chairman of Thompson, appointed a
nominating committee, consisting of
Mrs. Parker of Fabyan, Mrs. William

icepted. The officers elected were as
follows: Vice chairman, Thompson

and interesting features. Miss Byrne
of Putnam after a short speech intro
duced the speaker of the afternoon,
Senator Merritt. In her introduc-
ton Miss Byrne said Senator Mer-
rift would furnish the inspiration of
the occasion, which she certainly did
in an address which was all toe shot

ment of any possible disputes in
the Western hemisphere due to
come before the sixth Pan-Ameri.
can conference today, discussion
was still conferred upon the ac-
ceptance by the United States of
the proposal to outlaw aggressive
war in the new world.
Overshadowing every other mea.
sure before the conference and
coming at a moment when the de-
liberations of the commission of
International Law threatened to
collapse into nothingness, the
statement of the United States
stand was made dramatically by
former Secretary of State Charles
E, Hughes.
Emphatically endorsing the reso-
lutions submitted by Mexico "that
all aggression be considered illegal
and therefore prohibited" Hughes
declared in part:
1T is my happy privilege to say
for the United States of America
that we would join. most heartily
in declaration that there shall
be no war OF aggression in America.
IT desire to show you the sincere
cooperation Of the United States
which is opposed to any act of
aggression; which desires to see
force eliminated from this hemis-
phere; which is seeking nothing
but the good order, the indepen-
dence and the prosperity of all
the American States
Tremendous applause followed
Hughes address. The prevailing
view of the delegate later was that
the speech was the most important
yet delivered at the conference.

LET. Indy FLY,
MITCHELL CRY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-"Let Lind
bergh alone"
This was the blunt suggestion or
Gen. William Mitchell, former as
sistant chief of the United States
Army air service, when asked today
to comment upon the controversy
that has arisen over the question:
SHOULD Colonel Lindbergh avoid
making long hazardous flights In
his zeal to promote aviation and,
instead, play safe and not endanger
his life-so precious to his coun-
try?"
Secretary OF War Dwight F. Davis
has advocated the safer policy.
Davis views have caused wide
spread comment in this country
and abroad and the question still
Is being debated.
General Mitchell, who a few years
ago was known as the stormy
PetreP' of the air service and who
was court-martialed for criticising
the Arrny's air policies, did not
beat about the bush In stating his
position.
Best Judge Himself
Colonel Iindbergh should not
be, interfered with in anything he
deems just TO do, said General
Mitchell. His success has been
entirely due to his own efforts. IL
the Administration, the bureaus or
even Congress. as at present con-
stituted, should have attempted to
tell him what to do, noti1ng what
ever would have been the result.
1.-THE Administration and the legis.
lature must keep their hands of
our private citizens in aviation. They
have completely ruined our national
aviation so that we have no military
aviation, no regular passenger air
lines, and have lost practically every
flying record in. the world.
Let Lindbergh alone.
Mitchell is now head of a national
aviation school which is in the
course of organization in Washing
ton.
F'renchmen for Him
Capt. Dieudonne Costes and Lieut.,
Comdr. Joseph Lebrix, the French
transatlantic f1iers, who Travelled
$4,000 miles in a far-flung zig-zc
course over four continents in a
flight from Paris to New York. and
who are now being entertained in
New York, both expressed the
opinion that Lindbergh should, by
all means. continue to fly.
why, it would break Lindbsrgh's
heart if he couldn't soar the skies,
wherever he pleased, in his beloved
Spirit of st. Louis" said Lebrix.
''He is like any other aviator--he
must get up into the air. It's his
life work. To stay on, the ground,
or to have his flying restricted to
small hops, would crush a man OF
Lindbergh's type.
Neither Costes nor myself think
that flying is dangerous. We feel
perfectly safe and at home in tie
air, even when making long jumps
over water. I am sure Lindbergh
must feel the same way. Flying
isn't dangerous-at any rate, not to
the men who know their business.
'sLindbergh has more than mere
daring. He has courage and
judgment. He has wonderful air
instinct. If anyone is capable Of
making experimental flights that
have for their. object the advance
ment of the science of aviation,
Lindbergh is. And I don't believe
