ASSOCIATES, LAUD RECORD OF CURZON Leaders of All British Parties Pay Tribute at Tomb of Dead Statesman. March 24—The nation, n the person of its sovereign and the Houses of Parliament, yesterday paid its tribute of sympathy praise for the high services rendered during a lifetime of strenuous and courageous effort by a great states- man, Marquie Curzon of Kedleston, who filled all but the very highest office in the state The King laments him a and valued friend prime minister, Stanley Baldwin, in the House of Commons. in the course of & eulogy, characterized -him as *a self-made man, because it was his natural ability, fierce industry and his courage which made him from an early period of his life map out a scheme of what he would do.” ‘He was the architect of his own fortunes,” said Mr. Baldwin, “an old his Bor: no Grudg.. Baldwin also touchingly re- to the recent occasion when himself had been chosen, instead Lord Curzon. as premier, and testified that never by word, look or frnuendo did Curzon show that he bore any grudge. Ramsay MacDonald, the Labor leader, in an equully eloquent tribute spoke of another side of Lord Cur- s character. ture for art and literature My ferred he Lover of Art. Prefacing his remarks that he had known Lord Curzon in- timately in early life, Mr. MacDonald sald he'had known him both at home and in India.as “the discipls, apostle and custodian of our artistic posses- sions, a lover of zrt and a fine ap- preciater of literature—an absorbed nd completely interested connols- seur, whose services to the nation could hardly be appreciated so soon after his lamented death.” Mr. MacDonald testified how dur- ing his recent visit to India he had found everywhere evidence of a sacred care to preserve the fine speci- mens of architecture. which was al- ways credited to Lord Curzon by stating Houses Are Crowded. Both houses were crowded. In the House of Lords the Earl of Ox- ford and uith Jbrought up vivid recollections extending -from the time when | Curzon, then a schoolboy ing Eton.

He takes a sure place the long line of those Who have en- riched by their actlons and dignified by their character the anhals of Eng- lish public life.” Nurse Sues, Charging Slander.

Rescarches Going Ahead. The fact that the Treasury will not know definitely concerning the pres- ent law until later on has not. how- ever, delayed its plans for going ahead with a study of the changes in preparation for further tax revision next Fall. Tax experts are now en- gaged in going over administrative provisions of the law in an effort to find ways of stopping leakages, and are drawing on information gathered by A. W. Gregg, assistant to the Sec- retary of the Treasury. in his recent study of British tax administration.

In dealing with the tween the aviators and the senior branches of the service, one has to consider this factor. Also there is the matter of temperament. An avia- tor is an artist, like a base ball player, a pugilist, a singer, an author, or an actor. Being such, he has his ups and downs, his whimseys, his states of nerves, his hot imaginations. The typical oldier is a hard-boiled efficlency man. The two tempera- ments do not mix—as many & busi- ness man has learned upon tfying a| theatrical venture. This is one of those little human values on which the con- gressional committee could not take testimony. It has, nevertheless, its importanc: These temperamental artists. as things stand at present, find them- selves under command of men of the other sort. Fortunately for effi- clency, the aviators exempt Gen. Pat- rick and.Admiral Moffett from their comment on ground-trained com- manders. Gen.

The announcement that the Rev. J. Whit- comb Brougher would officiate had scarcely been made when the minis- ter revealed a lecture engagement which would prevent him from going to San Marino. He suggested to Ar- buckle that inasmuch as “very few clergymen wish to marry divorced people, it would be a good idea to have a Superior Court judge tie the knot.” Arbuckle acted on the sug- gestion, but Judge J.

The personnel seems a little bitter over the high fatality in naval aviation. The annual loss in killed averages 5 per cent of the actual fly- ers. During one year it ‘was 8 per cent. These are almost war figures, Some of this doubtless may be at- tributed to our worn-out material. But who generally judges. whether an airplane is fit to fly aviators “A ground man!" A question of rank complicates the digsatisfaction of the Army flyers. Uniess we have a war few of the wing lleutenants now dally risking their lives to keep the service effi- clent -can hope to retire, after 30 years' service, above the grade of captaln; That is one curious result of the laté war. A good part of the younger officers now in service enter- ed the Army as volunteers between ADFil, 1817, and November, 1918. Those ‘who ‘selected Infantry, Artil- lery or Engineers needed oniy three chose aviation to a usually from elght vear. In some cases, " of equipment, it took 15 months. An officer received his commission and took his place on the Army lists ouly when his training was complete, The aviators, in short, came in at the bottom of the list during a period when those lists were swollen. They are part of the Army machinery, how- | ever; they must crawl up file by file men above them drop out.

Under an independent and natural scheme of organization these young men would graduate when their best usefulness n the air was done, to command on the ground. But few, if any of them, will ever achieve any position in ground command worth having, sim- ply because they will never become majors or colonels or generals. less we change things radically, they can never have even their proper representation on the general staff. 1t commercial aviation had lived up to its first promises the two serv- ices would probably have kept very few first-grade rs. The tempta- tion from outside would have been too great. As it stands, our Army and Navy aviators givel the impres- sion of men who are waiting to see which way the cat will jump. One of the Army men sald to me: “They send us a new major from the Infantry or the Englneers or something.
