FORTY-SECOND YEAR—NO. 143
oPROCTOR GIVES LIE TO DR. BUTLER
AERIAL FREIGHT
LINERS TO COVER
NATION MAPPED
3,000 big Planes Brought
To U. S. For
Service
N. E. A. Staff Special.
CLEVELAND, June 15.—Ameri
ca is to have the first all-freight
commerical airplane service in the
world.
Within a month the first planes
will win gtheir way between New
York and Chicago and before the end
of the year, huge ships will carry
thousands of pounds of freight from
coast to coast.
This is the prediction of James
Randolph Walker, New York capital
ist, and one of the backers of the
$15,090,000 Aerial Transport Cor
poration here which has purchased,
he says, 3,000 British war planes for
exclusive freight service in the Unit
ed States.
Have 200 Planes Now.
“We have 200 planes in New
York harbor now and by July 4 we
expect to establish the first unit of
our continental network of airlines,
says Walker. “We will have a two
each-way-each-day service between
New York and Chicago and as rapidly
as traffic warrants we will establish
feeder lines to our four stopping
points alonge the route. With the
exception of Cleveland, we have not
definitely decided upon the other
cities to be made main line stops.’
The company includes some of
America’s finest technical experts
and pilots. Colonel Joseph A. Jor
dan, who mapped the air routes for
the first aerial mail service; Com
mander P. N. L. Belmger, pilot of
the histronic NC-1 in her transatlan
tic flight, and Colonel R. S. Hartz,
of the Martin “round the rim''
are among the operating olii
“It was the success of the govern
ment air mail service that decided us
to form this company,” Walker said.
“Mail is now being carried cheaper
and faster by air than by train. We
have been assured of a 100 per cent
load by the American Express Com
pany, but it is probable that we will
bid on some mail contracts also.
To Keep 30 Planes in Air.
No passengers will be carrier by
the transport company’s planes.
hTe planes purchased t>y the com
pany for the most part are DeHavi
land type planes with a cargo ca
pacity of 350 pounds, but there are a
large number of Handley-Page planes
with a capacity of l,ol)0 to 2,000
pounds. , ...
“Our transcontinental service will
require us to keep about 30 planes in
the air all of the time,’ says Walker.
“We have gone back to the old over
land stage system —the pony express.
The loan will start in one plane ana
be shifted a dozen times to other
planes in its way across the conti
■Bent. We 11 cut at least a day and
probably more from the railway
Colonel Hartz thinks that within
a few years there will be planes abole
to make the transcontinental flight
“straight through.”
f our cross country lines are plan
ned. One will run from New York
through Cleveland and Detroit to
Chicago, thence to Fargo, N. D., to
Bismarck, N. D., Glendive, Mont.,
Helena, Mont., Coeur de Alene, Id.,
Spokane, Wash., and to Seattle and
Victoria, B. C. Another route will
run through Chicago, Des Moines
la., Omaha, Neb., North Platte, Neb.,
Denver, Col., Salt Dake City, Utah,
Carson City, Nev., Sacramento and
San Francisco.
Route Has Branch.
Still another route is planned from
New York, Pittsburg, Harrisburg,
Columbus, 0., Indianapolis, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Topeka, Kan., Michita,
Kan., (with a branch through Dallas,
Waco and Houston to Galveston,
Tex.) through New Mexico to San
Diego, Los Angeles .Fresno, Stock
ton and Sacramsnto.
The fourth route would skirt the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, include New
Orleans and join with the third route
in Arizona.
The company plans to concentrate
its efforts first at establishing practi
cal service in what it , call “Zone
•One,” the New York-CAfeago zone,
with its feeder lines c»*ering the
eastern and eastern mksdle west
states. “At the same time it is prob
able,” says Walker, “that within three
months the first sea to sea freight
carrier will leave its eastern air
port.”

BY HARRY E. BENEDICT
(Easiness Associate of Frank A. Vanderlip, and Secretary of the
American Delegation to the “Unofficial Conference on Japanese-
American Affairs” at Tokio.)
Copyright, 1920, Newspaper Enterprise Association.
I believe the American people are
interested in the problems discussed
by the Vanderlip
party with their '
distinguished Jap- j
anese confreres in
Tokio.
Some of them ■
have to do with the
development o f
that vast area of
the Orient—of Chi
n a, Manchuria,
Mongolia and Si
beria—with a pop
ulation of more
than four hundred
millions.
They have to do
with points of fric-
I Sene did
tion that might conceivably plunge
the world again into the turmoil of
war.
And in the solution of these prob
lems Japan must, whatever may be
the prejudice or opposition of other
peoples, play an important role.
In one of the first days of the con
ference, Mr. Fujiyama, President of
the Tokio Chamber of Commerce, a
tall, dignified figure told the story of I
Japan’s economic situation today with !
such clarity and compelling force ;
that I believe no better picture can I
be given in brief compass; and a true i
understanding of this situation will
form a background essential to an in
telligent consideration of Japan’s pol- >
icies and ambitions in the Far East. '
“The position of Japan is a very !
delicate one,” said Mr. Fujiyama.
“She stands between the East and the I
West. She must find some relief for
her tremendous growing population.
If we are prevented from expanding
in America or China, how are we go
ing to live?
Can’t Raise Enough Rice
“Japan is not a self-supporting na
tion. She is compelled to import mucn
industrial raw material. We cannot
raise enough food-stuffs. The terri
tory of Japan is very limited, with
population increasing at the rate of
about 600,000 a year. There is the
problem today.
“China is vast and rich in raw ma
terials. We can get our raw materials
from that country, but to do that we
must have the sympathy of both Chi-.
na and America. Japan has never i
been able to produce enough rice I
during the best harvests to supply
her own people. It has been necessary ■
to import from other countries.”
Here the tall, gaunt man paused.
His next words were prophetic, and
he asked a question that America and ;
other nations cannot ignore. Japan is i
entitled to an answer, whatever that
answer may be. In a few brief sen- j
fences the question of the future of
the Japanese people was laid before
the conference, laid indeed before t’.e
whole Western World.

AMERICUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 15 1920
dom of expansion economically, or
else we must starve and return to
the state of a hermit nation.
‘ Japan has made great progress in
the past sixty years. Are you going
to put us down where we were sixty
years ago? I have stated repeatedly
that Japan is in no way except eco
nomically and industrially trying to
promote her trade, and it is in this
that we need your sympathy and as
sistance. Through our economic prob
lems we hope to solve the problem of
our population, and Japan has no am
bition for political expansion.
“In our war with China and Russia
you are, I know, fully aware that we
did not invade these countries for any
political or military expansion; but
fought in self-defense, in defense of
our national existence.
“Mistakes have been made, and
have created suspicions, but before
acting on a suspicion, you should ex
amine into the facts. If you will in
vestigate these facts, I believe you
will find that Japan, on the whole
has tried her very best always to do
the right thing.
‘lf we could be accepted as the
Japan of today instead of the Japan
ot sixty years ago we would have
no complaint. The Japan of today has
tried during these last years to live
up to the best standards of Western
civilization.
New Lands or Starve”
T ask you this question: What
would you have us do in order to ac
complish our national aim, our eco
nomic ambitions? We would like to be
a respected member of the nations
We have done our best during the
past sixty years, and have succeeded
m rising. iou do not propose to beat
us down now.
‘‘lf you do not want Japanese la
borers, on account of domestic diffi
culties, we accede to your proposals,
as we have always tried to do. But if
you say to us, you must not come to
America, and you must not go to
China, or anywhere else, what are we
going to do?”
Japan’s problem is the problem of
er , 57 millions, increasing
600,000 each year. She must indu£
trialize. as England and Germanv did
until she can sell to the world' and
buy here necessary food; or she must
find new lands, friendly lands if pos
sible, for the people she cannot feed
at home; or—she must starve.
We later heard this statement al
ways put with great clarity ’ of
thought by many other leaders of Ja
pan, men in the highest commercial
financial and official circles. They
made it clear to us everywhere that
they were not appealing for Ameri
ca’s pity; they want her sympathetic
understanding of Japan’s economic
plight, and they want America’s
friendly help and guidance in Japan’s
struggle for national existence.

M’ADOO AGAINST
| FIELD IS LINEUP
OF DEMOCRATS
Rickey Finds He and
Cox Would Be Perfect
Combination
BY H. N. RICKEY,
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June 15.—Ten
j weeks ago the situation in respect of
' the campaign for the 'Democratic
! presidential nomination was McAdoo
I against the field. It is the same to
day. Barring some unforeseen devel
opment it will be the same two weeks j
hence when the convention delegates '
assemble at San Francisco.
In the view of the political 'ead
ers of both parties who follow pre-1
■convention activities closely, Mc-
Adoo’s chances have improved stead-I
ily since the race started. He is
| known to be the choice of a great!
majority of Southern delegates and'
he has a much larger following in
I the Northern states, particularly ini
ithe East and middle West, than anyj
i other candidate.
There is little doubt that had he
! desired it many delegations would
have been instructed for him and he
would today be far in the lead in the
number of instructed delegates.
Just why McAdoo refused to per
mit his friends to enter his name in
the primaries is not known. But he
took that position at the beginning
i of the campaign and has adhered to
I it consistently.
So that at San Francisco the para
dox will be presented of the man,
conceded to be the leading candidate,
having fewer pledged delegates than
any one of several of his rivals.
The “Family” Handicap.
McAdoo’s position in the race is
not due to the fact that he is the
President’s son-in-law. This rela
tionship is more of a handicap than
a help. For entirely apart from the
question of Mr. Wilson’s popularity
or unpopularity, neither the politi
cians nor the voters are very keen
about passing the presidency around
in the family.
If McAdoo is nominated it will be
in spite of the fact that he happen
ed to have married the President’s
daughter.
If he isn’t nominated it will be be
cause the party leaders feel that be
ing the President’s son-in-law dis
qualifies him.
So that in the final analysis Mc-
Adoo’s success or failure at San i
Francisco will hinge on this ques-l
' tion.
There are many compelling reasons(
in McAdoo’s favor from the political \
| standpoint.
| He is from New lYork, and if any
i Democrat can beat the Republican.
candidate in New York this year Me-;
| Adoo is the man. As secretary of
'the treasury McAdoo canie into inti-!
mate contact with the New York fi-|
nancial interests, and while it has
never been intimated that he did any
thing for them, they would not be as
hostile to him as to a democrat of the
western type.
Labor is for McAdoo as much as
it is for any candidate of the old
parties. As railroad administrator
during the war McAdoo gave the
railway employes what they consid
er a square deal. The fact that he
i has been criticized for having dealt
too generously with the railway em
ployes has attached the latter to him
all the more strongly.
McAdoo is the only candidate fol
the Democratic nomination who may
Jbe said to have a national reputa
tion.
Palmer comes nearer to being in
■ McAdoo's class in this respect than
I any of the others, but Palmer’s cam-
I paign for the nomination fizzled out
! before it really got started and is
| no longer taken spiiously by anyone,
' possibly excepting himself.
The candidacy of Governor Cox, of
I Ohio, next to that of McAdoo, meets
(with most favor among democratic.
■ leaders and uninstructed delgates. I
Cox’s geography, while not so ;
j good as McAdoo’s, is next best, as I
j Ohio is one of the states the demo- j
crats must carry to win, and Cox is:
the strongest bid they could make
for the Ohio vote. Particularly is
this so now since Harding, an Ohio I
man, heads the republican ticket.
If by any chance the San Francis
co convention should decide that the j
only hope for Democratic success lies ■
jin nominating a man who has not (
been connected with the Wilson ad-1
ministration, Cox will probably be the j
first man considered.
That there will be more than a
few delegates who will take this view
is certain. That they will be num
erous enough to control the conven
tion is extremely doubtful.
What is far more likely to happen
is that McAdoo will be nominated
for president and Cox for vice-pres
ident.
Geographically this would be a per
fect combination from the democratic
standpoint.
Such a ticket would have many
other elements of strength.
Both McAdoo and Cox are splen
did campaigners and could be de
pended upon to make the most ag
gressive fight possible for Democrat
ic principle*. a i

NEIGHBORHOOD
‘SING’ NOVELTY
ATPLAYGROUNDi
Flag Day Appropriately
Observed by Evening
of Music
At the community house at the!
playground last night Flag Day was!
appropriately observed by a neigh- i
borhood “sing,” the first occasion of'
its kind to be staged since the estab-!
lishment of the playground here. J.!
Ralston Cargill presided and about |
100 persons attended, all of these
participating in the community sing
ing which featured the event. In
strumental music was furnished by!
an orchestra composed of Prof. Don
ald Drunkenmiller, Mr. and Mrs. J.
E. Johnson, Rev. Guyton Fisher, Will
Barlow, Egbert Clark, J. W. Mos- i
teller, Jr., and Carroll Clark. Vo-;
calists who participated in the pro-!
gram were Miss Melva Clark, Miss
Anna Murray, Miss Emmie Morgan,
Mrs. J. W. Harris, Jr., George O.
Marshall, Gordon Howell, R. P.
Stackhouse, Jr., and Walter Tiede
man.
The program began with com
munity singing, led by J. Ralston
Cargill, after the orchestra had ren
dered selceiionc, and the entire pro
gram was interspersed with the com
munity songs, rendered with spirit
and enthusiasm.
Quartets Sing.
A woman’s quartet, composed of
Mrs. J. W. Harris,,Jr., Mrs. Frank
Anderson, Miss Emmie Morgan and
Miss Anna Murray, was th,e first
scheduled number. These ladies sang
a medley of negro dialet spirituals
that was enjoyed by all, and Miss
Melva Clark then sang beautifullly,
“If You Would Love Me,” and
“You’re a Million Miles From No
where,” her melodious soprano filling
the whole house with the volume of
its tones, and she was roundly en
cored by her bearers. A male quar
tet, composed of Gordon Howell,
Geor’ge O. Marshall, Walter Tiede
man and R. P. Stackhouse, Jr., then
sang “Soft and Low,” and as an en
core, “Old Black Joe,” the latter mel
ody particularly appealing to the as
semblage. The progaam was ended
with community singing, “Love’s Old
Sweet Song,” being chosen.
At the community club house on
the playground property tonight
there will be a mass meeting of the
friends of the playground. The meet
ing will begin promptly at 8 o’clock
and the finance committee of the
playground organization will have an
interesting statement to make to
those who are interested in the play
ground and making it permanent here
are urged to be present at this meet
ing, and after the business before
the meeting is disposed of an attrac
tive program will be rendered.
Parade in Afternoon.
In the afternoon the occasion was
observed by a parade through the
business part of the city, participat
ed in by soldiers from Souther Field,
Boy Scouts and boys and girls of
the city schools. This column form
ed at 5 o’clock at the Salvation Army
building. Gordon Howell, command
er, and John G. Holst, adjutant, of
John D. Mathis Post, American Le
gion, assisted in forming the children
and others in line, and Mrs. Frank
Sheffield and Miss Winans also as
sisted Playground Director Sherman
in the work of starting the parade.
Leading in the line of march,
which extended along Jackson street
from Church to Lamar, east on La
mar to Lee, north on Lee to For
syth, west on Forsyth to Cotton ave
nue, south on Cotton avenue to La
mar, east on Lamar to Jackson and
south on Jackson to the point of be
ginning were two squads of regular
soldiers from Souther Field. Follow
ing these, dressed in full uniform
and bearing proudly a silken Ameri-!
can flag, came the Americus troup!
of Boy Scouts, with Scoutmaster |
Silas Johnson at their head, and be
hind these marched eighteen little,
boys and girls, each carrying a small:
flag. Assistant Scoutmaster Herbert I
Moon was at the Army building when I
the parade formed but did not ac
company his boys in the line of!
march. Mrs. Sheffield, Miss Winans,
and Mr. Sherman rode in an automo-|
bile alongside the marchers.
The most interesting incident of)
the march was the singing of “Amer-1
ica” in front of the Windsor Hotel,
where the parade halted long enough
to render this patriotic song. Al)
joined in the singing and at the con
clusion of the song the march was
resumed. The dismissal at the Army
building at the conclusion of the pa
rade was without ceremony of any
kind.

WHOLLY FALSE
AND MALICIOUS
N. Y. Man Says Effort
Was Made to Buy
Nomination
CINCINNATI, June 15.—C01.
Proctor, manager of Gen. Wood’s un
successful campaign for the Repub
lican presidential nomination, today
sent a telegram to Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia Uni
versity, saying his statement, as giv
en out yesterday relative to Gen.
Wood’s support, was wholly false
and given out with malicious disre
gard for the truth.
CHARGES ATTEMPT TO
BUY VICTORY FOR WOOD.
~ June 15.—Charges
', , at a motley group of stock gam
biers, oil and mining promoters,
munition makers and other like per
sons seized upon so good a man as
General Wood and with reckless au
dacity started out to buy for him the
presidential nomination,” were made
in the statement -ven out here last
night by Nicholas Murray Butler, an
unsuccessful candidate for the Re
publican nomination.
It was cause of the genuine sor
10Wi t( L me as to many others of'Gen
eral Wood’s personal friends,” he
said, “to see him put i nthis unhap
nv position. There was nothing to
do m order to save the Republican
party but to defeat the band of men
that were behind him with their bank
accounts and their great financial in
fluence. This meant that we had
to defeat General Wood himself.”
“The forces that were defeated in
their insolent attempt to buy the
nomination,” he added, “represent all
that is worst in American business
and American political life. It is
really too bad that they hit upon
General Wood as their choice. They
should have found someone to sup
port lor whom the county has less
respect and less regard.”
lhe chief task of the conven
tion,” the statement said, “was t«
prevent the sale of presidential nom
inations at auction to the highest
bidder. Had this not been done* the
party faced not only certain defeat,
but crushing dishonor. The sixty
eight New "York delegates who voted
tor me on the first ballot were the
chief factor in stopping the Hinden
burg drive to overwhelm the conven
tion by the power of unlimited money
and by strong-arm methods in prefer
ential primaries.”
The story of New York’s sixty
eight votes for Butler shows, the
statement said, how General Wood
was defeated. It points out that the
first ballot gave General Wood a sub
stantial lead and that “the first task,
therefore, was to bring the vote of
his nearest rival, Governor Lowden,
at least up to Wood’s vote."
“It was this New York vote for
Lowden, taken from the sixty-eight
votes that had been cast for me, that
gave Lowden his lead on the fifth
ballot and that enabled him substan
tially to equal the Wood vote on the
ballot immediately following. When,
after the seventh ballot, it was clear
that Lowden could not be nominat
ed, we helped the drift toward Hard
ing and on the ninth ballot became
the decisive psychological factof by
giving Harding sixty-six votes.”
HARDING TO KEEP
SEAT IN SENATE.
WASHINGTON, June 15.—Sena
tor Harding, the Republican nomi
nee for president, does not intend to
retire from the senate until his term
expires March 4. He declared today
he did intend, however, to withdraw
the petition filed last week at Colum
bus, 0., giving notice that he was to
be a candidate for re-election to sen
ate. Friends of Harding explained
today that for him to retire from the
senate would endanger the narrow
margin of control held by the Re
publicans, as it would enable Gover
nor Cox to appoint a Democrat in
his place.
