Efficient Ocean Service,
Aero Group Finds.

An official report that aeronautic SCI
ence has failed to develop a heavier
than-air plane capable Of efficient
transatlantic air transport service to
Europe" but holding out hope for
the future, was sent to Congress today
by President Hoover.
The report was the eighteenth drawn
by the National Advisory COMMITTEES

with the present disturbed condi-
tions of the world" the committee said,
st Is vitality necessary to continue aero
nautical research, experimentation and
development for national defense To
fall behind would not only endanger our
security, but would retard definitely the
progress of civilization"
In a letter submitting the report,
President Hoover urged that America
should keep at least abreast of other
nations in the development of avia-
ton" He declared the advances made
have increased the relative Importance
of aviation as an arm Of national de-
fense."
Greater Efficiency Held Needed.
The committee reported that before
long over-water flights are undertaken
for freight or passenger transportation
large seaplanes Of greater efficiency
must be developed than are now pos
sible."
Rigid sirships at this time offer q
prospect for air passenger service to

are now to break camp and return to

planned for them to concentrate at the
capitals of the States and there to
establish themselves in such accommo-

of organization, and it now remains to
be seen whether Harrisburg and Co.

and give them shelter and sustenance.
More likely is it that they will be as
unwelcome in such cities as they were

0utlawry of Conquest.

Pan-American solidarity has seldom
exhibited itself more effectually than
in the note of nineteen North, Central
and South American states formulated
at Washington yesterday and addressed
to the governments of Bolivia and Para
quay. The purpose of the message Is
to chain up, while there is still time,
the dogs of war so angrily barking at
each other in the two estranged coun-
tries and impel the Bolivians and the
Paraguayans to settle their ancient
feud over the Gran Chaco by arbitra-
ton. Both governments having ex-
pressed to the League Of Nations, OF
which they are members, willingness
to compose their differences, 1t is hoped
that the communication from all the
sister Americas will prove the final ar
gument in favor of peace.
The United States directing hand in
the American round robin sent to
La Paz and Asuncion is apparent from
the fact that it cites the Hoover
doctrine" first applied to Japan in con-
nection with the Manchurian invasion.
The concluding paragraph in the note
to Bolivia and Paraguay says: THE
American nations further declare that
arrangement Of this controversy which
has not been obtained by peaceful
means, nor the validity of territorial
acquisition which may be obtained
through occupation or conquest by
force Of arms"
In effect, this is exactly what Secre-
tary StimsOn stated to Japan and
China last Winter, and what the
League of Nations Assembly two
months later identified itself WITH
when at long last it came to grips
with the Manchurian affair. The
United States, in thus projecting the
doctrine of the outlawry of conquest,
took its Stand-aS the nineteen Amer
icas now take theirs-on the language
and spirit of the Kellogg pact. Bolivia
and Paraguay are reminded that re
Spect for law is tradition among the
American nations who are opposed to
force and renounce it both for the
solution of their controversies and as
an instrument of national policy In
their reciprocal relations" Renuncia-
tion OF war as IAN instrument of ma
tional policy" is the keynote of the
Kellogg pact.
Passions remain bitterly aroused in
Bolivia and Paraguay over their respec-
tive claims to the strip of wilderness
known as the Gran Chaco, and which
has been a bone of contention between
them for more than half a century.
They know today that the other Amer
icas are unwilling to see the contro-
versy thrashed out on the battlefield. 1t
is inconceivable that Pan-America's re-
monstrance against Bolivian Paraguay
an war will be fouted by the would-be
belligerents.

What Voters Want
From Politicians
From the Danbury Evening News.

From the Danbury Evening News.
What do voters want this hard cam
paign year? Do they want hokum and
bunkum, do they want evasions and
oratory. do they want drivel and
ranting?
No! The people are earnest about
things today. They have passed and
are passing through critical times
They are interested in vital things.
The old-time political cant and
"hurrah boys" won't fool the voters this
year. What the people want is
straight from-the-shoulder talk, the
sort of sincere talk that tells things
and does not evade.
Abuse of the other party is "out.' ~
And personal attacks won't go, either
Turn the rascals out" won't fool any
body, and pointing with pride and view
ing with alarm as vote-getting methods
are in the discard. People today want
the truth and they want candid
speeches and frank discussions Of men
and measures.
This is no time for a campaign of
bland party first" propaganda. The
voters want, as never before, to put the
best men in office. They see that this
is a crucial period in the life of the
Nation, they see the world in turmoil
and ANYTHING possible. They see that
strong competent men, men Of judg-
ment and superb intelligence, men of
purpose and high principle. are needed
in high place. The citizens realize
that the ballot is thing of tragic i'm
portance; that politics Is vastly more
than a scramble for office among the
self-seekers. And they are thinking
these things as they look the candi-
dates for ONCE over, listen to their say
ings and observe their actions and scru-
tiniZe their records.
