NEW YORK. June 10 u.N.sl-
The American Society for Promotion
of Aviation today came back at Sen
ator Hiram Bingham OF Connecticut
with some hot verbal shots at the
latter's declaration against the pro-
posed $40, 0D0,00O appropriation re-
quested for advancement OF more
general use Of the airplane for all
commercial uses.
As carried exclusively in Interna-
tional News Service dispatches two
weeks ago, the Aviation Promotion
Society announced a program where.
by the $40. 1000. 900 to be asked for
yearly. would be used TO purchase
planes for amateur flying clubs
throughout the United states. The
plan corresponds to the expenditure
of money for National Guard organi.
cations in all States.

Subsidy or Graft
THE committing of this country
to the spending of $2,71O, 200, 900 for
naval armament during the last
session of Congress certainly must
be looked upon as the substituting

100000 for dirigibles, admitted by
most competent war authorities to
be of no real military value, must
be looked upon as a subsidy to
certain manufacturers or else as a

The second drink, which I shall

more certain that those who feel
their systems require stimulant,
