TRI- MOTORED IDEA
INvADES new FIELD
Many Medium Sized Cabin Planes
Are Being Equipped With
Three Motors.

The trimotor principle has invaded
the field Of the medium sized cabin
monoplane, such as is widely used In
this country for air taxi work, air line
operation and pleasure flying. Both in
England and In this country small
cabin monoplanes, each powered with
three motors, have appeared. They
resemble, on a smaller scale, the giant
trimotors made by the Ford, Fokker
and keystone companies.
The KroutZer air coach, manufac-
tured in California, uses three small
lie Blond radial motors, as will the
new Prudden all-metal low-wing mono
plane to be built by George H. Prudden
in factory now under construction
at Gambler Field, Atlanta. The Craw-
ford monoplane, built In New England,
uses three 3-cylinder motors Of diIninu-
tive size. The Westland Four, manu-
featured in England, uses three incline,
air-cooled motors of the Cirrus Mark
III type made famous internationally
by their use In the Moth and Avian
planes, which have established light
plane record and which are now made
in this country.
All of these machines can fly on any
two motors and lose altitude but slowly
with only one in operation.

BY the Associated Press.
Airplane travel across the English
Channel between London and Paris has
increased so rapidly that British air.
plane operators are building one of the
worlds largest airplane hangers at
Croydon airport to house so huge air
liners in a single building.
The London consulate has advised
the Department of Commerce Of the
British project in a report on service
between London and Paris since 1t was
established, in 1924.
From 1924 to 1929 cross-channel air.
plane services have flown $3.50, AIS miles
"a distance more than 1855 times
around the world at the Equator-and

More than go per cent of all mail be-
tween London and Iraq, on the Cairo
Basra route Of the Imperial Always, is
carried by air, the second annual report
of the operating company shows. Dur
ing 1928 10000 pounds of mail were
carried between London and Iraq, while
passenger trafic increased "a per cent,

Times in Last Year.

The amazing growth of the aircraft
industry in the last six months is re-
Elected in the semi-annual report of
the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce
to its board of governors. The men,
bership OF the chamber has increased
four times in little more than a year,
the total membership on July l num-
bering 808, 1t was reported.
During the six-month period covered
by the report an export division has
been established by the chamber to
meet the expanding needs of the
American aircraft industry. The divi-
sion Is studying the problems Of pro-
noting aircraft sales abroad and a
committee is working on standard
forms of sales agreement and war
ranty and the" problems of adequate
servicing of planes and engines sold
abroad.
The, commercial airplane manufac-
turers' section has prepared a directory
of sources of supply to aid manufac-
turers in obtaining materials for pro-
duction easily.
The report covers activities of the
chamber in connection with govern
mental regulation, the establishment Of
a uniform accounting system in the
newly developed phases of the aero
nautical industry and the evolution OF
a governmental policy with regard to
helium production.
Advances In the last six months to
raise the standards of flying schools is
lauded in the report, which reviews the
work of the organization to have all
schools rated upon basis OF efficiency
and character.

i. S.-JAPAN TARIFF
WAR SEEN LIKELY
American Exporters View
Proposed Increase in Lumber
Duty as Discriminatory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The possibility of tariff war be-
tween Japan and the United States is
foreseen in official circles here as a re-
suit of the action of the japanese Diet
in approving a new tariff act increas-
ing the rates on lumber.
American lumber interests have
taken the position that the rates are
discriminatory and that the act thus
violates the most favored nation clause
Of the Japanese American treaty OF
commerce Of 1911.
Retaliatory tariffs on raw silk and
tea. the principal japanese inportations
In this country, have been suggested by
American business interests, and this
proposal is receiving serious considera-
ton at the Capitol.
The new japanese tariff does not go
into effect until the cabinet promul-
gates it. Meanwhile, Senators Steiwer
and McNary of Oregon are urging the
State Department to present the COM
plants of this Nation to the Far East
government.
Cabinet Controls Plan.
Considerable interest is shown in the
situation at the State Department. Un-
less the Japanese cabinet does promul-
gate the tariff act by publication in
the Official gazette it will not become
law
Those considering retaliatory tariffs
on silk and tea find themselves in a
good position with Congress about to
convene FOR the consideration of a
tariff revision measure. Japan sold
1884 900 900 worth of raw silk in this
country in 1927 and sSlS,0o0,ooo worth
In 1928.
1t is contended by American lumber
men that tariff on raw silk will be
necessary because they must turn to a
market in this country for the prospec-
tive loss of trade with the Orient.
It is the further contention of the
lumber industry that the increased
tariff rates on lumber proposed in Japan
result from recent important conces-
sions received by the japanese from
Russia on cedars in the Soviet fields and
that the new law will discriminate
against America in favor of Russia.
Lumber valued at $13.709.845 was
shipped to Japan from this country in
1927. The total value of this export
was slightly larger last year
U. S. Attitude Sympathetic.
Reports received in Washington indi-
cate a very sympathetic attitude to the
American viewpoint by the japanese
trade. particularly those interested in
American business, and the prospective
tariff war seems to involve the
Japanese-Soviet trade interests on the
one side and the Japanese Americans on
the other.
Already Japan has considerable
trade balance over this Nation. In 1928
America bought s384,346,l23 worth of
materials from Japan, while that coun-
try's purchases here amounted to $685.
054,175.
The provision in the Japanese Ameri-
can commercial treaty of 1911, which
the State Department is studying in re-
lation to the proposed lumber tariff,
states:
Neither contracting party shall inn
pose any other or higher duties or
charges on the expectation OF any arti-
Gle to the territories of the other than
are or may be payable On the eXporta-
ton of the Ike ARTICLE to any other
foreign country"
