WASHINGTON. June 30.-Three
outstanding senatorial opponents Of
the London naval treaty Sunday
night summed up their objections to
the document in a l0,000-word for
eign relations committee minority
report to the senate.
Disclaiming either militarism or

pact on eleven formal counts.
Their lengthy philippe. mostly
reiteration of previous anti-treaty
arguments made over the radio or

the following principal allegations:
The treaty does not give the
United States real parity with
Great Britain.
1t involves costly building and
will save only half of the $500, 900. 900

1t destroys the 5-5-3 ratio with

The Insurance
Question Box

Address all insurance questions
to Insurance Editor, Indianapolis
Times.
Question-What is a policy?
Answer-A policy is an enforceable legal
contract between the policyholder and the
insurance company. whereby the insurance
company agrees to pay to the person in
sured or to his benefciaries certain
sum OF money at certain time or upon
the occurrence of certain circumstances.
These circumstances may be the attain
ment of given age. the passing Of
given number of years. death. injury by
accident, loss of health. fire. tornado, hail,
automobile collision. theft. burglary, en-
bezzlement. fraud. forgery, plate glass,
breakage. steam boiler explosion. falling
building. train wreck. shipwreck or other
misfortune.
Some form of insurance is available to
cover almost every eventuality. Serious
consideration is being directed to unem-
ployment insurance. The policy is con-
tract which binds the insurance company
irrevocably, but binds the policyholder only
to the payment of premiums.
The policyholder can cancel the con-
tract and withdraw from the agreement
at any time he desires. but the insurance
company must carry out its part of the
bargain in full il the man owning the
policy does his part by paying the pre-
MUM. which is less than the legal rate
of interest on the face value of the policy
in most cases.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-06-30

and had established the Constitu-
ton, the Volstead regime would
have held other terrors for the
struggling little nation.
JEFFERSON, gentle friend of
j truth and temperance, lion
hearted defender of liberty and
freedom, would have been taken di-
rect from the White House to
prison stripes. His wine-bill for two
presidential terms was S10,855 and
a contemporary epicure has said,
THE wine was the best I ever
drank, particularly the champagne,
which was delicious"
The Constitution would have had
to shift for itself, for John Marshall
would not have been there to de-
fend, expound, and interpret it.
Marbury v. Madison never would
have been written.
No, with prohibition in force, the
Constitution would have had to wait
until the coming Of those giants OF
the law and heralds of reform,
Wayne B. Wheeler and Andrew Vol
stead. For both Marshall and Story
would have been in the hoosegow,
serving sentences for direct impor-
tation of alcoholic liquor for bever-
age purposes.
Simply apply the principle of pro-
hibition to the annals of our ma
tional development, and the glorious
recital becomes the gibberish of an
idiot. This thing can not be men
toned in the same breath with lib
erty.
If prohibition is right, then lib
erty is wrong. The two could not
have dwelt together in any era of
our country'S history.

BY CAPTAIN FRANK NJ. HAWKS,
Written for the United Press1


WICHITA, Kan, June 30.-It is
a pleasure to have this opportunity
through the United Press to write
some of my own personal thoughts,
experiences and comments on avia-
ton.
The aviation events of the day
are bound to affect my column and
/ shall try very hard to keep right
UP with them and give the little in
side stories that usually are known
only around the flying fields.
Right now I am as excited as a
young girl about to go to her first
junior prom. The reason being
that I am out here supervising con-
struction of new airplane for my
self. 1t is going to be a beauty.
Graceful lines, powerful motor and
some ideas of my own are incor-
porated in its construction.
When it is all finished and I
have tested it out I hope to make
a series of cross country flights
which 1 believe will be for the adj
vancement of aviation.
Mourns for Snyder
During the years that I have
been flying I have been developing
certain ideas and plans. With this
ship I hope to find out if my ideas
have been correct. If they are,
then they will help boost aviation
another notch On the commercial
ladder.
Today I worked out the ships
color scheme. 1t is a peach. But
I'm not going to tell you about it
until 1 have seen the paint and
enamel put on the plane and find
out if it really looks as well as I
expected.
But enough about the ship.
In glancing over the paper today
I noticed that Ed Snyder, divisional
superintendent of the Pan-Ameri-
can Anyways, had been killed in a
fall from a glider.
Ed and used to fly pay rolls to-
gether in Mexico. Many is the time
that we used to take off together
from the main field at Tampico, our
ships loaded down with pay rolls
for distant oil fields and the coun-
try below Us literally filled with
Mexican bandit bands.
elders Are Important
Those were the old days and a
forced landing just meant that it
was too bad" The bandits would
get the pay rolls and we would be
"out of luck" But we both pulled
through some very hair raising eX-
periences.
Now Eds dead. A gust of wind
tossed him from a glider at an alti-
tude of 1000 feet, the news report
said.
Outside Of being so very fond of
Ed the accident affected me because
of my intense interest in gliders.
Unquestionably gliders are con-
sidered too lightly. They are dealt
with as toys, both by experienced
and inexperienced pilots.
A great deal of good can come
from gliders if properly supervised
and maintain that they are one of
the safest vehicles for elementary
air instruction. regardless of the
present wave of miShapS.
The aircraft industry should band
together and help to stabilize glider
development.

would have been cut off from oppor-
tunity to help their fellow-men and
to carry on the torch Of civilization.
II the Volstead act had been the
law of the land in the days of the
Revolution and the establishment OF
our country, all subsequent history
would have to be rewritten. Every
Revolutionary patriot was violator
Of the preSent-day prohibitory Law
or a conniver at its violation.
John Hancock could not have
signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, for he trafficked in rum and
would have been in the peniten-
tiary if the law had been enforced.
Prohibition agents at Lexington
and Concord would have herded the
embattled farmers TO prison long
before the appointed time of the
shot heard "rounG' the world" Fol-
these goddess farmers to sing:
oh, we can make liquor ia sweeten our
lips
OF pumpkins. of parsnips, of walnut:
tree chips.
ID BENJAMIN FRANKLIN would
- have been locked up years be-
fore the Revolution. During the
French and Indian wars he COM
manded fifty men and rationed out
a gill of rum to each man every
day just after prayers. This hui
manitarian scheme involved illicit
possession, transportation and bar
ter, according to present Volstead
standards.
GEORGE WASHINGTON would
" have been another victim of
the law in pre-revolutionary days.
He never would have reached the
frozen, consecrated ground of VAL
ley Forge, nor have attained the
heights at Yorktown.
His record is particularly black.
AS early as 1853 it is recorded that
he supplied an Indian woman with
rum. In 1855, he shipped a no
account slave to the West Indies,
to be sold "for whatever he will
fetch" and desired to receive the
proceeds of the sale in molasses,
rum, lines, land the residue, much
or little, in good old SPIRITS"
When Washington was standing
for election to the Virginia house
of burgesses, he furnished the voters
Of Frederick county entertainment
which included forty gallons of
punch, fifteen gallons of wine.
thirty gallons of strong beer, ten
bowls of punch" Calculate, if you
can, the sentences that might be
imposed for such fragrant prohibi-
ton violations.
Moreover, to these must be added
the charge of manufacturing alco-
holic beverages, for at Mt. Vernon,
Washington maintained a brewery
where small beer was brewed.
The list of miscreants and cul-
prits could be Widened and length
ened until it embraced every man or
boy enlisted in the Revolutionary
cause. But even if enough of them
had managed to elude the spies and
of prohibition enforcement
