received in the name of the American
people, his own countrymen, by Presi-
dent Coolidge, who will decorate him
for his marvellous achievement in the
cause of aerial science.
This location for the public recep-
tion was chosen because it was con.
sidered the one place in the Capital
City, where the most people could

Before leaving for the flood area,
probably tomorrow evening, Mr.. Hoo
yer hopes TO have seen perfected a
farm finance program that will as
some crops before the present grow
ing season is over.
Preliminary plans to seek assist
ance of the country's financial insti.
tutions and business houses for the
Souths agricultural credit program
were being worked out at the execu.
tive conference in the Chamber of
Commerce Building.
Tomorrow many of Americas repre-
sentative business leaders will attend
a general farm relief conference at
the chambers headquarters at the in
vitation of Lewis Z. Pierson, president
VI tue CLdIllUtIs
Acting as Liaison Body.
The attitude of the Government and
of the Chamber of Commerce is under
stood to be that the actual operation
of the credit machinery, to be set up
under their joint guidance, must be
vested in the business. industrial and
banking interests themselves. The
Chamber of Commerce. it is pointed
out. is acting as sort of a liaison body
between the Federal authorities and
private capital.
Secretary Hoover is seeking to have
the country at large extend enough
credit to the Mississippi Valley plant
ers to double the capital of $1.75O.000
already pledged by business men of
the stricken States. This will provide
a loan organization with a total capi-
talization of $3,500000 and loan
facilities ranging up to $4,000, 900. it
is stated.
President Coolidge has written to
President Pierson of the United States
Chamber of Commerce and requested
cooperation of his organization in
effecting this program, and the cham
Der, in reply, has demonstrated it's
willingness to aid by calling the series
of conferences today and tomorrow.

LINDBERGH REGRETS MISSING

Believes Europe Is Well
Ahead of United States in
Aviation Work.
Predicts Greater Things Here
With Aid of Financiers,
However.
BY CHARLES A. LINDBERGH.

BY Cable to The Star and New York Times
LONDON, June 2,--One keen disap.
pointment of my European expert
ences has been the inability to go all
over Europe to study the latest de-
velopments in aviation. There is no
doubt that the United States has a
good deal TO learn about aviation from
Europe. Military aeronautics have,
as every one knows, been more largely
developed over here than at home, and
Cne glance at any chart of Europe s
air lines shows that we are well be-
hind in the extent of commercial
aviation.
l have observed that this advance
really owes it's origin to Europe haV-
ing developed wartime aviation much
more successfully than we did. There
is no DENYING they did that. Then,
from the start, government encourage
ment of aviation, both military and
commercial, has enabled Europe to
keep the lead over us. Over here no
sooner does a development in aviation
come along than government depart
ments take hold of it and push it
quickly and rather efficiently.
We do not get that sort Of action in
the United States.
Flying Not Subsidized Here.
But this very system of subsidies,
which on the one hand is the great
strength of European aviation, seems
To me to constitute also an inherent
weakness when a comparison or ava
ton prospects is made between the
Old World and the New. We do not
have subsidies. Aviation does not get
