SUPPLEMENT FAIR EDITION FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR—NO. 247 GERMANS LEAD !N INDUSTRIAL AIRCRAFT, DESPITE TREATY STRICT TREATY DOES NOT KEEP GERMANY IDLE They Have Several New Types of Planes and Are Leading Other Nations By MILTION BRONNER BERLIN, Oct 24. Taking all the barriers imposed by the Allies, crippled as to the size of their ma chines, the power of their engines and the load they can carry, the Germans, nevertheless, today are the leading comercial aviation power in the world. They have nothing like the long distance air mail service regularly carried out by Uncle Sam. But in the everyday prosaic business of car rying passengers, mail, and freight over regularly established lines they hav e the other countries almost tied to the post. And it gives the French cold shiv ers, notwithstanding that France is the strongest military aviation pow er in the world. For the Germans are building numerous factories for manufacturing planes. They are establishing airdromes all over the' Germany. They have brought into being a large body of scientifically | educated and trained air pilots and' navigators. The Council of Ambassadors of the Allies by the famous nine rules for Germany limited the engine pow er, the altitude, the speed, the char acter of the oil to be used, the use ful load of airships. But working within these limits the Germans have today cabbaged the business of a large part of Europe. There are 132 regularly establish ed air lines in the world. The Ger mans run either directly or indirect ly 62 of these. Overl9 ,000 of German air routes a?e regularly covered principally by the great Junkers and Deutsche Luft verkehrs. Only recently th e Europe Union was formed. In this combine the Germans are paramount, brut it includes Swiss Finish, Esthonian, Swedish, Danish. Latvian and Aus trian lines. Th* plan is to use only airplanes of uniform type furnished by the Junker company. This shuts out the French and British from "an extensive field for sales. In the fisrt half of 1925 the Deutsche Aero Lloydmachines cov ered 560,000 miles and carried 15,- >2OO passengers and 226,000 pounds of freight. In the sam e period Junk ers covered 812,000 miles and car ried 28,389 passengers, 280,000 pounds of freight and 75,000 pounds of mail. In six years the British, have only carried about 60,000 pas- You are Irrvitecl TO Sumter County’s Big Fair October 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 Lots To See—A Nice Time For All COME AND BRING YOUR FAMILY ?■■«>• -«». ...

The ermans have been singularly free from accidents. Everybody in Germany seems to be boosting aviation. The govern ment, not being allowed to have military air fleets is free to spend money in developing civil aviation. Recently the Ministry of Transport, in conjunction with the great air plane companies, established a school to train airmen and to give ex-army and navy-pilots a refresher course. But the most striking thing is the manner in which town after town is boosting the air services. Thus not long ago Chemnitz contributed 500,- 000 marks, of which the municipal government itself gave 200,000. This is to establish -an air service between Berlin and Chemnitz and another to Bremen byway of Leipzig and Hanover. Part of the money is al so for building an airdrome. All over Germany cities are giving land and money. The fares charged for air passen ger service are about equal to first class railw’ay fare. On long dis tances there is a saving, because the cost of sleeping cars and meals is cut out. Winter is coming. Don’t bup a car that’s hard to start unless you live on top of a hill.

SEES NEED FOR TRADING RULES Standardization of Cotton Trad ing Rules May Iron Out Dif ficulties to U. S. Shippers W ASHINGTON, Oci. 24. —Stand- ardization of cotton trading rules and contracts in the world's cotton markets would iron out many of the difficulties now experienced by’ American shippers and place the world cotton business on a more un iform basis, Dr. A. B ('ox, Depart ment of Agricultural economist de clared today following a yea* » study of European cotton markets. “Much time and money are lost in international cotton trade through the need to arbitrate disputes aris ing out of differences in trading rules, contracts and practices in the various markets,” Dr. Cox said. “No two cotton markets are alike in methods of calculating cotton tare and net weights, in the wording of contracts, and as regards length *of staple on which the contract is bas ed. It is difficult for the smaller firms, and especially those just get ting into the business, to compete successfully’ because of the difficulty of getting this information.” Dr. Cox’s recommendation for the elimination of these difficulties is to encourage the movement for the I standardization of rules, practices and staple length description. These reforms he thinks will be greatly | promoted by the cooperation of the I European cotton trade with Amer ican shippers. Discussing the present European textile situation. Dr. Cox said that textile production in England has been very much reduced nee the war on account of decreased buying powi r of India and China, but it :s now’ increasing. Italy, on the oth er hand, is tak.ng more American cotton ( to meet the demand for low er grade products. Production costs, also, in Italy ar e much lower than in England because of cheap labor. The German mills, he said, made money up to June, when production began to outrun sales. Switzerland lias about the same situation as in England, the demand for high class goods for embroidery and laces hav ing declined, while the cost of pro duction is high. Spain is manufac turing mainly for home needs. I’rance is almost back to pre-war ' production, having taken nearly 1,- 000,000 bales of American cotton this year. Costs production in France and Belgium show a considerable improvement since the war, much modern machinery having been in stalled and many new manufacturing methors adopted. Dr. Cox’s European trip was pri marily to make an anaslysis of the market at Liverpool, Bremen, Havre, Milan, Barcelona, Ghent, Rotterdam, I Antwerp, and Manchester.
