' NO WAR OVER PLANE INCIDENT,
The Russian reply to the not of
the United Statea, demanding an in
; demnity for the death of the ten
.1 crewmen of the U.S. Navy Privateer,
- waa ahouit what one would ernwt f mm
- the Soviet Governlment hut dt does
, not ena we matter.
The U. IS, Government, in' view of
- its positive statements, j&' evidently in
possession of accurate information as
to the circumstances connected with
, t)te '' disappearance of the -unarmed
plane.. Whether thia information will
be given to the public may depend on
the source of the information which
may have to be protected.
, The shooting down of the unarmed
plane brings relations between the
- United States and Russia to a rather
r dangerous point. Nevertheless, it is
too early to think of war as inevitable.
The United States, after all, is pledg.
k ed to the peaceful settlement of dds-
pute with other nations and will iprob
, ably resort to some action before the
United Nations in an effort to get a
satisfactory adjustment,
." Shortly after the incident, the Sov-
; let Government, in a protest to the
..United States, accused the American
plane of flying over Soviet territory
and of firing upon a Soviet fighter.
The Russians said that one of the
'Soviet planes returned the fire and
that the: American plane fled over
tlie Baltic Sea.
Moreover, the Russians "ostentati-
oualy decorated" three Soviet airmen
in a manner tnat gives we impres
sion, according to Michael J. Mc
Derm'ott, official of the State Depart
ment, that the airmen are being re
warded for "shooting down a defense
. less American plane."
The United States Government, de-
- laying its reply to the Soviet note un
til complete facts could be obtained
, about the incident, advised the Soviet
Union that the onJy military aircraft
: (in the air in the Baltic area on April
8th; 1910, when the incident occurred,
.was a U. S. Navy Privateer airplane,
which disappeared, leaving no trace of
' its crew of ten persons."
Our Government denied that the
plane flew over any Soviet or Soviet
occupied territory or territorial wa
iters and asserted that the plane in
- question was unarmed. Consequently,

this country protested the violation of
international law, demanded an " In
vestigation by the Soviet Government,
orders to prevent a remtion of the In
cident, punishment of those jruilty of
the attack and appropriate indemnity
lor tne unprovoked destruction, of
auuM-ican uvea anu property.
Reaction in Congress to the kerious
and delicate international situation
was, , In the mam, that the United
States take a firm and unyielding
stand with Russia. The Senate unani
mously voted praise and decorations
for the lost airmen. 'Speaker in both
Houses denounced the Russian ac
tion.
AIR TRAVEL SURE TO INCREASE
In ten years, all first-class travel
will be by air, according to the Pre
diction of Joseph J. OXJonnell, Jr.,
chairman of the Civil Aeronautics
Board He says that longer runs
through the air will be "nore eco
nomical, faster and just as safe."
Mr. CConnell does not think that
trains, buses and other forms of
transportation will go Out of business
but he intimates that they will handle
the shorter-fthan-two-hundred-Jmile
runs. Moreover, he thinks that com
mercial jet planes, traveling five hun
dred miles an hour, will be in general
service in less than four years.
The development of aerial travel
bids fair to have the same revolution
ary effect upon the country that the
automobile had in an earlier era
While the results of aerial transpor
tation will not be as far-reaching as
the developments brought about by
