The conference designed to formulate a definite and rational national air policy, applicable to the national parks. Beyond announcing this proposed conference, the secretary of the Interior, In his annual report to the president, has this to say: "The conservative attitude of the national park service Is not based on a reluctance to discard the old and to adopt the new, but to a purpose to conduct millions of people through Its domain safely and free from con fusion and disturbance.

"On the other hand, it Is urged that no encouragement should be given to the use of airplanes as sightseeing conveyances, for the reason that it is impossible to obtain an accurate conception of the beauties and wonders of national parks by flying over them at safe altitudes. "Others aver that only from the air can a view be obtained of generally inaccessible and most Interesting places. There appears to be no general objection to the employment of airplanes between airports in the parks over routes to be established by the national park service and regulated by that service.
