At $50 o'clock this morning the
crowd at Wheeler Field had reached
greater proportions than that which
greeted Lieutenants Maitland and
Hegenberger. It was estimated that
more than 500 automobiles had
parked in the prepared area east of
the flying field. The crowd num-
bered more than 5000 as the grand
stands began to fill.

WARNS LEAGUE
ON TRUSTS

GENEVA, May 6.--American dele.
gates took a hand in the League
of Nations economic conference
today and warned Europe against
the dangers of monopoly and ex.
ploitation.
Henry M. Robinson speaking on
behalf of the American delegation
suggested adroitly that the Euro
peans may be starting on the wrong
track by their proposals for the
Capitalization" of industry, through
the establishment Of virtual trusts.
''If not properly directed -catteliza-
ton may lead in the false direction
at first taken by some American
trusts toward monopoly and exploita.
tion," said Robinson.
The principal factors in American
prosperity heard here are the large
purchasing power Of the individual
citizen, the reduction OF prices to
the consumer through improvement
of management and the elimination
of waste.
Robinson stressed the fact that
the American people are opposed
to direct government interference or
participation in private business.
Former Premier Theunis of Bel
GUM, presiding officer of the con.
ference, introduced Robinson and
expressed the sympathy of the con-
ference for the Mississippi flood
sufferers.
