Dirigibles in War
Doctor Eckener mad.e two most

is concerned, according to ar?hy -and
navy officers who have been study-
ing the situation since. One was
that the dirigible would not be an
effective weapon in war today. He
said they would be easy Victims of

which makes him rather a veteran.
He has developed quite a" streak of
insurgency, being out. of sympathy

Spain, as Italy did
likewise. Der Fuehr-
er warned that the'
Nazis would take in-
dependent action to
protect themselves
"from attacks by t!h .
Spanish government . He described
how Germany had . been condemned
for shelling Almeria after a Spanish
airplane had bombed the cruiser
Deutschldrid, and how, when the
cruis&r Leipzig was 'attacked *by a
submarine while on patrol duty, the
non-intervention committee had
done nothing al>out it - _ . J .
A remedy suggested by Great-Brit*
a in and France, was that the patrol
duty be left entirely to them, with
Italian observers on T rench patrol
ships.and German observers on
ish ships4,p "judge the equitable, im-
partial working of '.he system."
Germany and I'aly lost little time
in refusing to pjcept the proposal.
Sir Neville Ch .mberlam called the
British cabin' c imp see what might
be done, brc it was generally be-
lieved that if the Fascists continued
in their rolicy of refusing to co-op-

Some ZmbarrassTnent
But there is a slight embaTfEtss-
, ment on the part of the White
House to make an appointment so
obviously to clear Ihe way to put-
ting the* President'# son in the
house, kicking a man upstairs to
get rid of his vote is something else
again. It is one of the most often
"used political device's! Sometimes'
it does not work, as when President
Coolidge "promoted" Senator . Wil-
li afn S.. Kenyon to be a judge at a
time when Kenyon as a-progressive
senator was a "thorn in the' adminis-
tration's 'side: But Kenyon was

Doctor Eckener's remarks along

Seek U. S. Help
The German drive to have the
United States join hi development
of dirigible transatlantic travels
continues, but it seems unlikely to
be authorized this ye^r. Dr. fiirgo
Eckener, most successful navigator
of dirigibles so far, is most persua-
sive. He has met most of the ar-
guments against the idea. "But twJ>
of ttie^rgui^entR he ha3 met most
effectively promise to stay the hand
of congress for this session.
One of, the objections, of course,"
is the shock .still remaining from
the Hindenburg tragedy Every one,
including oi^r-naval expeHs, agrees
that.this would ndt have been.a dis-
aster at all had the big bag been
filled with helium instead of explo-
sive hydrogen. But the fact remains
that so many people throughout the
country were and still are-shocked
at the HindenbUrg disaster, "and still-
remember that this ended the last
#delusion about- lighter than air
'transport—the „ delusion that the
Germans at least had solved the
problem—that, there Is no popiilir

The other-argument is wrapped up

not two per cent, because they do
not have tokens to split pennies."
