W. H. Smith, gener al traffic manager of Western Air Express, today addressed the open ing session of the national air traf fic .conference of the aeronautical chamber of commerce here. Executives of 29 major Air Transport lines were brought to gether here for the first time for a discussion of the traffic prob- . lems facing the air transport con cerns. "Larger and better airplanes," . Mr. Smith told his audience, "will provide the one essential require ment for air express business. The development of aircraft will be advanced sufficiently to permit air express to be handled at railroad rates with far speedier delivery. "The establishment of the air mail by the government laid the oner stone of commercial avia tion In the United States," Mr. Smith said. "Revenues derived from the transportation of air mail have been the chief means support of the leading air trans port companies, but the air mail service has reached its peak. In the future we must expect to make out revenues from greater loads hauled at lower costs." ARMS LIU!

I collect the things, untie Kem merich's identification disc and take It away. The orderly asks about the pay-book. I say that It la probably In the orderly room, and go.
