Calling Hoover when he was Secre merce, Mitchell said aviation had been placed in the hands of mer- chants by a- Hoover investigating board and Coolidge followed the example, and “since tHn there has been no development in the air at all. Everything is going backward. Our inventive genius has not been used at all.” Mitchell said he was looking to the future and warned that the next war would be decided by a bombing attack Mitchell advocated the United States establishing “aviation fort- resses or underground fields in Al- aska, Hawaii and the Philippines, especially if we intend to try and hold the islands.” MILLIONS ARE SET ASIDE T0 BUY UP FARMS WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.— The Federal Surplus Relief Corporation has been allotted $25,000,000 of public works funds to initiate the government’s program of buying up unprofitable farm lands and re- tiring them from production. Development of the program will be worked out by the Depart- ment of Agriculture and the De- partment of the Interior in cousul- tation with other agencies An official anmouncement said the aim of the program was “ter- mination of attempts to farm and crop lands which are not fitted for such purposes and camnot be made cultivatable in an economical man- ner under existing conditions. It was said that submarginal lands taken out of production would be used for “such purposes as are deemed advisable, including additions to the national domain, Indian reservations, national for- ests and parks.” ——.—— - Pans Gold at 99 DENVER, Colo., Feb. 9.—Henry R.
