5 NATIONS JOIN
FIGHT FOR AIR
TRADE RULE
(ThiS Is the first of three
articles describing the intern1-
tton1l race underway for the
establishment OF aerial trade
routes across the oceGnSJ
BY DAVID p. SENTNER

NEW YORK, March 5-Wars
may start and stop but the peace
time battle for new commercial
markets goes on.
Columbus set out for a shorter
route to India, the new golden
store house.
Little England sent its legions
to the far continents to create a
gigantic imperial trading system.
The world has been probed and
charted to it's furthest shadow to
make new outlets for the products
of nations.
And now nations take this ever
lasting fight for new markets into
the air.
Battle fastened
The drying up of present world
markets, due to the economic de-
preston, has opened the battle
some years before it's time.
In the near future, fleets Of
Mammoth cargo and passenger
planes will be humming across
the two oceans.
There are five great nations
competing for a dominating posi-
ton in the interhemisphere aerial
trade routes today. They are the
United States, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Italy.
Recalls Other Battle
The present struggle for COM
mercial domination of the air re-
calls the contest for maritime
supremacy.
Spain first reigned over the
ocean lanes to be supplanted by
the Dutch and then British.
Those were the days when Euro
pean nations subsidized their ship
ping and declared monopolies.
The young democratic United
States did not at that time be-
lieve in governmental partnership
in industrial enterprises. They
were therefore under a handicap
until resourceful American sea
masters began building fast clip
per sailing ships.
And then came steam and
Great Britain has ruled the waves
ever since.
In this new contest among the
nations, even as in the maritime
struggle, supremacy in the aerial
trade lanes will be established
by high-speed merchant ships of
the air, long-distance flying boats.
The United States believes itself
a leader in commercial aviation
and hopes to win major prizes in
this great international race.

TREASURY PAY
ACTION WATTS

Conflict of committee meet.
ings resulted in a delay yester-
day of action by Senate Appro-
priations subcommittee on an
Administration amendment to re-
store the nav of 1900 Treasury
employees.
Shortly before the subcommit-
tee was to meet as called by
Senator Carter Glass, chairman
of the committee handling the
Treasury-Postoffice supply bill, it
was found to conflict with an
other meeting to which Senator
Kenneth McKellar CD of Ten
nessee, father of the patronage
rider" that deprived the employees
of their salaries, had been called.
No further date for the meet
ing has been set, Senator Glass
said today.

Johnson Den0unCeS
L0nu and C0uuhIin

NEW YORK, March 5 G.N.SO.
Supporter and critic alike of
Gen. Hugh S. johnson we're
agreed today that the former
director of the National Recovery
Administration has lost none of
his verbal fire and straight-from-
the-shoulder style of talking.
In one of the most fortnight
and fiery speeches heard here
in a long time, General johnson
last night warmly defended the
New Deal and a!ssailed two of its
most outspoken critics, United
States Senator Huey P. Long of
Louisiana, and Father Charles E.
Coughlin, of Detroit. He spoke
at a dinner given at the Hotel
Waldorf-Astoria.
Referring to Senator Long, he
said:
"Share the wealth? That
would do no more than dis
tribute poverty
"And added to that comes
burning over the air the drip
ping brOgue of the Irish Cana
dian priest-pounding home
points of pure political propa-
ganda by calling on the lives
and sayings of all the saints
and the very precepts of the
master in accents mellow with
human sympath-musical bla-
tant bunk from the very ros-
trum of religion. Father
COughlin's plan to make money
out of nothing would make
money worth nOthing-and
that would cOnfiscate the wages
of every worker, the savings Of
every family. the life insurance
of every widow.
I'VE can neither respect nor
revere what appears to be a
priest in holy orders. demand
ing that we ditch the present
for Huey Long, bastardize our
American system and destroy
\. the Government of our country"

GiUe Poor Man Chance
At Congress

To the Editor of The Times:
Why, when we elect a man
for Congress. or any position
with authority, do we always
select a man who is wealthy;
a man who has never known
the hardships a poor man has
to suffer?
Does man of this type
know of the conditions of a
man who is on a 81 per week
salary, relief work? If they
knew these conditions as some
of us do. then they would quit
their squabbling and do some
thing worthwhile for the under
man. No, they have time to
paw a farmer to destroy his
,tock and crops, thereby put
ing the poor man on the spot
again. Why didn't they buy
this so-cal1ed over production
from the farmer at a fair
price, and give it to the poor?
The farmer would have a mar
ket for his produce, and at the
same time be helping the ones
who need it.
When we elect our man. he
promises to do all in his
power to help us. But the help
always goes to the man who al
ready has a million or so in
his position. What do you
say, Times readers? DIXIE.

Smokers at Gas Stations
Should Be Ticketed
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
I should like to call attention
to most flagrant and danger.
Gus violation of the law-that
of motorists smoking when
having their gasoline tanks
filled.
Every service station has a
sign warning against this, but
very few persons seem to take
heed Instead, they scratch
matches and puff away while
their tanks are being filled and
the air is heavy with Imes.
One day there will be a bad
accident as result of this.
and I believe police should be
warned to watch the stations
and call attention of motorists
to this violation.
Those persistently guilty
should be given a ticket as for
any other violation. MO.

Senate LET
LONG, JOHNSON
FIGHT It OUT
international News Service

Gen. Hugh S. johnson, former
NRA head, who made Senator
Huey Longs ears burn last night
in his New York speech, is going
to get a red-hot reply from the
irrepressible kingfish. Senator
Long said:
"Aw, he tJohnsOn) is just one
Of Baruch'S men, Wall Street
men. Baruch and johnson
have been advisers to the last
three or four Presidents and
wrecked ;em ALL"
Senator Long said he was going
to reply to General Johnson's S
speech, in which the former NRA
head paid his respects to Senator
Long and Father Charles Cough
lin in biting phraseology, perhaps
this afternoon.
Interest Aroused
Members of Congress and Ad-
ministration officials general y
were deeply interested in the John.
son.Long -Coughlin feud, but so far
as taking sides or publicly COM
menting about it-that was some
thing else.
About the only Senator willing
to comment about it was Senator
Long himself, who said:
"T'll have plenty to say about
that bird Johnson"
But as for his colleagues, they
wanted no part of the scrap.
The first 10 Senators asked by
International News Service what
they thought of the Johnson-Long.
Coughlin embroglio without excep-
ton threw up their hands and
said, in effect: Nothing doing"

Work of Rescue Squads
Is Praised

To the Editor of The Times:
wish to express praise of the
splendid service given by the
Rescue Squads in the District,
and to hope that this service
may be extended.
I recently had occasion to
call one of the squads and see
the splendid and efficient serv.
ice given.
But I was given to under.
stand that there are only two
of these squads to care for q
city of 100000 persons, and I
consider this too small for the
work called upon.
I believe that every police
precinct in the city should have
a rescue squad, and then our
citizens would be given the care
needed in emergency.
