, I ' is proi.at.le that there are a
rum her of American typos of avla
i t on rootora which have been dvel
! i i e l aed tested to a point where
t t'V ran speedily be put Into o,uan-
i ' v produt lon. One of the most
I '.. 'ii' i. table reaults of the Liberty
tri.tor was to discourage the normal
n ' "Titive of ' American Inventors
and capita! to go ahead with th
trentinn of rival motors, some one
of which would put thla nation to
the lore In this vitally Important
v-ar art Pur h men had no heart
to enter In competition with the of-
f. chilly adopted and triumphantly
Miunted l iberty motor That bar
rier to Inventive Ingenuity ond me
hanicnl skill may now be consid
ered hs removed.
In the meantime, as I shall inter
explain more fully, we are fortu
nate In being able to obtain, in fact,
are already obtaining, a larpe and
steadily Increasing supply of foreign
tvpes of motor of the highest ex
cellence and which are now being
manufactured In quantity. In whole
or In part, right, here In the T'ntted
Statea. Thua we already have at
our command types of aviation mo
tors which will help fill the void
Mx Moris Kinds Hrlng Made.
Those who have saeumed that w
were entirely dependent on the Lib
erty motor will bo surprised and
encouraged to know that there Is
the highest authority for the state
ment that the United States govern
nient. la now receiving six types of
aviation, motors exclusive of the
Liberty . So far aa I can learn onlv
two of these six additional typet
are being delivered In quantity, viz
Ibe Purtiss and the Htspano Suira.
but It la pleasing to know that four
others are. actually In production
If even In small quantities. Thev
nre said to have successfully paused
the dcsiMnlng and experimental
stage, and It may he presumed that
the day Is near when thev can be
delivered In numbers sufficient to
f'onnt.
The Turtles "O V" engine Is de
signed for the Curtiss plane, whirh
i Intended . not for war duty, but
more particularly for what I known
as primary training purposes
These are of relatively low power
and speed, bill are admirable for
the Initial training use which gives
the aviator nnvb.e relative -control
and confirlenr e, A much faster plane
is required for "advam-ed training."
and it now ecema certain that the
existing tvpe of Liberty motor will
not wholly serve this vital need, an
unexpected o.n! most unfortuna'e
development, but one which may be
overcome bv the emplovment of the
rftspano Sulz.i and other motors
provided thev ran he built In suf
ficient quantities
Mixli'l rtusl In France.
The Hlspano Suiza (Spanish -Swiss)
motor Is of the model most
gmernlly used In J-'ranee. where
seventeen large manufacturing
rlanta are working night and day In
their construction. The Wright
Martin Airrraft corperatlon began
their production In the I'nlted States
under contracts with the French
government early In 1016, more than
a year before we declared w-ar
against liermanv. t nae compieten

the rale of five hundred a month,
which I consider the most encoura'T
H. g hit of news yet announced con
cerning our aviation program.
This corporation has a contract
with the I'nlted States for the pro
duction of three thousand motors of

fiith. the 150 and 300 horse power
tpes are motors for fighting pur
poses, including pursuit, scouting,

of the duties which can be met onlv
