sengers commercially on the trans
Atlantic route. She is designed to
carry a crew of 43, ten tons of
freight, and 100 passengers.
First of 150
Willie of groat size, this airship
is about the minimum size that
can be used for commercial trans
Atlantic flights, and Is merely the
forerunner of a fleet of 160 passen
ger ships, her British backers say.
Commander C. Dennis Burney,
member parliament, who- is the
designer of the R-100, has discuss
ed with PresUleut Coolidge and
Secretary Hoover the carrying of
trans-Atlnntlo mall by airship.

on the easterly trip in 48 hours
and westerly in 60 hours. The later
nnd larger ships will require only
36 hours east and 48 hours west.

erica conducting negotiations for
the dirigible's builders. It has
been proposed that of the remin
der of the fleet, half be built in
the United States and fault la
Eugland.

Travel.
(By NEA Service)
NEW YORK, April 10. "Avia
tion is the League of Nations, the
International Court, and a com
plete set of iuternntionul treaties
all rolled Into a single irresistible
agency," said Captain Edward V.
Rickenbacker.
He was dismissing a single
day's news concerning aviation
feats: the breaking by Eddie
Stinson nnd George Kaldeman ot
the world record for sustained
flight; setting by Major Mario de
Bernardl of a new world spoed
record ot almost six mlleB a'mln
ute; reported preparations by
Charles A. Lindbergh to fly around
the world.
Rickenbacker went into the au
tomobile business after gaining
the tltlo of foremost American ace
of the World War. Hut he re
malus an aviation enthusiast.
A Trio of Titans
Radio and television will do
their part, along with air transpor
tation, to Internationalize human
nffairs, ho said. No political con
Kideratlons can check their swift
ly developing Influence upon the
world, he believes.
"Within 20 years, these three
forces will work a transformation
of our dally life that to the Imagi
nation of today will be astound
ing." said Rickenbacker.
"By 1950, the manufacture and
operation of aircraft will be the
world's greatest Industry. The
airplanes of today will seem but
kites alongside those of tomor
row. An airplane that travels at
but 100 miles an hour already is
obsolete.
"There Is much work yet In avia
tion for engineers to db. Engines
do not yet approach perfection.
Aerodynamics still presents un
solved problems. But the work
will be done and the results will
be amazing.
How Air Will Be Used
"The air must be used In the fu
ture for the conduct of a great
nmonnt of our every-day business.
All first class mall must go by air.
There must be provision for hand
ling the parcel post by air. We
will have air transportation for
certain classes of light freight.

Present airplanes will "look like kites" alongside those of tomorrow, says Captain Eddie Rienen
backer and at the top you see one of the latest of today's planes, a German Junkers Just arrived at
Croyden air field, London. Center, how Col. Lindbergh may belt the globe, with optional routes across
Asia. Lower left, Rickenbacker displaying some model planes; lower right, Major de Bernard!, who flew
nearly six miles a minute the other day.
"As for the passenger business,
flying over the air lines nf the fu
ture will be as rommonplace as
walking Is now. The present gen
erations are Raining 'alr-mtnded-ness'
by experience. It will be bred
Into future generations.
"Aviation will melt national
borders. Aviation, radio and tele
vision will link every part of the
earth In common understanding,
common business enterprises, com
mon prosperity.
The Al r native Destruction
"To seek to. resist the Interna
tionalizing of human life through
these aeencies would be to Invite
the wiping out of civilization.
There Is no comprehending what
another world war would mean.
But I do not believe they can be
resisted. The youth of the world
the Lindbergh will see to that"
Rickfnbackrr forecast vast
Hghter-than-alr as well as heavler-than-alr
transportation facilities.
"Airships several times as large
as the Ios Angeles or the Shenan
doah will come.' he said. "They
will fly around tho earth. They
will 'dock' In the air. Smaller
ships will bring to them from land
fields their fuel and passengers
and freight.
A Smaller World
"Our world will shrink, through
the communication and transporta
tion systems of tomorrow, to a
fraction of Ita present size. The
planes nf the very near future will
bring San Francisco eastward to
about the longitude ot Chicago. '
"Through television, buyers for
San Francisco clothing stores will
stay at home and nee the latest
New York and Paris gowns the
day they are produced nee the.-n
on the screen. In colors, and hear
radio descriptions of them. Air
planes will deliver their purchases
a few hours later."
Automobile, railroad, and water
transportation will advance along
with aviation, Rickenbackei- said.
Mounting prosperity and Its de
mands will see to that.
"There will be SO.OOO.O00 auto
mobiles In use In this country
within the next 20 years," he
prophesied. "We will have 400
foot transcontinental highways.
We will travel these at close to
100 miles an hour."
