FOrds Favor Long Flights

DETROIT, Feb. 16.-Long non.
stop flights are decidedly contribut.
ing to the progress Of aviation, in
the opinion of Henry Ford and his
son, Edsel. it was revealed by Eddie
.Stinson. noted pilot, today.
Stinson said he and the Fords
discussed the plan of Secretary of
War Dwight F. Davis to have Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh discontinue
his long flights. The Fords, ac.
cording to Stinson, made the fol
lowing statement:
THE pilots making these long
flights are flying the best machines.
They understand the machines and
are always able to land them safely
apparently Ford referred to trips
over land) Long flights have been
of a distinct aid to aviation. They
have helped to carry it from the
experimental stage"

and the modest way in which he
meets triumphs. He is one of about
six aviators in the world who never
take risks.
"Lindberghs power for prelim-
mary organization is such that
there is no more risk in his flying
to Mexico than l would incur in
crossing Picadilly every day. He is

BERLIN, Feb. Is. Herman
Koehl, chief of the unsuccessful
Junkers transatlantic expedition in
1927 and Germany's "best bet" for
a transatlantic flight this year. be-
lieves that Lindbergh should be al
lowed to use his own judgment as
to whether to continue flying. He
pointed out that risks must be
taken or the cause of aviation would
never be advanced. He said:
"Lindbergh's life is the most
valuable in the world for avia ton,

to risk it,"

terials-nearly all Latin American ex-
ports are Of this claSS-for sale and
consumption in the United States.
The United Fruit Company, for in
stance. has a 100000 900 investment
in Central and South America and in
creasing buying power in its operating
field by paying out salaries and
wages up to nearly $25 100000 a year.
Other American companies dig out
half the worlds copper supply IN
Latin American countries. Then
there is the combination OF both
types, buying raw material abroad and
selling the finished product both at
home and in foreign markets. Stand
ard Oil. with its foreign investment OF
nearly 100000 is an example.
American public utilities are also
branching out. through foreign SUBJ

a l30,000,000 investment in l8 for
eign countries. Through controlled
and associated systems it operates ma
tional, district or municipal systems
in Mexico. Chile, Porto Rico, Cuba,
Montevideo, Buenos Aires and one Of
the Brazilian states.
There are many other types of our
business operating abroad-Some con-
Germs find it advisable to produce in
the country of consumption, retail
store corporations duplicate their en-
tire chain systems in other lands,
banks work through foreign branches
and construction companies send men,
machinery and capital abroad to do
big jobs for other nationals.
Problems of Future
Obviously, our business men have
not been asleep. One does not SO Of
ten hear the complaint of few years
ago that We were losing South Ameri-
can business because of our inef-
ficiency or our ability to understand
the Latins
II doubtless is true that many OPP
portunities for American capital and
business enterprise are being over
looked-that We may not have caught
up yet with Latin American buying
power.
But the problem OF future expan-
sion, suggested at the outset of this
article. was noted by Hoover in his
address last year to the Third Pan
American Commercial Conference in
Washington. when he said:
Our commerce runs free within
those limits OF domestic policies by
which We design to improve the eco
nomic prosperity OF each Of our in
dividual countries. and it is upon the
prosperity Of each country that we
must build foreign trade.
We realize from an economic point
Of view. all of us, that our foreign
trade expands simply in ratio to the
internal prosperity of each Of our ma
tons. Enlarging standards of living,
the growth OF wealth, the growth of
industry, demand constantly enlarg-
ing amounts OF imported goods of
these types which we cannot ourselves
produce, and thus grows our foreign
trade. We gain nothing from the
poverty of others. We gain everything
from their prosperity
II ought to be said that fuller rec
ignition of this fact was what
changed our Mexican methods when
Ambassador Sheffield was replaced
by Dwight Morrow 1t is likely to be
the keynote Of Hoover's Latin-Ameri-
can policy.

IN NEW YORK

New York. Dec o4-Those myster-
ious figures Of the upper underworld,
who wear their shirt fronts as stiff
as any clubman. can now be found
among those present at the dressy
Soirees which mark the winter OPEN
ings of Broadway's more frolicsome
night resorts.
The incongruities of an average
crowd to be found at such events
could be properly satirized only by
some modern Gilbert and Sullivan.
Celebrities and near celebrities are
on hand. as Of yore. Lovely chorines
from the latest music show hit come
parading in upon the arms of form
ally dressed young spenders. Authors
and gangsters and song writer's and
song pluggers and playwrights and
actors and colunnists find their way
to crowded tables. Huge floral dis
plays clog the Railways and entrances.
Wreaths and set pieces announce that
"the boys" or the gang" wish so
and-So' good luck.
But at the ringside. as they now
call the oval of tables about the little
dance floors, spawns new growth
that has rotted since racketeering
came into vogue. Scattered among
the tables are the men of the upper
underworld-the men whose names
get into print when an Arnold Roth
stein is murdered; the men who are
called in by the police when Roth
stein mystery is under consideration;
the men who have come to WELD such
power in police politics that they mer-

recent huge seizure of drugs that
came directly out Of data secured by
federal authorities from the effects of
the late Rothstein.
At one OF the ultra-ultra night club
openings the other evening someone
pointed out a number of men whose
names have figured in the Rothstein
case. And a number of others whose
names will one day figure in other
events of the racketeering clans.
And someone else pointed out de-
tectives. CARRIED in the latest cut eve
ming clothes, sitting about at tables
and apparently spending a very en-
joyable evening with their beautifully
dressed companions. And someone
else pointed out a few members Of
the narcotic squad. also in evening
regalia-all with an eye to what the
boys OF the upper underworld are up
to.
To a stranger, like myself, wander
ing in-such a scene had the spell of
the utterly fantastic, with a sinister
undercurrent running just below the
festivities.
Here is one situation which, to date,
the movies have not exaggerated.
Quite aware that nothing would
happen-at least that night-one feels
that anything could happen. What
with room crowded with beauty and
luxury. with names known from one
end Of the land to the other. with gay
young ladies Of the faster social sets,
with men of wealth and reputation;
what with detectives in evening
Clothes, and racketeers in evening
clothes, and other racketeers with
strikingly pretty girls: what with Of
ficers OF the narcotic squad seemingly
playing the role of disinterested
guests and what with the knowledge
that one class must have of the other
all the balloons in the world, all the
jazz music and all the gayly stepping
chorineS cannot erase the sense Of
brewing drama.
And, am told. the men who oper-
ate the festive night resorts would not
dare to offend their sinister guests.
Mayhap these very guests may have
money invested-and there's always
the chance OF revenge when offense is
given.

~ Latin AmericaNZaSt

In Route With Hoover In Latin
America - Further important extern
sions of our trade with Latin Amer
ica-one OF tho main ultimate ojects
of President ELECT Hoover's tour-are
dependent upon the domestic develop
nent Of these countries
1t Is not enough to send high-prcs-
sure statesmen and make elaborate adj
vertising campaigns. First purchas-
ing power must be increased and then
an educated desire for higher living
standards and new luxuries developed
Internal progress toward domestic
prosperity may be. OF course, and Of
en is, accelerated by proper use Of
foreign capital.
Prosperity and Trade
The great increase Of our Latin
American trade In the past Is years
nas been possible because the nations
which have bought from us have first
made themselves more prosperous by
applying intensive. scientific meth
DDS to agriculture and mining and de-
veloping their domestic manufac-
lures. That was bound to cause
great advance in foreign trade. more
domestic interchange Of goods and
better sterilization OF governments
and currency.
Most Of the republics in question are
topheavy with agriculture. AS land
values and labor costs rise. less en-
phasis probably will be placed on the
production of foodstuffs and raw ma
ter:als for exports. At the same time
there will be greater diversification
of domestic industries. with more do
nestle commerce all through the
hemisphere. Already, for instance,
Brazil has come to the point where
she consumes most of her own sugar,
tobacco and cotton. Domestic manu-
featuring industries in Latin America
are bound to supply larger share Of
the everyday necessities Of the peo-
ole, with the demand for our exports
increasing the while.
AS this Is one Of number OF stor-
les written along Hoover's line Of
march and is designed to sketch the
situation In general terms before re-
cording observations in individual
countries. it may be we'll to classify
the several varieties of trade interest
which link us with these nations from
the standpoint Of American business
concerns.
First, there is the American manu-
featuring company which buys or pro-
duces most of its raw materials In the
United States and turns out a more
or less finished product for export
sale. Ford or General Motors has an
overseas plant equipment and inven-
tory investment Of 5000, 900 and
payroll of $4,000 employees abroad.
with subsidiary companies over the
world. In addition to its branch Of
fices it has some 20 foreign assembly
plants and warehouses.
Movie Industry
Another pure example OF this type
is our movie industry. which produces
80 per cent of the worlds amusement
films. with something like 25 per
cent of its income drawn from other
countries In addition to foreign sub
salaries and distribution offices.
American movie magnates own or
manage many foreign theater proper
ties Similarly General Electric and
Westinghouse are predominant in the
worlds electrical equipment supply
field.
Another type Of foreign business is
