EBERLE SEES NEED OF PLANE ADVANCE Aviation Unable to Be Re- lied on for National De- fense Now, He Says. Accomplishment of the flight from Ban Francisco to Honolulu by Licut. Lester J. Maitland and Albert F. Hegerberger is significant because it has proved the possibility of moving mircraft to the Pacific defense of the United States in time of emergency but the development of aviation has not yet rached the point where it can be relied upon for national de- fense purposes in such case, accord- ing to Admiral E. W. Eberle, chief ©of naval operations. From the standpoint of national de- fenze, Admiral Eberle declared yester- day, ‘the objective of aviation is to develop planes of sufficient size and capacity to carry adequate armament on a long distance flight in_addition to its fuel and personnel. In other words, the objective is development of aircraft of long range able to carry “a military load.” Radius and Reliability. Cruising radius and reliability of aircraft, according to Admiral Eberle, @re the things to be developed. He declared that the engine, radius and reliability of planes are being st ily enhanced and that he sees no reason ‘why they should not be developed to the stage where aircraft could be em- ployed as a long range defense. Con- stant impetus to civil aviation, he said, is an important factor, because it provides an aeronautical reserve in time of war. In connection with the statement jmade by Maj. Gen. Charles P. Sum- ‘merall, chief of staff of the Army, that the achievement of Lieuts. Mait- land and Hegeriberger was the great- est accomplishment in national de- Tense since the construction of ghe Panama Canal, Admiral Eberle said jthat he felt that the flight was a @efinite advance in aeronautical navi- gation. He added that all of the re- cent transoceanic flights have added greatly to the store of knowledge in merial navigation and their contingent effect on national defense. Adequate Ground Defenses. If there ever should be warfare cen- Rered around alien possessions in the {Pacific, Admiral Eberle said, the air- Plane probably will play an important rt. Just what the future holds orth for aviation as a military imple- ent, he added, remains to be seen, But he expressed the view that the constant development of planes as fearriers would mark this progress. He pointed out that no matter how efficient aircraft became it would be mecessary to maintain adequate ground defenses, such as those at present at Mawaii, Guam and the Philippines. Aircraft, he said, necessarily have to Jand for refilling and to have these landing places unprotected against an enemy in time of war would mean the ultimate capture or destruction of ‘the aircraft.

Special Dispatch to The Star. GENEVA, July 23.—When the his- tory of the Geneva naval conference is finally written, it will be found that the failure of the British embassy in ‘Washington and the foreign office in London to keep informed on the state of American public opinion had much to do with the blunt and vigorous An- glo-American conflict at Geneva, with its inevitable setback of mutual good will in both countries. Coupled with this, Anglo-American harmony was seriously impeded at Geneva by the presence of a paid American big-navy propagandist, who disseminated the most violent anti- British propaganda among newspaper men, and who appeared to be en- couraged by some of the American naval experts. Had it not been for these two fac- tors the conference, even though dead- locked, would not have o roused pub- lic_opinion in both countries. In the past the British foreign of- fice has kept its finger constantly on the pulse of American public opinion, and furthering of Anglo-American friendship had much to do with the signing of a debt agreement distinct- ly unfavorable to Britain, the abroga- tion of the Anglo-Japanese alliance and the hastening of Irish peace. An- glo-American friendship has been the corner stone of British foreign policy and the state of American opinion is :gli'\sldered a barometer of that friend- D. persons was ready to greet him, i Col. Lindbergh, established comfort- bly at Col. Mason's home, a typical New Hampshire farmhouse a few iles out of this city, used his experi- :m:eu of the day to illustrate the need f modern flying field equipment, “The day will come when landing In fog will present few difficulties to he air pilot,” he said. “If the Port- Band field had been equipped with a dio navigation beacon and ‘we’ had en equipped for receiving the sig- mals, it would have been possible to ake a landing today even in the '0og. That will come some day from fone end of the country to the other, molving one of the toughest problems the airmen now have to meet.” + ARMY FLYER FORCED DOWN. fPitot Escapes Injury When He Alights in Fog. BIDDEFORD, Me., July 23 (#).—An Army biplane from Portland was Jorced down at Dayton, near here, Ehortly after 5 o'clock today by the fog and rain. The pilot landed in a ffield, took his bearings and hopped off to Portland. The fiyer, Capt. Rogers, had left Portland when Col. Charles A. Lind- ,bergh was nearly three hours over- due there, planning to meet him and guide him into that city. He lost this way in the fog that baffled Lind- bergh and landed to ascertain his {whereabouts. His landing led to a port that Lindbergsh had come own at Dayton. Ordered to Fort Sill. ‘Warrant Officer Charles B.

Japan, although less concerned with American opinfon, took every pre- caption to gauge it before the opening of the naval conference. Mr. Sadao Saburi, one of the chief delegates, traveled across the United States on his way to the conference and spent considerable time in Washington with his ear tuned to catch the trend of American opinion on naval disarma- ment. In the same manner, Charles MacVeagh, the American Ambassador to Tokio, returned to Washington just before the conference in order to in- form President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg of the state of Japanese opin- ion. He returned to Tokio before the conference opened in order to be able to act between the Japanese foreign of- fice and the State Department in case an difficulty arose at Geneva. Am- bassador Houghton also visited Wash- ington just a week before the confer- ence, spending an evening at the White House to bring President Cool- idge up to date on British opinion. He returned immediately to London. On the other hand, Sir Esme How- ard, British Ambassador in ‘Washing- ton, was on a tour of the Pacific Coast shortly before the naval con- ference opened, and during the time he spent in Washington after his re- turn. he was, unfortunately, not in the best of health. Just the week be- fore the conference opened. the entire British embassy packed its archives and files into large wooden packing cases and moved up to Manchester, Mass., a fashionable resort far re. moved from the heat and pulsation of official Washington. Ready to Meet Challenge. At this time it would not have taken a very keen observer to sense that American public opinion favored parity with Great Britain, at least on paper. American opinion, it could easily be seen, was not anxious to build on any considerable scale, but was at a point where it would be roused by any building challenge by a rival naval power. This was unmis- takably proved when President Cool- idge's plea for economy in cruiser hufld‘lng was overridden roughshod by Congress. To challenge the right of the United States to build, there- fore, was simply to feed ammunition to the big-navy group, This could not have been fully ap- preciated by the British foreign office, usually so solicitous of the American public pulse. Or, if it was, the infor- mation was not sufficiently empha- sized to the admiralty and their dele- gates at Geneva. For challenge the American right to build was exactly what Great Britain did. On the opening day of the confer- ence the British delegation let it be distinctly inferred that they consid- ered parity between the United States and Great Britain on the mat- ter of cruisers a foolish and absurd idea. Moreover, as the conference wore on they failed to correct this inference, but strengthened it in private interviews, despite the storm of public opinfon in the United States and the unfavorable reaction against Anglo-American friendship. Nobody at Embassy. About this time a telegram from Ambassador Gibson to Secretary Kel- logg suggesting that some intimation of the seriousness of aroused public opinion be conveyed to the British embassy received the irate reply from Mr. Kellogg that there was nobody at the Dritish embassy except a third secretary, with whom it was useless Fort ntatives and members are reauested to at- nd EMUPL H. WINDSOR. Grand Master. MR A TIRON @ A to confer. Thereupon the Washington corre- spondent of the Londpn Times, Mr. NAVY ROW BLAMED ON BRITISH FAILURE TO SOUND U. S. OPINION Paid American Big—Navy propagandist Also Declared Responsible for Con- flict at Geneva Conference. Wilmott Lewis, practically became British Ambassador in Washington. His dispatches to London describing the state of American opinion and the position of the American Government were as accurate and authoritative as any telegrams which Sir Esme How- ard might have sent to the foreign office had he been in Washington. Moreover, London treated them as author! e. One day after Lewis’ dispatch de- scribing the surprise of the United States Government at Great Britaln's unwillingness to grant naval parity, and carrying a quotation from Lord Balfour at the Washington conference that “we think the proportion between the various countries (for both capital ships and cruisers) is acceptable,” the foreign office woke up. It sent in- structions to Mr. Bridgeman, chief delegate at Geneva, to change his tune. And Mr. Bridgeman that mid- night issued a statement to the effect that Great Britain had always recog- nized the right of the United States to naval parity. British Ambassador Returns. It was not until the third week of the conference that Sir Esme Howard me down from Manchester-by-the- to confer with Secretary Kellogg. Meanwhile the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Matsudaira, had been facing the heat of Washington all Summer. Almost equally to blame for “twist- ing the lion’s tail and making the eagle scream,” a condition which un- fortunately continued throughout the conference, was an extremely able American propagandist whose influ- ence with the representatives of two influential American newspapers was such that he .even read their dis- patches before filing. Said to be in the employ of large shipbuilding in- terests, this gentleman has been camp- ing at Geneva ever since the meetings of the preparatory commission on disarmament. His propaganda, the writer can testify, was most violently and un- reasonably anti-British. He appeared to be doing everything possible to prevent the success of the conference, and while there is no proof that he was encouraged by American naval men, there was every indication from the amount of time he spent in their company that he was not discouraged. U. S. READY TO QUIT GENEVA IF BRITISH INSIST ON DEMANDS (Continued from First Page.) the United States today are second to no other nation, American officials point out. American industrial pros- perity is largely dependent upon for- elgn trade, and America’s foreign trade is about equal to that of Great |. In addition America has a e commerce in value greater the foreign trade of Great Britain. The United States lacks bases to guard the long lines of overseas routes on which the Americans must depend for foodstuffs and raw ma- terials essential to industry. With an inadequate merchant marine and lacking naval bases throughout the world, there is reason to demand superiority in cruisers rather than to accept inferiority. But the United States is demanding at Geneva not superiority, but merely parity with the British, which the British have declared themselves will- ing to accept. The claim is made that if the Geneva conference the responsibility must be placed squarely at the door of the British admiralty. BRITISH DECISION AWAITED. Cabinet Conferences Dominant Sub- ject of Geneva Discussion. GENEVA, July 23 (P).—Reports from London that the British cabi- :mk‘{ully approved the line adopted i Imiralt Geneva ay among the members of the American and Japanese delegations.

The general impression is that the next few days certainly will decide whether the three delegations must separate without an agreement or, compromise on outstand- ing questions, apply themselves to the actual drafting of a treaty. This undoubtedly would require about ten days after any settlement of the big issues. COMMONS MAY GET VIEWS. Chamberlain Expected to Make State- ment After Council. ON, July.23 (&) 2 —Sir Austen in, secretar for foreign i will preside at the cabinet council Monday morning for further consideration of the naval question. The secretary may make a statement in the House of Commons Monday evening on the government’s policy at Geneva, but this will be decided at the cabinet meeting in the morning. Should the cabinet decide to favor the pronouncement of a policy and a debate on the subject in the House, it will give W. C. Bridgeman and Lord Cecll, the chief British delegates to the tripartite conference, who will probably return to Geneva Tuesday, at least the backing of the opinion of Parliament. “Misconceptions” Cause Anxiety. A subject of anxiety to the ministers is what they regard as the misconcep- tions voiced In both the American and Japanese press about the British policy, and it is supposed that Sir Austen’s statement, if he makes one, will be devoted largely to trying to remove these misconceptions. The Geneva difficulty is still the theme of many speeches and news- paper articles, and Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking at Bicton Park, Devonshire, today, said that no effort should be spared to bring the conference to a_ success- ful conclusion. He added, that how- ever much an agreement was desira- ble, an agreement to spend gigantic sums on naval construction for many years to come might be worse for ail concerned than moderate expenditure following upon freedom from wany agreement. Churchill Is Optimistic. Mr. Churchill expressed the belief that he would not be required to pro- vide for an additional £40,000,000 for naval expenditures and that the con- ference would be successful. J. L. Garvin, editor of the Sunday Observer, will have a long article in that paper tomorrow devoted to the Geneva problems. He strongly advo- cates the suggestion recently made by the American Ambassador, Alanson B. Houghton, to Harvard University- “A people’s pact for a hundred years Mr. Garvin declares that this sug- gestion is as practicable as it is re- flective, and that Great Britain Is ready.

DETROIT, July 23.—Chief execu- tives of 17 States and a host of other State officials were en route tonight to Mackinac Island on the steamer Hastern States, for the annual gov- ernors’ conference, which will open tomorrow. The governors and their aids attended a noon luncheon here today as the guests of Gov. Fred W. Green of Michigan, and departed for Mackinac Island immediately after- ward. The conference will embrace many important subjects of national con- cern. There will be discussions of Mississippi Valley flood control and re- lief, prevention of election frauds, ag- ricultural relief and other subjects. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover is scheduled to be present to unfold for the executives the plan for Mississippi control that he laid before President Coolidge last week. One purpose of the conference is to provide a medium for an exchange of thought on_governmental problems that will make possible a uniform con- sideration and development of them in the several States. .

Courtney, Britisk air ace, would hop oft for his flight to New York on Monday. The captain himself had nothing to say about this, but displayed to his friends and to the correspondents who were on the flying field severa! letters and post cards of an abusive character. The letters likened him to Jonah and said that if he tries to fly he will be “food for fishes.” The captain will take the Whale on its sixth trial flight tomorrow morn- ing. A great deal of time was de- voted by the Marconi experts today to the taking down of the wireless apparatus. This machinery is to be remounted on three-ply wood to which masses of rubber will be attached in order to stop the vibration.

WEATHER IS “ATROCIOUS.” Courtney’s Aide Says Gale Is Blowing Off Ireland. SOUTHAMPTON, England, July 23 (#).—"We are ready now to get off at the first sign of favorable weather.”” Capt. Frank T. Courtney told the As- sociated Press late today after in- specting the Whale, in which he is planning to hop off Monday on his transatlantic voyage. The radio installation, which has held up the flight thus far, was ad- justed to the satisfaction of a Mar- coni expert and worked successfully in a land test this afternoon. Capt. Courtney is confident that only a con- tinuationeof the bad weather reports which he is now receiving will pre- vent his hop off on Monday. Fifty-Mile Gale. R. F. Little, Capt. Courtney’s me- chanic, said that midatlantic weath- er was atrocious at the present time. “There is a 50-mile gale 1,000 miles off Ireland. This would hit us head- on, so you can see we don't want to take any unnecessary risk,” said Little. “As soon as the weather is good we'll go, and we'll get there.” (Advices from the Newfoundland high commissioner in London, re- ceived at St. John's, Newfoundland, today, said that Capt. Courtney, who is planning to make his departure from Europe from Valentina, Ire- land, will make Trepassy, Newfound- land, his objective on the American side of the Atlantic. Trepassy was the base chosen by Col. de Pinedo for his recent flight back to Italy.) R St. Louis Line Valued at $3,549,273 By the Associated Press.
