The American people can {ll afford to pay that price a second time.” The government is concerned that there should be at least “an ade- quate nucleus” capable of rapid ex- pansion to meet war needs, the re- port continued, To that end it rec- ommended s to remedy substan- tially “the existing bad condition,” but declared that proposals either to increase the volume of government orders for alrcraft or to allot such orders withouteregard to competitive bidding would not meet the necls- sity. The committee suggested four moves to produce the neceseary types or alrcraft at reduced cost and also assure manufacturers of ade- quate peace time markets. The steps to be taken by the aircraft builders were to read just plans to a peace- time basis immediately and for spe- cialization in particular types of ships with a view to “gradual rec- ognition of proprietory rights in new designs.” Those suggested for the government were to fit a balanced production program for the army, navy and post office with needs and types made known a year in ad- vanee, and to place orders for differ- ent types “at such intervals as to in- sure continuity of production and the gradual development of special facilities and skill by each manu- facturer in the production of a given type of aircraft.”” While the air mail service, par- ticularly with its present efforts to- ward night flying, was classed as “the, most important development in aviation today,” so far as stimulating development of commercial aviation xoes, the report pointed out that the chief reason for faster commercial | flving progress In Europe was a military consideration. “They realize more keenly thau we do in America, the vital neces- sary of aviation to national defense,” the committee said, adding that commerclal aviation had been en- couraged overseas "in a very prac- tical way, principally by subsidizing | common carriers by air.” “In the United States,” it was add- 4, *direct subsidy appears to be ont of the question because of our ad- herence to a traditional policy. In onr country, aviation must make fts | own way." | While speed and maneuyerability | might be prime military factors for aircraft, civil aviation required more in the way of safaty in operation and low cost of equipment and mainte- nance, the report said. The point | where these economic factors with | aircraft justified general use of air rontes had not been reached In the United States, it added, | As general recommendations the hoard suggested: | The continnous prosecution of | scientific research work. | Confinnation of the air mail serv. under the post office depart- ment with the ground equipped for | night flying from New York to San Francisco, Steps to increase the reliability and economy of operation of com- mercial aircraft, with reasonable regulation of flers and flying fields and necessary alds to navigation along designated national airways. Continned study of the air defense problems and continued support of aviation development in the . army and navy. ! In transmitting the report Presi- dent Coolidge concurred in the gen- eral recommendations and agreed “that in the last analysis substantial progress in aviation is dependent upon the continuous prosecution of scientific research.” “Through the work of this com- mittee,” he said, “the talent of Americh has been marshalled in the scientific study of the problems of flight, with the vesult that today America occuples a position in the forefront of progressive nations in the technieal department of aero- nauties' Last of Light | Brigade Is Dead Cedar Rapids, Towa, Dec. 8.— | Elils H.
