The Right-Of-Way.
By Harold G, Hoffman, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles, Of New Jersey,
in United States Daily.

The rieht-otway rule is perhaps the
most fundamental in the whole body OF
motor vehicle regulations, yet it is the one
that is too frequently disre 9arded, often
with serious consequences.
IN this State the rule is the one that is
laid down quite generally. that every
driver OF vehicle when entering or cross
ing any intersection shall grant the right
of-way at all times to any vehicle ap-
preaching from his right" ''l''a
This is plain enough. There should be
no confusion as to terms. The driver ap-
preaching on the right is the one who
should be allowed 10 cross the intersection
hrst. yet how often does one see two cars,
with bumpers almost touching, standing
at an intersection as if there were no
regulation which gave one the priority
over the other2
There is no reason why there should be
any MISUNDERSTANDING on this point And
perhaps it isn't all misunderstanding, but
carelessness on the part of some motorists
VINO conveniently forget the regulations
when they knoY them well enough. 1t
can't be anything else, unless it is case
OF the other driver speeding into the inter-
section at an excessive rate. But it is
more common for the man who is stealing
the rlght-of-way to be speeding. And it
IS Just such instances which I have in
mind
II the right-o'-way regulation were OBJ
served senersll, we would have fewer &C.
cidents and piuch smoother flow of traffic
WhetneI In nc city stf6 or rural highway.
why simply because II would be in fact
q case OF Laffic regulating ITSELF OF
course, ! am not trying to paint the picture
alhoge.her oisck by implying that there is
virtsta,iy no observance of the law If that
were 'iio cdse we would simply have to
throw ~ our hands in despair. But where
as one tln does not make spring, single
violation OF the right-of-way rule can tenn
porarily jar the entire scheme of regulation.
The danger following such violation is
so immediate that it is quite different from
other infractions of the traffic code. A car
may stand on the street for several hours
over the parking limit and no harm will
be done to life or property. The same is
true OF number of other violations of the
law which, because of circumstances at
the time, do not threaten any individual or
his property. But with right-of-way it is
vastly different. Here we have two vehicles
travelling into an intersection in such
way that they come together with little
space for stopping.
They must be under control, but even
that is not enough to avoid an accident.
The one driver must be given precedence,
otherwise it would be continuous contest.
Of course, that is what happens in too
many instances. There are certain mo-
torists who show by their actions. at least,
that their definition of right-of-way is that
the driver who gets there first and can bluff

Reason for Lack Of Progress il
 Speed to Be Checked

Washington, March 15 (P)-An in vestigation to determine why the United States navy department has Jagged behind other nations in the development of fast pursuit and bombing planes will be begun shortly by the senate.
 It will be made by q sub commit tee of the senate naval affairs co1- mittee, headed by Senator Tydings. democrat, Maryland. Other members will be Senator Waterman, republi- can. Colorado, and Senator Sullivan. republican, Wyoming.
 They have been appointed by Chairman Hale, of the naval con- mittee to conduct hearings on a resolution by Tydings calling for an inquiry into the "conditions sur rounding the type. speed and com- parability of fast pursuit and bomb- ing planes with those of other na- tions and all other matters pcrtain- ing thereto"
 To Probe Williams Case It is planned. also. 10 investigate the reasons for transferring Lieu tenant Afford J. Williams, navy speed flier, to sea duty, after he had been conducting experiments in tended to develop fast scaplanes. Williams resigned from the navy duty. Tydings' resolution said the order had the effect of causing his resignation and bringing his valu- able experiments to an end.' Tydings explained today that his resolution was not intended to pick q quarrel with the navy" 1 "All I am after is the facts" h. asserted. "Thc navy department may be entirely justified in everything il | has done"
 The record made by the United States in the Schneider cup lntcrna- tional races, won the last two times by Great Britain, Tdyings added. in | dicatcs that this country is tagging | behind other nations in developine l fast pursuit and bombing planes Williams was entered in the last race, but his plane proved deficient in tests, and he did not compete.
 Speed Would Count Tn case of a war, speed would count" Tydings said, and if we were deficient in that respect We would be at a serious disadvantage.' l He said he would call his commit tee together as soon as possible and map out a program, after which 1 hearings would begin.

CANADIAN SENATE DEBATES MEASURE
Bill Passes Second Reading
 Several Protests Are Heard

Ottawa, Ont, March 15 UP)- Passed unanimously at it's second reading, the bill prohibiting export of liquor to the United States, championed by Premier Mackenzie King, today awaited final consider ation by the house of commons be- fore being sent to the senate. The bill was passed after considerable debate last night.
 The premier pointed out that tc defeat the measure, members ot parliament would be placing them- selves in the position of being pre- pared to break the laws of a neigh boring country.
 Bennett Issues Protest
 R. B. Bennett, opposition leader who supported the bill because he believed it to be sound in principle declared, however, that members on both sides of the house. were op- posed to the measure and protest ed against parliament being "dragoon- ed' into it by the prime ministers picture Of danger from the United States.
 He added that diplomatic cores pondencc from Vincent Massey Canadian minister at Washington revealed no peril to Canada from its southern ncighbor. If Premier King believed such danger existed. Ben. nett wanted to know why he lrad delayed until four years after the United States had asked for sucl action by the Dominion.
 k Major C. C. Power. NJ. C., of Que. bee, held that passage of the bil would result in moral dcgredatior and external humiliation for Canada He argued that the Dominion's pco. plc did not want such action taken He observed that support of the measure was based on 'humbug anG hypocrisy and that Canada was taking the step out of friendliness for the United States while therc had been signs of an 'unsympathetic attitude on the part of the United i1lulto iON ul U NGlldud III llIdlly ] C- spccts.
