HANGCHOW, China, Jan. IT,
Rapid strides are being made here
in China's effort to build a mill
tary air corps as a guard against
repetition of enemy attacks upon
her towns and countryside.
Back of high barbed wire
fence, the China Aviation Insti-
tute, with the help of American
civil filters, is training pilots for
the Marking government. General
Huan Pin-Heng, who learned to
fly in the United States, is COM
mander of the air force.
Soong Founder of Corps
That the hoped for corps is to
be used also for civilian purposes
is included in the program of the
school, but is an open secret
that the chief object is military.
I. V. Soong, minister of finance
and brother-in-law of Chang Kai-
Shek, executive head of the Nam
king regime, is credited with hay
ing caused the school to be estab-
lished. 1t was in his privately
owned plane that Christy Mathew
son, Jr., one of the American in
structors here, had a tragic crash
at Shanghai,
1t is said that as DR.. Soong
watched Japanese flyers swarm
over Shanghai last February, deal
ing death and destruction to the
Chinese defenders of Chapel, he
decided China was to have an air
corps.
Cadets Apt Pupils
Soong, a graduate of Harvard,
supplies the money for the Hang
chow school. He hired sixteen
American pilots and mechanics as
instructors, and sees to it that the
most likely candidates among the
Chinese would-be flyers are sent
there.
The American instructors whom
Soong hired come from all parts of
the United States. The head of the
group is John H. Jouett of San
Francisco. He saw service in
France, but resigned from the
army in 1880 to become a COM
mercial aviator. Several of his as
sistants have similar records.
The group lost no time in get
ting under way. Within the short
time they have been in China they
have gotten ''shaken down" in
Hangchow. Ground instruction
was under way while construction
of school buildings, hangers and
aviation field was going on.
These instructors have been
hired for several years. The money

There he will put the finishing

tria. The loan amounts approx
mately to $35, 100000.
The loan that DollfuSS negoti-

ised Austria in the Lausanne con-
ference last year in exchange for
abandonment Of plans for an
AuStro- German customs union.
But it was never floated, owing to
French Socialist objections.
The proceeds will be used to pay
interest and amortization of exist
ing allied loans to Austria to avoid
an Austrian default or mora

It was made plain that the loan
will be used to prevent possible

that the nations subscribing to the
