A CERTAIN METHOD OF popuLARIzrSe AVIATION
CORPUS Christi Caller)

OoAANAl
People have been talking about ways and mean, of
making aviation popular. The ~airplsne industry has
suggested the best matchmaking planes available to
the purchaser on the instsllment plan.
The automobile remained a luxury 80 long Is the
buyer had to lay down, in cold cash or its equivalent,
the purchase price of the car. When a system was de-
veloped whereby the prospective customer could pay !
hundred or so dollars down and the remainder il
easy" payments, the automobile industry picked up
amazingly-so amazingly that the builders have been
able to turn out constantly bettcred products al con
sistently reduced prices.
Today it is estimated by one great finance corpora.
ton that between So and 90 per cent Of the motor cars
sold are sold on the installment plan.
The airplane industry seems TO be going through
esxactly the same process. A good plane. as planes 20
today, costs = good deal Of money. Ten or twelve
thousand dollars arc required for the purchase Of a
ship Of the cabin type. Naturally, comparatively few
Of them are sold. One company has placed on the mar
kct a small cabin-type plane which sells for consider
ably under three thousand dollars.
Some interesting questions will arise when sirplanes
are offered on the installment pima. There will be the
question Of the competence Of the would-be buyer to
operate the plane-for. obviously. il he isn't competent,
the finance company will pay dearly for insurance
There will be the question cf registration. But all
those questions can be solved.
when the airplsne manufacturing industry adopts
the instsllment plan Of selling its products. production
will double and treble and quadruple. Better planes
will be made. and they will sell for the lower prices
made possible by quantity production. Increased pro-
duction. likewise. viii encourage he building Of sdc-
quate sirports and the development Of airways-all Or
which will mean the populsrising of aviation, and its
application to everyday use.

Water Transport and
National Defense

~ future prosperity of the United States lies in
n aeNeiepmcnt Of wafer and rail transport was tn.
opinion expressed by T.. =. Loree. president VI the Nex
~, Ohamoer Of Commerce, in an address before
that body last week.
o'""cntihS upon the transportation systems Of the
country mr. Lorcc sid that not only should decp
waterways be provided 70 bring ships Of the Great
Lakes to the seaport. but development Of inland and
'oaAsi waters Is also Of paramount Importance.
Inc former railroad mgsnate advocated WATERWAYS
and canals not only for commercial purposes but also
. : = measure for national defense. He asserted that
'he navy should have an inland waterway between
norfolk and Boston. in order to facilitate its move
meht In an emergency. The ocean is the natural home
o. the navy. is should have the advantage of inland
communication" Loree declared. "The federal govern
ment now owns the Cape Cod canal. about eight miles
long, with a navigable depth Of 25 feet; the Chesa-
PesAe and Delaware canal. about Is miles long with a
ravigable depth Of L. feet, while surveys have been
made for a canal across New Jersey, connecting ,he
Delaware and Rattan rivers. 81 miles long nd IL feet
deep with msvnry built for further deepening 70 ~
feet.
1T has therefore. been found practicable. at a rea-
sonable outlay. to provide the inland waterways essen
tai to our primary defense. Work should be con-
stsntly pressed to this end and no year should pass
without substantial progress being made"
This Is a feature of the harbors and waterways
which il seldom considered. and Mr.. Loree's comments
thereon will arouse considerable interest. The Ameri-
can people arc prone to consider merely the CONNER
eial value of these projects, and while this is the es-
sential purpose Of such ports and waterways, their
value in connection with national defense is too great
10 be overlooked. The time may never come when their
value in this respect may be proved. and the American
people sincerely hope il never will. but when the
emergency does exist there can be no question they
will prove an important factor in defense plans.
Development or inland and coastal waters, and the
ports. especially on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, is
fully as necessary in connection with nation defense
IS Is the development Of the railway systems. The
value Of these projects in this connection should be
thoroughly investigated by the government experts and
be given due consideration in future plans.

For the coast artillery corps the outstanding fea-
tures of the fiscal year 1928 have becn as follows:
Resumption Of seacoast artillery battle practices n
the United States; improved tactical training incident
10 concentrations on both east and west coasts; a gen
eral improvement in artillery technique; standsrdiza-
tion Of artillery practice methods, including the scor-
ing system. and the preparation of q training regula-
ton covering this subject; the adoption Of a new sys-
tenn for controller submarine mines; revision of de-
fensive sea area plans; a rapid advance toward stan
dardization Of sound ranging equipment and anti-air-
craft gun equipment. and hopeful progress toward solv-
ing the problem Of anti-aircraft machine gun fire At
the longer ranges; initiation Of studies for the anti
aircraft defense Of important localities; and an in
creased strain upon personnel generally to maintain
high standards Of training and appearance. and at the
sane time to care for the valuable installations in their
charge.
With the issue of G. o. %, W. D. 1927, the missions
OF the coast artillery have been logically defined and
the embarrassments to instruction and to preparation
OF training regulations removed. Responsibility for
heavy trench mortars has been transferred to the field
artillery. leaving the coast artillery charged only with
the development and use Of weapons intended for fire
ON moving targets naval or sir) and Of the auxiliaries
necessary for control Of such fire.
Considering the various conditions coast artillery
organizations serve under in our overseas and CONT
mental garrisons. progress in training Of all unhs dur
ing the year has been praisevcrthy.
