CHILEAN TRADE SLUMPS
FURTHER AFTER MUTINI
Market for Foreign Goods Is Stag
nant, U. S. rariercial At
tache Reports.

Following closely on reports Of a
naval mut.ny in Chile, the Commerce
Department today was advised by radio
gram that the market for foreign goods
in that country is stagnant and trade
leaders stated that there is apparently
no single commodity for which even q
fair demand exists.
Notwithstanding low stocks in many
trade lines, according to the radiogram
from Commercial Attache Ralph H.
Alderman st Santiago. there is little
prospect Of any improvement in the
near future. He said the retail trade
generally reports further reduction in
turnover and continued foundations of
many smaller stores. The government,
Mr.. Ackerman said, has denied the pc
tition Of certain smaller merchants for
a general moratorium of limited dura-
ton applying to all obligations.

AS Moyie hed predicted, they had nc
trouble taking off, clearing the beach
after a run of / 800 meters.
THE plane holds the world weight
carrying record for a single motor
plane" Moyle said. explaining they had
increased the lift" by cutting down
the propeller an inch at each end and
installing a new tail group.
Ships Falls Twice Before.
Nearly a year ago Harold Bromley
and Harold Gatty-the latter the same
man who recently established an
around 1.-the world speed record with
Wiley Post of Oklahoma-tried to fly
this same plane from Samushiro Beach
to Tacoma, Wash. They returned to
the beach many hours later with a
broken fuel line.
This year. Thomas Ash, IT,, another
American, using the same plane. tried
to make the flight alone, but could not
get into the air.
Then came Moyle and Allen. They
revamped the ship, changed the pro-
pellor and tuned up the motor, waved
to handful of friends and headed for
Seattle.
Order Seattle Breakfast.
They had plenty Of confidence that
they would succeed. Allen put in an
order for a Seattle breakfast of bacon
and eggs, buckwheat cakes and plenty
OF sirup. Moyle wanted ham and eggs,
corn cakes and maple sirup
But Moyle and Allen didn't plan on
going hungry all the way across the
Pacific. They found room in the heavily
loaded plane for five roast chickens,
the gift of Mayor Yoji Kogiruimaki,
and bread, butter and coffee.
Their getaway was the subject of
favorable comment and congratulat ions
by Col. Lindbergh, as we'll as by Clyde
Pangborn and Hugh Herndon, another
pair of American aviators in Japan
seeking permission to make trans
oceanic attempt.
Lindbergh Encouraging
The boys have all my best wishes"
said Lindbergh. Its a dangerous job
they have undertaken.
The weather over the Aleutian Is
lands does not matter so much, as they
can keep going The important thing
will be the weather where the two tired
flyers will land"
The boys got away better than I
expected" said Pangborn. ITO take
the air with such a tremendous load
was one of their greatest difficulties.
If they have an even break with the
weather they are pretty sure Of sue
cess"
Herndon expressed similar feelings

peace necessitated silence for the pres
ent.
The air corps, supported by land
forces, remain in control OF the ma
ton, he said, to make sure that the
mutineers do not attempt to violate
their surrender agreement. He said
ONLY minor details to return the country
to normalcy remained and that the ma

Praise Aviation Division.
The nation was generous in praise of
the conduct of the aviation division, and
attaches of embassies and legations re-
marked that it was the first time in a
Latin American revolt that aircraft had
conquered a navy to protect q gov
eminent.
Although it had been planned to
cut the Air Corps in the interests Of
economy 1t was held likely that the
navy budget instead will be sliced and
these funds accredited to the victorious
branch of the services, answerable only
to the President.
The Senate proposed to the cabinet
that one Of the outstanding heroes Of
the rebellion, Lieut.. Fernando de Ia
Paz, be raised to the rank of major.
The lieutenant, whose full name means
Ferdinand of the Peace" Offended
single-handed the powder magazine at
Talcahuano and killed seven insursent
soldiers with seven shots wien they
tried to rush him.

EX-KlNG ON PILGRIMAGE
AmanuIlah Believed Seeking to Re
gain Faith in Afghanistan.

sIMLA, India, April % (P).-Ama-
hullah. deposed king of Afghanistan, en-
route from Rome on a pilgrimage 70
Mecca. arrived today at Jeddah, port OF
the Holy City.
The object of the former king in max
ing the trip is not known, but 1t was
thought here that he is anxious TO set
himself right with orthodox Moslem
opinion. The pilgrimage seems ef1ec-
tually to dispose Of rumors that he Is
about to become a Roman Catholic.
The rapid westernization which Anna
nullah attempted In Afghanistan alien
ated the loyalty OF strict Moslems in his
country and led TO his downfall and the
Kings personal prestige as champion
of Islam was impaired among millions
Of strict followers Of the prophet
throughout the Moslem world.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 23.-
Discovery in a barn of more than
10000 letters to and from Stephen A.
Douglas was announced by George Fort
Milton today, the l18th anniversary of
Douglas birth.
Mr.. Milton, editor of the Chattanooga
News, who is engaged in writing a
biography of Douglas. said the corre-
Spondence indicated that had the Illi-
nois statesman been elected President
in 1850 instead of Abraham Lincoln,
"the Civil War would have been post
poned and possibly altogether averted."
Milton Halls Discovery.
Finding of the correspondence in an
old box in a barn at the home OF one
of Douglas grandsons, Robert Dick
Douglas, in Greensboro, N. c.. was de-
Scribed by Mr. Milton as certainly one
of the two or three most important
discoveries of source material for the
history of America in the nineteenth
century which has been made in recent
years.
I'm the past" said Mr. Milton, much
of our history of the twilight years i'm
mediately preceding the Civil War has
been written from ultra-points Of view.
Either 1t has been a product OF the
New England school of historians. with
consequent over-emphaSiS upon the
Abolitionist attitude. or it has come
from the counter balancing extreme
Southern school, devoting its energies
with equal zeal and probably with equal
truth to painting a picture OF united
South, rushing to arms to champion
certain gossamer theories OF State
sovereignty.
Believes War Was AvOidabIe.
70 during tho S0S
and through the crisis preceding the
call to arms there existed the great
middle group, North, South, East and
West, disconnected with the extremist
views of either section, and endeavor-
ing bravely. but vainly. to preserve
the Union and peace, has not received
anything like the notice which. 1t prop
erly deserves. In large easure, one
cause of this underemphasis of the con-
Servative Union sentiment has been be-
cause the primary sources from which
history is best written have not con-
tanned a proper supply Of letters and
documents of this group.
THE Douglas letters reveal the ex-
istence of a strong Union sentiment
throughout the South as late as April
Is, 1861, and important figures from
throughout the States of the new Con-
federacy kept writing Douglas in
piteous appeal that he work out, a plan
of compromise which would maintain
both the Union and peace.
