PLANES ARE HELD - GOOD-HILL FACTOR {Hoover Hopes to See Ameri- cas Connected by Com- mercial Airship Route. BY REX COLLIER, ! Staff Correspondent of The Star on the Hoover South American Good 11 Trip. Being distinctly “air-minded,” Presi- | | dent-elect Herbert Hoover foresees in aviation an all-compelling factor in the | linking together of the two Americas in | closer bonds of friendship. | " Those links were forged a little | stronger during his eventful mission good will to the Latin American repub- lics. He looks to the distance-erasing | airplane to carry on the good work Undoubtedly Mr. Hoover was deeply | impressed by the marked progress be- | ing_made by Europeans in development | of ‘South American aviation. Paris h | been brought within nine or ten days| | of Buenos Aires by a weekly plane-and- | ship service established under subsi | of the French government. German in- terests have operated commercially suc- | ful air lines in Colombia for eight years. The British are getting active. | | too. The only American service of any | consequence is being dev eloped in Peru. H Washington Has Advantage. | | If planes thus are able to bring Paris within ten days of the great east coast | capitals of South America, Washington could be brought within five days or less of the same cities, for we would | have the advantage of traversiny the whole route by air. the air journey from Washington to Sa | Chile, by way of the west coast, cou {be made in probably 50 flying hou | under favorable pioneer flying cond: | tions, it is declared. ‘Two possible north-and-south airways from North to South America have been brought to the attention of the Presi- dent-clect. One, the westerly route, he regards as highly feasible. The east coast route admittedly is fraugint with difficulties from the standpoint of prac- ticability. ~The vast and forbidding waste lands of the interior of Brazil interpose as a menacing ohstacle to short cuts. The alternative is to round the great hump of Brazil to Pernam- buco and then swing inward again to Rio and Buenos Aires. A glance ai the map will show that the shorter reute to those cities would be by way of the west coast and thence from Santiago over the Andes. But here, again, the mighty Andes form a threatening barrier. Doolittle Conquered Andes. The Andes have been conquered by air. Our own Jimmy Doolittle of the Army hopped over the snow-capped peaks with a pair of broken ankles, Jjust to show it could be done under the most adverse circumstances. But even that doesn’t prove that commercial planes could do it as a matter ot course, even though their pilots managed to find passengers daring enough to make the hazardous trip. It is understood, however, that Hoover believes a combination rail-and-plane service between Santiago and Buenos Aires would prove practicable. He learned, in fact, that experiments al- ready have been made along that line with considerable success. The plan involved the use of planes from San- tiago to Los Andes, on the Chilean side of the mountains, and thence by Trans- | andean Railroad to Mendoza, on the Ar- gentine side. From Mendoza the route would be by plane across the rolling pampas to Buenos Aires, a compara- tively simple undertaking. There the line would connect with the French transatlantie service. The French air-sea life is at ambi- tious enterprise, nourished by several millions of dollars yearly from the French treasury. The air route runs from Paris via Toulouse to Dakar, in Senegal, on the western coast of Africa, and thence by fast transatlantic steamer to Pernambuco, where planes again take up the work along the eastern sea- coast of Brazil to Rio and on southward | to Montevideo and Buenos Aifes. The | service between Paris and Rio de Janeiro ; is maintained regularly, principally ior | mail transportation, although passenger service is the aim. Between Rio and Buenos Aires the service is not yet fully | developed. Would Shorten Route. It now is proposed to shorten . this, transatlantic route even more by ex- tending the air journey as rar as .the Cape Verde Islands, off the African coast, and from the Brazlian side as far as the Island of Fernando Noronha. Fast steamships would connect ' tbe island stations. German operations have been almost | wholly in Colombia. Uncle Sam has had this brought forcibly to his notice. in a first-hand way, for the Post Office Department has conducted singulariy | unsuccessful air mail negotiaticns with the German company controlling the air lines in that country. British con- | | cerns have interested themsclves in | South American air progress 1o & lim- | ited extent. None of the Eurov2ans has met much competition from the United | States, except in Peru, where consider- | able advances have been made. Thfl'l‘,; are a number of American-controlled | air lines in that country. American aviation progress in Peru | has laid the foundation for an Ama- zonian transcontinental air service.} There is a well established airway from ! ! Lima to Iquitos, on the headwaters of | the Amazon, whence seaplanes could carry mail and passengers to the ram- bling mouths of the great river of rivers. The problem of reaching South Amer- jca from the United States is a_com- ‘The United States Government already has undertaken to establish an air mail line to Panama. As has been pointed out, Colombia is well supplied with German-built air- ways., Ecuador is barely in the air picture at present, but Peru with its American lines and Chile with its mili- tary aviation service lend an encourag- ing ect to the air vision which lin- gers in the Hoover memory. Heavy Outlay Necessary. The eastern air route to the eastern capitals of South America from Pana- ma would require a large financial ot lay for the sctting up of adequate sa guards for the planes. That route con- templates cutting across Colombia to the headquarters of the Amazon and then following that river to its mouth, where a base would be established. Thence the planes might follow the | | | | | coast line or even venture some distance inland across the great unsettled spaces | Going far inland would be disastrous, for there would be encountered jungle fastnesses from | Which victims of a forced landing could | lifornia Fig Syrup| failed to do Not}t | ments d b energv ow; long as it is| } in the little ls.

The course is over a section of reilroad inland to Santiago. Manifestly, aviation in South Amer- ica has just reached the threshold of development. It is in its early pioncer- ing stages. Airways, sclentifically lo- cated and constructed, must be laid out. | Beacons and other equipment for night flying must_be introduced. Landing fields must be provided at convenient noints.

CHICAGO PHONE WAR BATTLE LINES DRAWN “Users League” Or;~nized by Drug, Hotel, Confectioners Groups to Aid in Protest. ¢ | By the Assoclated Pre: CHICAGO, Janua 11.—The “Tele- | phone Users League” has been organized by members of Chicago hotel, druggist and confectioner associations, protest- ing the action of the Illinois Bell Tele- phone Co. in reducing commissions paid on income from public telephone booths. Stormy debate took place last night at the mass meeting at which the league was organized. Tracy Drake, head of the Drake and Blackstone Hotels, an- nounced that he would issue dn order immediately to the phone company to remove its booths from his hotels. The plan of the league is to present its grievances to the Iilinois Commerce Commisison and the city council. ‘The new contract offered by the com- pany calls for the payment of 221: per cent of booth receipts instead of as high as 50 per cent. COXEY VHAS'DEBT PLAN. Tells Mellon Foreign Nations Could Issue Legal Tender to U. S. “Gen.” Jacob S. Coxey »f Ohio, who led his famous “army” on Washington more than 30 years ago yesterday rec- ommended to Secretary of the Treas- ury Mellon that foreign nations simply issue money similar to United States legal tender and pay it to the United States in “full payment” of their war debts to this country. In a personal conference with ths Secretary at the Treasury Department, the “general” suggested that this foreign money should be put into circulation in the United States by special act of Congress. The total of the war debts now stands at about $11,433,000,000. Are Pay for a New Seventh Street show $1 a week. LIBERAL allowgiices given on your old watch.
