Division of Air Mail Service,

Dear Mr.. CiSler:
Thank you for your good letter of
February 10th. We very much hope
you keep in mind Ell Centro'S air
mail needs. The route from San
Diego through Ell Centre to Phoe-
nix should certainly be re-eStab-
lished. This should, of course, be in
connection with some transcontin-
entail line flying close to the bor-
der. through Ell PaSo and SO on to
Atlanta, the same as the original
CAM 33.
The writer remembers with much
pleasure your visit here when the
air mail was being schemed, and
we hope you visit us again in the
very near future and come for the
purpose of again laying out the air
mail schedule for Ell Centro, east
and west.
Please realize how isolated we are
and how very much we need air
mail service here, and do every
thing you can to see that air mail
is established, following the orig
inal CAM 33 from San Diego cast,
via Ell Centro
With every good wish, 1 am
Yours very truly,
Leo Hetzel,
Chairman, Air Mail Committee.

BRITISH SET TO

tOOpyTlSlI. 1909. ny O4lGCO L1CSDj
LONDON, May 26.-Great Britain
has decided to accept the challenge
of the johnson law and default its
8 ,67o,00o var debt payment due
the United States June Is, a high
official source told the United Press
today.
1t was regarded as certain that
a British default would be followed
by defaults of other nations that
have been making token payments.
In Brussels the United Press learned
that Belgium had decided to default
again.
Because of the Whit Monday holi-
day, the cabinet has not met in ten
days and has not formally made
the decision to default. The deci-
sion was made outside the cabinet
and approval is a formality.
1t was regarded as unlikely that
a formal cabinet decision would be
made before President Roosevelt
sends his debt message to congress.
