COOLIDGE VIEWS 1 BUSINESS GROWTH
Executive Se3 Prosperity h
 Large Bank Loans

Washington, Jan. ! R-The fact that loans to brokers and dealers held by New York Federal Reserve banks have mounted to 33.s1O.003,- 900, a new record, h not. in the opinion of President Coolidge basis for unfavorable comment. He sees in the figure natural reflection of business growth and finds similar in- dication of continued prosperity in the 1.t per cent increase in postal receipts for last month over Deceln- Der. 1926.
 Broker loans now are about one billion dollars in excess of those re- ported for the first week of last Jan uary and the total is higher than any ever recorded in the history of tho federal reserve system. They have increased steadily for the last IS months and in December advanced by approximately t100,oO0,0O0.
 Mir. Coolidge doesn't ret himself up as an expert on the subject of broker loans and their significance, and is not prepared to render an opinion whether they are out of pro- portion with the country's resources. The figures do appear to him, how ever. to indicate the increase of bus iness in the securities market and do not tonvey to him any unfav0rable impression.
 The presidents information came from the treasury and federal re- serve reports but officers in those establishments declined to comment on the subject.
 Secretary Hoover informed the President that the increase in postal receipts was about the same as the growth in population. The receipts appeared to be evenly scattered over the country and MT. Coolidge be- lieves they constitute . prosperity indicator.

CANTON TURNS TO
U. s. FOR AIRPLANES
Is Trying to Develop Aviation in
China-IhlrChases Commercial
Ship For $4,000.

Canton, China, Nov. LP-The
Canton government which is striving
to develop aviation in south China
has turned to America as source
of supply.
A test flight Of the first American
commercial airplane ever TO be i'm
ported into China has been complet-
ed to the highest satisfaction of the
government authorities that pur-
chased it. The plane is Ryan Ma
honey six passenger brougham land
plane with a Wright whirlwind mo-
to. 1t was purchased for $4,000 by
the Canton government.
The plan is like Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh's Spirit of st. Louis
an may be christened the Spirit Of
Canton.
The American arms embargo pre-
vented the export of airplanes until
six months ago when Consul General
Douglas Jenkins persuaded the state
department TO grant export permits
for American commercial planes.
The Canton government, which
had long desired to purchase Ameri-
can planes. Immediately ordered the
plane which has just been delivered.
1t is thought that airplanes can
be used for propaganda purposes to
make the Chinese airminded. There
fore a fight will be made at an
early date from Canton to Shanghai,
Hankow and Picking.
