,ion clause.
 The French proposal to negotiate a commercial treaty on the basis or reciprocity which implies the grant ing Of tariff concessions in particu- lar commodities on each side would mean, according 10 Washington off Cials. that all other nations which have most favored nation under standings with the United states Would enjoy automatically any low tariff rates granted 10 France.
 The effect of such a development, it is pointed out, would therefore be to lower by treaty tariff schedules fixed hy congress and state depart ment officials hold that they have TO warrant of law to make such notifications of the schedules estab- lished by the tariff act itself.
