Tl h/lelol SLAR, WASIHLIXNGLUN. b CHLE MAY GRANT ENTRY T0 PLANES A Prospects Bright for U. S.- Argentina Air Mail Service, ““Announéed Prematurely. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD: BANTIAGO, Chile, October 1.—With the Chilean government’s promise to| consider a request for permission to flyi foreign airplanes across the country, the possibility of an air mail service bétween the United States and Argen- tina, which the Post Office Department at: Washington blandly announced would start October 12, became some- ‘what brighter today. Lieut. Coi. Arturo Meron Merino, di- rector of Chilean military aviation, re- ceived J. B. MacGregor, head of the Pan-American Grace Aifrways, Inc., yes- terday and agreed to consider a written Tequest. Considering the strong pres- sure which the State Department is exerting on both Chile and Argentina, there is a possibility of the air mail service starting next week, as Washing- ton prematurely announced. Highlights Provided. “The highlights of this comical exhibi- 0 Dally tion of so-called Washington diplomacy | m\'id! a striking iillustration of why United States is considered im- perialistic by the Latin American re- publics. The incident followed friendly discussions between the various coun- tries proposed on an air mail route to the United States, which was willing to support the cost of the service, ey awarded the contract to the Pan-American Grace Co. last May. This com[gany then assumed nego! tions wil the Chilean government toward establishing the service, Wash- ington withdrawing from the negotia- tions, until it suddenly realized a few dsys ago that these countries had scme rights in their own territories. Extensive Operations. W. R. Grace & Co. of ‘New York, which is a big factor in pan-American | alrways south of the Canal Zone, op-| erates steamship lines, offices and even chain stores in South America, taking advantage of its sub- s, qm; to carry mails, : This company presented a demand on Chile which was inconceivable in this civilized age. It virtually demanded everything except the privilege of ap- Ppointing the President. ‘What it proposed to the Chilean gov- ernment as necessary to carry the mails was the exclusive right to erect hotels along the route, the right to expropri- ate land wherever desired, the privilege of landing in 200 villages, the right to construct railroads or to hold a monop- oly on auto bus transportation. the entry ot goods without customs duties, the adoption of New York rules of in apection and other equally fanciful and nationally humiliating provisions. “Country of Savages.” “Washington must think Chile is a country of uncivilized savages,” was the comment of one member of the cabinet, ‘when the amazing three-page list of the demands of the New York corporation ‘was presented. Chile promptly rejected the i specifying in detail why it did so. Our State Department never dis- claimed responsibility for this attempt of a corporation to profit on the strength of an air-mail contract, and June 24 Chile ordered that there be no | 8ress delay in the mails. A decree was issued permitting the campany's planes to come to Santiago, crossing the frontier either at Arica on the north or Uspallata Pass on the east through the Andes. The started service July 21. company When the extension of the last 700 | miles of the proposed 6,500-mile air course between Miami and Buenos Aires Was reached, the company. on August 31%; formally advised the Chilean gov- ernment that it intended to fly plfln¢!| carrying , cargo and passengers through Uspallata Pass. ‘Washington Wakes Up. Gen, Bartolome Blanche, minister of war, replied September 10 1 privilege of using Uspallata Pass was never contemplated for going to Ar- géntina, but was merely an alternative route for reaching the United States via the Pacific Coast. Washington then awoke to the fact that the air mail, which had been announced to start Oc-. tober 12, didn't have permission to fly to - Argentina. Ambassador W. S. Culberton, on Sep- tember 20, presented an emphatic note to-the Chilean foreign office. Ambas- sador Bliss, at Buenos Aires, acting on | similar_eleventh-hour orders from the | State Department, made the same rep- resentations to Argentina. far both countries are obdurate. That's how the Columbus day inaugu- ration of the air mail between the United States and Argentina now stands. The mail which the United States t office is now receiving may fly, and then again it may not. 1 (Copyright, 1928, by the Chicago Daily ne.) | ews. URGE RADICAL CHANGE *'FOR BUS AND RAIL LINES| Leaders Express Fear of Ever-In-| creasing Private Motor Car Competition. By the Associated Press. 1 'ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., October 1. «Radical improvements in equipment, sales methods and personnel in local trapsortation companies, operating rail cars and busses, were strongly advo- cated by leaders of the indusrty today in the opening session of the American Electric Rallway Association conven- tion. Nothing short of the proposed changes will head off the ever-increas- ing encroachments of private motor car competition, it was declared. James P, Barnes of Louisville, presi- dent, fired the opening shot by declar- ing the industry “must snap out of jts complancency, think straight and act boldly.” Committee reports indicated a general *“sprucing up” of employes throughout the industry.

Reports of the accident indi- cated that Schmidt, Roberts and two others were hunting for a mountain lion about a mile up the hill from the Tiger Mine. Schmidt was wearing a brown Jacket and crouched in some small brush. Roberts, seeing the form moving in the small bushes, fired at it. (CLOSE VOTE SEEN ONFLEABLE PLA Senate Expects First Ballot to Be Held Today or Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. The Senate today approached a vote in its controversy over the flexible pro- visions of the tariff bill, with the out- come increasingly doubtful. The addition of Senator Steck, Dem- ocrat, Iowa, to the support of the regu- |lar Republicans, who, with President {Hoover, hope to retain the seven-yea: jold_principle, tended to bear out the claim of their leader, Chairman Smoot lof the finance committee, to several Democratic votes. On the other hand, leaders of the iDemocrats and independent Repub- ‘h:ana, who seek to take from the Exec- utive his power to change tariff rates upon recommeidation of the Tariff Commission, continued to express con- | fidence in the outcome, Issue May Be Close. A vote today was regarded as prob- able as the week opened, but the trend of the controversy has made tomorrow | apparently the earliest a ballot could be expected. Despite the claims of a ma- Jority by both sides, members of each group still recognize that a single vote may decide the issue. In aligning himself with the Repub- lican leaders, Senator Steck, like his colleague, Senator Fletcher of Florida, i voiced regret at his inability to stand with the majority of his colleagues in demanding curtailment of the Presi- dent's power. He held that flexible pro- visions in the present law had, in the imain, been administered to the benefit jof American farmers, labor men and industry. The Senate today had before it a | wide range of proposals from which to select in reaching its decision on the issue. Smoot is sponsoring an | amendment which would have the ef- | fect of writing into the bill a flexible provision very similar to that in the | Fordney-McCumber act. Two Democratic Proposals. The Democrats have two proposals, one to repeal the flexible provision and | & substitute for this to confine the ! the flexible principle to reporting Tariff | Commission " recommendations to Con- They also are supporting the proposal by Senator = Norris, Repub- lcan independent of Nebraska, who favors their substitute, to restrict Con- gress, in taking up such recommenda- rates aflected. Still another_has been advanced by Senator N Republican independent of North Dakota, which would continue the President’s authority to raise or lower rates, but would give elither house of Congress power to nullify his { action by resolution within after he proclaims the change.
