These American planes are

are more highly trained than
foreign pilots. The equipment
of these American planes, ex-
cept in the case of liquid-cooled

MILITARY VALUES
"The most striking develop
ment in the commercial field"
according to the findings of the
Baker committee, whose report
is now before the Congress for
consideration, "is the progress
m a d e in scheduled airline
transport"
From 1927 to 1888 non-air-
mail scheduled flying increased
from $4,000 to 10,860,000 miles;
miscellaneous flying from 30,-
100000 to 100000 miles; air.
mail mileage from 328 routes
and 1872 scheduled miles with
"a round trips a month, to IT,"
900 routes, 3,274,O00 scheduled
miles, with 1926 round trips
per monitor to approx.
mately 4O,00O,00o miles per
year.
The miles flown per fatal &C.
cident have increased, during
the same period. for scheduled
flying from $4,000 to in excess
of 5,550,O00. There has been a
similar increase for miscellane-
Gus flying from $4,000 to about
100000.
One of the most important re-
cent developments in Americas
conquest of the air has been the
production of high-speed, long"
range, largecapacity transports.
Aircraft of this sort has great
potential military value. In
emergency these planes are a
vast reservoir of strength. Com
mercial planes are improved
more rapidly in type than mill

tary planes, due to the intense
competition between airlines.
All of these findings of fact
by the Baker committee are
reaffirmed in the report OF the
Federal Aviation Commission,
which is also before the Con-
gress. But this commission
investigated at greater length
the condition of commercial
aviation than did the Baker
committee, whose primary pur-
pose was to inquire into mill.
tary aviation.
The Federal Aviation Com
mission in its report puts Con-
greSs on notice that "a con-
siderable part of the nations
air transport is running at a
steady loss, and that operations
cannot continue indefinitely
under present conditions"
The cost of operating a trans
port plane depends largely on
its size and power and the fire.

Senger transport costs approx
mately between SIS cents and
IS cents per mile. The more
frequent the schedules, the
lower the cost per mile.

october, 1884, only seven aver
aged gross revenues of SO
cents per mile, and only three
exceeded so cents per mie.
The official figures submit
ted by the airlines to the In
terstate Commerce Commission
showed that in october Of last
year 26 out of 80 domestic con-
tracts for carrying the mail
ran at net loss. One con.
tract was losing it's holder
almost $4,000 per month.
Although our air transport
system is far ahead of foreign
countries, and is the safest in
the world, it showed a net loss
last October of 100000.
QUESTION OF TIME
Whether this splendid sys-
tenn which is vital factor in
national defense, as well as In
national transportation and
com munica tion, is to be
wrecked in six weeks or in six
months, nobody can forecast.
But the facts and figures now
before Congress show that the
air transport system of this
country is heading straight for
disaster. It is only a question
of time when it will collapse
unless Congress comes swiftly
and intelligently to its support.
The experience of the whole
world proves that a first-class
air transport system cannot
long exist without direct fin
ancial aid from the Govern
ment. If our air transport sys
tenn is to hold it's present pc
sition of leadership it must re
