Senator du Pont Would Construct Road From Atlantic to Pacific With Congress Aid. BY J. A. O'LEARY. SUPERHIGHWAY, extending from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific and capable of accommo: dating four lanes of moving traffic, is being advocated by Senator Coleman du Pont of Delaware in one of a number of bills on the sub. ject of mational highway improvement | that have been introduced by various members since the Seventieth Con- | gress convened. There is pending in the mew Con gress also the bill to insure continued | progress on the program of Federal aid to the States for highway con struction, which has been in operation since 1916 and under which a network | of crosscountry arteries is being de- | veloped. | Existing Jaw authorizes the regular annual allotme: $75.000.000 for aid gress sanction these authorizations two years in advance of actual appr fation, so that State way de- | partments may have notice of what | the Federal Government proposes to do and prepare their State road ! budgets accordingly. | Wants Policy Continued. The American Association of State Highway Officials, in convention in October. urged that action be taken at this session to authorize the allot- ments for the fiscal vears 1930 and 1931. A bill to accomplish that pur- pose has been introduced by Repre- | sentative Dowell of lowa. Senator Phipps of Colorado, one of the leading advocates of good roads | legislation in the upper branch -of | Congress, believes there should be no let-up in the Government's policy of extending financial aid to the Siates for road improvement. Senator Phipps | points out. that in the 10 | from the beginning of this program to last year 171.657 miles of main high- | wavs were constructed or improved | with Federal aid. “These roads.” he =aid, “lead across | the country from the East to the West, North to the South. They pass through the principal cities of each State: they traverse the leading agricultural communities: they go from farm to market and from the post office to the home. A 10-mile zone marked off on each =ide of this Federal aid system would include the residences of nine-tenths of our popu- lation.” idvto Agriculture. Senator Phipps looks upon Federal aid road work as an assistance to agri- culture as well as a_ benefit to the | postal service in the delivery of rural | mail. | The du Pont proposal for a central superhighway going directly possible across the country is a mep arate and distinct project from the regular program of Federal aid to the States for road construction. While such a highway wouid be a facility for the army of Americans who mo- tor across their country every year, Renator du Pont believes it would be | of benefit 10 the postal service in time of peace and an important fac. | tor of mational defense in an emer- geney. The bill would set up a commission composed of the Secretaries of War, Agriculture, Treasury and Commerce, the Postmaster General and six indi- viduals appointed by the President to | report to Congress a plan for the pro- posed central highway with an esti- car period | g | | invite | gener ahead in his vision of a transconti- ’l:!]nml highway may be seen from the | provision in his bill calling for a right {of way 500 feet wide. Of course, 8o | wide an expanse of actual roadway would not be needed at the outset and Senator du Pont’s idea is to lease {{he reserve width for tourist camps and other purposes until such time as the entire right of way would be re- quired for traffic. He would have the roadway so laid out as to permit two-way fast traf- fic for tourists and non-truck vehicles and two-way trafic for heavy trucks. No part of the superhighway would be located within any municipality ! having a population of 2,500 or more. The bill contemplates establishment of emergency airplane landing fields long the superhighway. with lights, signal structures and radio directional finding facilities in the aid of air nav- igation, subject to the approval of the Secretary of Commerce. Righway Report Urged. The commission which wopld be set up by the du P'ont bill to supervise builing and operation of the supel highway also would be directed to re- port to Congress on the advisability and practicability of laying out the following additional highw to con- nect with the central artes 1. A highway from a point on or near the northern boundary of Maine to the southern part of Florida by as direct a route as practicable. 2. A highway from near the north- ern boundary of the State of Washing- ton to the southern part of California by as direct a route as possible, 3. One from the point in south- ern California, across the Southern States to connect with the proposed Eastern seaboard roadway. 4. A roadway from the central high- way as near longitude 100 degrees as practicable to connect with the West. ern seaboard highway in Washington v from the central hizhway near longitude 95 degrees, south to connect with the highway through the Southern States. Bills also have been introduced by Senators Capper of Kansas, McKellar of Tennessee and Tyson of Tennessee to authorize appropriations of vary- ing amounts during the next few fis- cal years for expenditure in co-opera- tion with the States on rural post roads over which rural carriers travel, as distinguished from the more heavily traveled highways. This legislation would be of more direct benefit to the county road system. Of particular interest to the Na- tional Capital in connection with road- building legislation is the joint reso- lution introduced by Senator Phipps, under which the United States would the International Road Con- gress to hold its next meeting in this country. either in 1929 or 1930, It is iy understood that if the Amer- jovernment extends the invita- tion the be held in ‘Washington. It would bring to the National Capital more than 300 dele- ican | gates from all parts of the world, for an interchange of knowledge and ex- perience on the important subject of highway construction. Early Action Necessary. If the international road meeting is to be held here, Congress will have to act on the Phipps resolution at this session in order to give time for the making of necessary arrangements for the event. Plans are being formu- lated to take the world delegates on a trip across the States to observe BY G. GOULD LINCOL MERICAN relations grow in importance. Nothing is more significant of this fact than President Coolidge's coming visit to Havana at the time of the opening of the Sixth International Conference of Ameri- can States. Critics of the United States in republics to the south and in Europe have charged this country with imperialistic designs upon the whole Western Hemisphere. Critics of the Coolidge administration and its policies toward certain Latin American states in this country, too. have raised their voices in similar attack. The policy of the United States toward the other American republics has been one of friendship from the first. The presence of President Coolidge when the conference on American affairs opens in the Cuban capital will be regarded as a formal manifestation of the friendly feeling which the administration and the country have toward the ether Amerl- can republics. It will present an opportunity to the President to state anew the friendship in which the United States holds the countries of Central and South America. The President is to deliver an address—an address which may prove of vast importance. 1{ he cho he may state again the position of this country in its American relations and lay the ghost of American imperialism. * ok ok X Because of the duty which Government owes its citizens of peace the United 8 to act in recent years E tries bordering the Caribbean Sea. It has intervened in revolution-torn Nicaragua and used its good offices to restore peace and build up economically that country, and also has acted similarly in Haiti and Santo Domingo. The United States also has taken a firm stand with regard to the protection of Ameri- can lives and property along the Mexican bor- der and in Mexico. During the Wilson admin- istration, American forces were landed in Vera Cruz and a punitive expedition was sent into Mexico after Villa, headed by Gen. Pershing. These steps by the United States, taken for the protection of its citizens and for the fur. the American and the cause felt called upon eral of the coun- therance of peace in the Western Hemisphere, in have been denounced some of the Latin American press as evidence of imperialistic de- signs of this country. Since the projection of the Sixth International Conference of American States reports have appeared in the press, both in Latin America and in the United States, to the effect that the Central and South American republics and Mexico would seek to curb the United States and that bitter discussions of American policy would arise at the conference. * % %k % Indications are, however, on the eve of the conference, that a better spirit will prevail. Critics of the American policies in some of the Latin American countries have believed that Mexican representatives at the Pan-American Congress in Havana would lead In the attack upon the United States. But in recent months the reiations between the governments of the two republics of North America hav# improved. The controversy over the oil ficlds in Mexico, developed by American citizens and American capital, is in a fair way to he settled. The Supreme Court of Mexico has held against retroactive features of the Mexican land and petroleum laws which would prevent Americans from holding title to oil lands. President WOMAN VOTERS MAY DETERMINE Coolidge to Lay Ghost of Iniperialism Calles and the Mexican Congress have taken steps to amend the laws in conformity with the decision of the court. Dwight Morrow, the newly appointed Ambassador from the United States to Mexico, has aided in bettering rela- tions, and the flight of Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh from Washington to Mexico City and his reception in that capital have added to the friendly feeling of the two peoples. In Nicaragua, too, the situation has been vastly improved. The United States has made it quite clear that It does not propose elther to hold a protectorate over that country or to intervene in its affairs, beyond the mere protection of American lives and property and its rights in the interoceanic canal route, for which this country paid Nicaragua $3,000,000. * K Kk K The Government of the United States, it is clear from the determination of President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg of the State Department to attend the opening of the Pan- American Congress, attaches no little impor- tance to the occasion. The delegation to the congress, representing the United States, is composed of outstanding men and is headed by Charles Evans Hughes, former Secretary of State. Mr. Hughes is highly regarded in Latin America. The other members of the American lelegation are Henry P, Fletcher, American Am- bassador to Italy, who has held diplomatic posts in Chile, Mexico and Cuba; Dwight W. Morrow, American Ambassador to Mexico, and already a favorite in that country; former Sen- ator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, who served as a_member of the American delega- tion to the Washington conference on problema of the Pacific and naval limitation in 1920-21; former Judge Morgan'J. O'Brien, James Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford University; Dr. Leo S. Rowe and the American Ambassador to Cuba, Noble B. Judah, The President and Mr. Kellogg are not delegates, of course, to the Pan-American Con- gress. They go as gues President Coolidge invited to Havana by President Machado. But it has been made clear that his visit to Havana at this time is no mere feturn visit for the hospitality of this country to President Machado during the last year. He Is going to Havana at this time because of the meeting of the Pan-American Congress and to evince the interest of this Government in that gathering. The President will deliver an ad- dress, but Secretary Kellogg plans no address. What s said will be said by the head of the American Government and with the full dig- nity and effect of that office. * %k ¥ X In addition to the President and the Secre. tary of State and a delegation of important Americans, the Latin American delegates will have a visit from America's “Lone Eagle,” Col. Lindbergh, who has proved this country most happy unofficlal ambassador in Europe, as well as in the Western Hemisphere. It is clear that the United States is bestirring itselt to show to its sister republics its good will and to disprove charges of imperialiem. President Coolidge is leaving the United States in order to attend the Pan-American Congress. Seldom has a President left this country to go to foreign soll during his in- cumbency. The fact that Mr., Coolidge is tak- ing this step now adds to the significance of his attendance at the meeting of the American re- publics. In the early days it was a tradition AMERICAN that Presidents of the United States remain within the boundaries of this country. This tra- dition was broken first by P'resident Roosevelt, who journeyed to the Panama Canal Zone, which after all is American territory. Presi- dent Taft also went to Panama and met Presi- dent Diaz of Mexico at the International Bridge across the Rio Grande. Most important, how- ever, of the visits of American Presidents to foreign soil were the trips which President ‘Woodrow Wilson made to Europe in 1918 and 1919 for the purpose of attending the peace conference at the close of the World War. Mr. ‘Wilson was out of this country for six months, leaving here first December 6, 1918, and re- turning February 24, 1919, He left this country again for rope March 7, 1919, and landed in this country on July 5 of the same year. Presi- dent Wilson went himself as a delegate to the peace conference, but he took with him no more impressive delegation than the American delegation to the coming Pan-American Con- gress. During his stay abroad President Wilson visited many countries, including France, Eng- land, Ttaly, Belgium. Mr. Coolidge, according to his present plans, will set foot on foreign soil only once, in Cuba. This stay, if present plans are carried out, will be no longer than 48 hours. Mr. Coolidge will make the trip from Key West on the battleship Texas, flagship of the fleet. The draught of the Texas is too great for the Florida Harbor and she will lie outside until a destroyer conveys the presidential party from Key West to the battleship. Should the weather be bad, President and Mrs. Coolidge will be spared the discomfort of travel on the battle- «hip and will be taken instead in a cruiser and transferred to the Texas at Havana, for the battleship will be the presidential headquarters during his visit to Cuba, * ok ok ok The original plan was that the President should live on the battleship during his stay, thus technically remaining on American terri- tory. That plan was abandoned, however, and it is expected that the President will accept the hospitality of President Machado and reside at the President’s Palace. Ordinarily the Presi- dent might be expected to reside at the Ameri- can embassy. But the embassy is relatively small. Mr. Judah, the new Ambassador, has not had time to fit up the mansion he will oc- cupy later. The President can occupy one wing of President Machado’s Palace and be entirely isolated from the rest. ‘When President Wilson went to Europe he and his retinue traveled aboard the George Washington. During his long stay in Europe, Mr. Wilson still continued to function as Presi- dent, although critics attempted at the time to prove that his absence from the United States disqualified him. Senator Sherman'of Illinols at the time introduced a resolution ‘to confer powers of the President upon Vice President Marshall, but nothing came of it. and Mr. Wil mon carried on as President. He returned to this country at the close of Congress in March, 1919, and signéd many bills awaiting his ap- proval. President Coolidge will be out of the U'nited States such a brief period that his absence can scarcely interfere at all with his performing his dutles as President. President Coolidge is to make one speech on January 16. The program is still’ to be finally approved. The President may receive the delegates to the Pan.American Congress on the night of the 16th aboard the Texas, or he ‘wait until the next day. (Continued on Tenth Page.) AIRCRAFT MODELS BY FRANK H. SIMONDS. ONDON.—We, in America, with a presidential election begin- ning to cast its shadow across all events political, might, per- haps, find a certain measure of interest in seeing the British people a little more vaguely approaching the same test of democracy, were it only possible to find in the British situa- tion anything to recall our own. But exactly this is lacking. Some time during the first Tuesday after the first Monday next November we shall repair to the appropriate place and mark our ballot either Re- publican or Democratic. Despite a certain showing of minor opportuni- ties, this is all the real choice left us. In Britain no one knows when the election will come. It may not ar- rive until 1929. It may come within three months. It will certainly come on the first day that the party in power sees the slightest promise of a change for the better, because the party in power can choose the time. But never has any party in power seen so long and uninterrupted a run of bad pros- pects. Thus the Baldwin government may have to go on to a natural death, when its constitutional period is over. Angry at One Another. ‘Then, so far from having a simple American choice between two parties, neither utterly obnoxious to its own followers, one might almost say with- out exaggeration that the Pritish electors, who will have to choose be- tween three parties, Tory, Labor and Liberal, are approximately as angry at one as at another. They want to vote against all three. No party in power was ever more unpopular than the present Tory government. To be sure, no party in power in Britain could be popular very long, now. The main business of government is to impose and col- lect taxes. The chief recommenda- tion of any government is its ability to reduce taxes. But the present British government has had no luck in tax reduction. While the whole country is literally staggering under the burden of taxation, only the death of two or three citizens, magnificent in the upper brackets. as we would say, may serve to bring in death duties enough to balance the budget this year. There is too the other vital issue of prosperity. If the party in power, particularly that party which bases its claim to power on capacity to gov- ern cannot provide prosperity, it is, at the outset, out of luck. And the ‘Tory party has not brought prosper- ity.” The coal trade is flat. The tex- tile trade is only a shade less flat than the coal. The million of unem- ploved tends to increase. ‘When President Coolidge and Mr. Mellon and Mr. Hoover put out re- ports which set forth the length and breadth of American prosperity, you could almost hear the sigh that came from millions of Britons. If Calvin Coolidge. prospectively out of a job on March 4, 1929, really wants a good opening, there is one waiting for him in London. If we are, perhaps. a shade weary of economy in America. in Britain the appetite surpasses all known supply.

BRITISH FAIRLY CRYING FOR POLITICAL LEADERS Differences Increase So Fast That Party Lines No Longer Are Being Put First. and those who stand still hecause the only possible motion is in his com- ny. Nobody wants Baldwin again, no- body wants MacDonald again, but most people would rather have either MacDonald or Baldwin than Lloyd George. 1f the Tories go into the op- position, it will be hard to prevent Winston Churchill from leading them in the House of Commons, because he is the best fighter they have. Cry for Leadership. At bottom, the trouble in Great Britain is economic and financial. The mass of the British people are fairly crying for leadership. The difficulties have grown to the point where party lines are very far from coming first. But how can the difficulties be met when one party wants to solve them by backing capital in reducing wages and another to get over them by some form of capital levy plus a reduction of hours of labor? You have today in Britain a supreme illustration of the extent of the disaster incident to permitting political parties to be based upon class lines. Each party which represents a class desires to remedy existing evils at the expense of the other class. i For four years,” the Tory govern- ment has been engaged in the effort to restore British prosperity at the expense of the workingman. If labor got a free hand at the next election, it would undertake to achieve the same end by making capital carry the burden. ‘The man in the street has a certain notion that neither scheme will work. He wants to be governed, not by a Mussolini, much less by a Lenin, and he perceives that the Liord George type is pure demagogue. But where in all the world is he to find a leader to do the job he wants? At least a large measure of his present discontent arises from the fact that while things do not improve, despite periodical campaigns of sunshine and Pollvanna propaganda, nothing adequate is being done. On the eve of the inevitable election one of the most discussed issues is whether letting giris of vote will destroy the country. While the coal industry languishes the battle over the “flapper” vote never dies down. A long-promised debate in the House of Commons over the coal problem ended in an impassioned quarrel as to whether Mr. Baldwin should have answered the criticism in person or by deputy. When it was all over, the coal industry remained where it had been before. More Depression Now. T find more depression and more anxiety among the masses of the peo- ple than ever before since the worst days of the war. There are more evi- dences of hardship, more begzing in the streets, more public complaining. and, what is far more disturbing, more settled pessimism. ‘The average Englishman is aware— pretty acutely aware—that things are going better not merely in the United States, but France and in Germanvr, and perhaps in Italy. He is conscious of messes all over his lot—trouble in China, which has inflicted staggering losses; trouble with Russia, which arouses fresh appréhensions about In- dia: all sorts of FEuropean disturbances just across the Channel, providing new war talk—and now a dispute with the United States about naval parity.
