DO NOT FEAR
UNITED STATES
COMPETITION
LONDON, Jan. 16.—American pro
gress toward popularizing civil avia
tion is giving the British government
no fears of the United States achiev
ing a supremacy in this line of aero
nautics. A white paper just issued
by the government lists France, Italy
and Germany as England’s most ser
ious competitors in securing an inter
national aircraft trade.
Efforts are being made in Italy to
form a combine to strengthen the
position of the aircraft industry. A
semi-rigid airship of 1,100,000 cubic
feet capacity is being constructed for
civil aviation and should be ready
for service soon. It is believed that
in this vessel the Italians will at
tempt a flight from Italy to Rio de Jan
eiro. It is intended also to dispatch
a squadron of airplanes from Italy to
Japan.
The French have adopted the prin
ciple of subsidizing air plane service
and 18,000,000 francs have been ear
marked this year for that purpose.
It is understood that the present pol
icy is for the French government to
supply the material for a commercial
airship service from Marseilles to
Africa and later to South America by
way of Dakar.
Germany is understood to be devel
oping airship services to Scandinavia.
The policy foreshadowed is for all
German airdromes to be in the hands
of the state and for a combination to
be formed of all firms for working
purposes. Each firm is to standardize
a type, and types of planes are to be
approved by the government. An Air
Fleet Union, modeled on the lines of
the German Navy League has been
formed with the object of fostering
national interest in aviation.
PHILIPPINES TO
SUPPLY CHINA
WITH LUMBER
SHANGHAI, Jan. 16.—Lumber in
terests in China and particularly in
Shanghai, as a result of the boycott
movement against Japan are reported
engaged in a project to obtain raw
timber in future from the Philippines.
In former years the volume of Jap
an’s lumber trade with China has run
into millions of taels annually.
David S. N. Hsia, a graduate of the
Philippine school of Forestry, said to
have bean sent here by the Philippine
government with the approval of
Governor General Harrison, has just
completed a survey of China’s lum
ber market and a study of means by
which Philippine lumber my be most
economically brought here.
Chinese wood workers, carpenters
and builders are said to manifest an
increasing aversion against the use
of Japanese lumber.
Upon the completion of Mr. Hsia’s
survey it was announced that in fu
ture the Philippines would ^undertake
to supply a large portion, if not the
bulk, of China’s lumber needs. An
intention expressed was to apply to
the United States shipping authori
ties with the request that boats be
supplied to encourage the growth of
the new business.

FRANCESTRONG
FOR ATHLETICS
OF ALL KINDS
PARIS, Jan. 16.—One of the big
gest lessons learned by France from
the American “doughboy”, according
to Gaston Vidal, president of the
Union of Sporting Federations, who
was recently elected to the French
Chamber of Deputies, is the value of
outdoor athletics. He predicts France
will have at least 1,000 open-air ath
letic stadiums in various cities and
towns within the next five years.
“It was due to football, baseball
and similar sports,” he said, “that the
United States was able to raise,
equip and train an army of 2,500,000
men in a few months. Athletics is
the best sort of military training.”
M. Vidal told a representative of
the Associated Press that one of the
first bills he will attempt to have
passed by the Chambers will be to
make the appropriation of 10,000,000
francs given this year for athletics
an annual affair. He said that he also
would interpellate the government on
the manner in which the 10,000,000
francs of 1919 were expended.
Referring to the coming Olympic .
games, the new member of parliament
said that France would send 200
trained athletes to Antwerpt as well
as two complete soccer and Rugby
football teams, water-polo teams and
tennis.
If the funds allotted by the govern
ment are insufficient Mr. Vids® said
that he, together with Mr. Rameil and
Mr. Pate, legislative colleagues who
are also much interested in athletics,
will raise a public subscription which
will be called “The French Olympic
Million” in order to finance the
athletes.
