BRITAIN CONFIDENT.
American progress toward popu
larizing civil aviation is giving the
British government no fears of the
United States achieving a supremacy
in this line of aeronautics, accord
ing to the London correspondent of
The Associated Press. A White Pa
per just issued by that government
lists France. Italy, and Germany as
England’s most serious competitors
in securing an international 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 avation 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
Janeiro. It is intended also to
despatch a squadron of airplanes
from Italy to Japan.
The French have adopted the
principle of subsidizing airplane ser
vice and 18,000,000 francs have
been earmarked this year for that
purpose. It is understood that the
present policy is for the French gov
ernment 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 de
veloping airship services to Scandi
navia. The policy foreshadowed :s
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.
GOVERNOR OF MONTANA
MAY ENTER PRIMARIES
BUTTT. Mont.—Mention of Gov
ernor Sam V. Stewart of Montana
for the Democratic vice-presidential
nomination has received impetus
from the boom begun in this state
for James W. Gerard for President.
Mrs. Gerard is a daughter of the
late Marcus Daly of this state and
the Gerards frequently visit the Daly
ranch in the Bitter Root.
Governor Stewart has not said he
will be a candidate for vice-presi
dent. but thus far he has not asked
his supporters to drop file use of
his name.
His second term ends January 1,
1921. He has said that he will not
be a candidate for re-election.
