which this commission recon-
mended, without undue delay.
But one-half the changes
unanimously urged by the com.
mission require legislation to
put them in effect. In regard
to these the President is pre-
pared to give the Congress the
assistance of his leadership.
But the responsibility for
legislating in this vital matter
rests upon the Congress. This
responsibility cannot be dis
charged either by pork-barrel
politicians or political publicity
hounds. It cannot be dis
charged by the dupes of alien
intrigue. It cannot be dis
charged by political crack-pots
posing as experts.
1t can only be discharged
by patriotic and intelligent
Senators and Representatives
in Congress who share the
Presidents whole-hearted de-
sire to maintain for the United
States the position of world
leadership in civil aviation and
naval aviation which this coun.
try now possesses and to win
for the United States that lead.
ership in military aviation
which American heroiSm and
genius have earned and Ameri.
can defense urgently requires.
Congressman Lea Of Califor.
MIA has introduced in the
House a carefully. drawn bill,
the purpose of which is to put
into effect the major provisions
of the Federal Aviation Com
mission. This bill is now be-
fore the House Committee on
Interstate Commerce, Of which
the wise and fearless chairman
is Congressman Rayburn, Of
Texas. Chairman Rayburn and
his committee will soon begin
hearings upon this measure and
these will be followed by re.
port to the House of the Lea
bill.
TINE FOR ACTION
Other measures have been
proposed the purpose of which
is to carry into effect recon-.
mendations of the Baker COM
mittee in regard to military and
naval aviation. Hearings on
these bills should be scheduled
for an early date that they may
be reported to the House and
the Senate in time for action.
After twenty Federal agen-
cies within fifteen years have
investigated and reported upon
all phases of American avia-
ton, surely it would appear
that the time for action by
Congress had arrived.
The President has done his
part. Surely the American
people have a right to demand
that their Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress do their
part to establish American su.
premacy in the air on a firm
foundation.

mendations of the President
and then to legiSlate in the
light of all the facts and in
the national interest.
Few Presidents have done as
much and no President in the
first half of his first admin
istration has done more. Mr..
Roosevelt has forwarded to the
Congress two COMPREHEN-
SIVE REPORTS ON AVIA-
TION.
LEGISLATION NEEDED
The first of these reports
the report of the so-called Baker
Committee-dealt with military
aviation in particular, although
other aspects of aviation were
included in this survey. Newton
D. Baker, of Ohio, was the able
chairman Of this committee and
associated with him were some
of the best qualified experts on
the subject anywhere to be
found.
The second of these reports
is the report of the so-called
Federal Aviation Commission.
It was established by act of
Congress and charged by law to
make "an immediate study and
survey and to report to Con-
gress, not later than February
I, 1885, its recommendations Of
a broad policy covering all
phases of aviation and the
relation of the United States
thereto" "
President Roosevelt appr0ved
the recommendations If the
Baker committee. H ordered
the administrative changes
which were within his power to
be put into effect. This is being
done as swiftly as possible. He
ordered the other changes re-
quiring legislation submitted to
Congress with his Endorsement.
With a minor exception Pres
ident Roosevelt approved the
recommendations of the Federal
Aviation Commission of which
his old friend and whole-hearted
supporter. Honorable CLARK
Howell, of Georgia, was the able
chairman.
