PAN AMERICAN
HIGHWAY SEEN
Actual Survey Will Be
Made to Determine
Best Route
(Special to The Herald)

Especial to The Herald)
WASHINGTON, D. c., March %
Announcing the readiness OF the
United States government to coop
crate in a study and survey OF the
proposed Pan American highway
DR.. l.. S. Rowe, director general OF
the Pan American Union, has writ
ten the ENJOYS Of the Latin Amer
lean nations apprising them OF the
passage in the closing hours OF the
last congress of the Colue resolu-
ton authorizing the appropriation
Of $4,000 for that purpose
The passage of this resolution is
the first formal action by the gov
eminent looking toward the reallza-
ton of this project. Under the
terms Of the resolution, the Secre-
tary of state, when the funds are
appropriated, will have at his dis
posal $4,000 to be expended IN
working with the governments OF
Central and South America IN the
first field study Of this project that
has been undertaken since the days
when Henry Clay first preached it.
The effect of the authorization is
to place the United States in the
position of being able to respond
to requests for cooperation, if such
aid is sought by any Of the neigh
boring countries.
This idea was expressed by DR.
Rowe, who also is chairman of the
executive committee Of the Pan
American Confederation for High
way Education, in a letter to the
ambassadors transmitting copies OF
the resolution.
"You will recall wrote DR.. Rowe
that a resolution adopted at the
Sixth International Conference Of
American States requested the Pan
American Union to compile in
formation and prepare projects
showing the most desirable route
for such an Inter-American high
way. Because Of its peculiar fitness
for this work, the governing board
at the session of November 7. 1928
requested the coODeration of the
executive committee Of the Pan
American Confederation for High
way Education in the preparation OF
these projects.
"The Pan American C~onfedera-
ton for Highway Education has al
ready compiled considerable data
on highways in the American re-
nublics. but it is altogether possible
that before a route is selected for
the proposed Pan American high
way an actual survey may be neces-
sarv to determine the most feasible
route.

PERISHABLES
BY AIRPLANE
New An Service For New
York Consumers Is
Proposed

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Win-
ter strawberries from Florida or
orchids from the headwaterS Of the
Amazon may Don be brought by
airplane to New York.
That is, If American airline
operators serving the Florida sub
tropical belt or those whose lines
are soo to penetrate into the in
terror of South America follow the
example Of The airline operators Of
the Netherlands.
Dutch filters are now rushing
winter Strawberries across the
English channel into London,
where they are eaten within twelve
hours after they are picked in the
Westland district of Holland. Flow
ers gathered in the morning in the
Dutch gardens are being distributed
the same day in Great Britain after
a quick trip across the channel by
plane.
The air mail and express lines
which link New York to Florida
building up additional express bust
ness, is the view Of aeronautical
experts Of the department of COM
merce. The same holds true for
the air lines which now reach to
Central America and next month
will be penetrating South America.
The potential tariff is a huge
one, If the records of the Dutch
airline operators offer any crit
erion. During 1928 the Royal
Dutch Air Linels, known as the <.
L. NJ, carried more than Is, 000, 900
pounds of such perishable freight
Is fruits. vegetables and flowers:
the traffic increasing more than 10
per cent over that carried in 1927.
The Dutch air lines are now pre-
pairing to put into service two new
single-motored freight planes with
cargo capacity of 1900 pounds.
Transportation of rare flowers,
fresh fruits and vegetables from
the auction markets in Westlands
to the consigneeS in London, now
takes less than five hours. Ac-
cording to reports to the depart
ment of commerce, the air for
warding of these perishables is
growing in favor with shippers be-
cause of the superior condition in
which the products arrive at their
destination.
The carriage charges are moder-
ate. The Netherlands air lines
charge less than 5 cents per
pound for cut flowers and less than
8 cents per pound for Strawberries
and grapes. The rates to Scandi-
navia will be about IL cents a
pound and to Switzerland less than
10 cents a pound.

EMPORIA, Kans., October 5.-The
fight being waged in Congress by Demo-

tariff bill is regarded by Jouett Shouse,
chairman of the Democratic national
executive committee, as an important
part OF the party'S preparation for the
next congressional and presidential

Speaking at a dinner here attended

has abandoned its "pretense of tariff
revision to benefit the farmer" and is
bent on rushing the tariff bill through
Congress, fearing to go to the country
