Bryan Opposition to Defense Day Plan Called “Serious Blunder” by Missouri Senator. * Preparedness Relative Kansas City, Aug. 2.—Refusal of Governor Bryan of Nebraska and other state officials to cooperate in the national defense day program, as announced by President Coolidge, was characterized as a "serious blunder" by United States Senator ■lames A. Reed, democrat, of Missouri in a statement issued here tonight. The senator said he would prefer to accept the judgment of General Pershing to that of "Governor Bryan, et al.," as to any military maneuver. Senator Reed said it would appear to the Individual onlooker that "pre war pacifism has joined hands with political pettifoggery.” He declared that the "real sower of the seeds of war is the creature who goes about crying: ‘Peace! Peace!' when there is no peace," and that the pretense that preparedness will create a lust for blood is "the limit of absurdity.” "Every ritizen possessing common sense," Senator Reed’s statement con tinued. "knows that the day may come when some great power or com bination of great powers may atlack the United States. Develop Plan. "The sole purpose of the defense day program Is to develop the best possible plan for the mobilization of our resources, so that nations will hesitate to attack us and should they do so, to repel that attack with the least possible loss. "The program may be as full of errors as an egg Is of meat. The very object of the experiment is to discover these errnfs In advance In stead of waiting to learn them on fields strewn thick with the corpse1 of Ameriran boys.” Senator Reerl declared that pre paredness Is a relative term and pointed out that a condition which constitutes complete preparedness against a small power mav be gross unpreparedness against a great power or combination of great powers. Constant Preparation. "For more than 50 years." his statement continued, "the United States have been in a state of pre paredness against Mexico and all of the South American countries As to them power was and is, irrcststable. She could within 90 days have crushed any or all of them. "Nevertheless, the possession of this power was no temptation to move against them. On the contrary the fact of our dominance and their weakness led us to assume a benevo lent protectorate over them. A pol icy which we would never have as sumed had they occupied positions of dangerous rivalry. "It is plain, therefore, that the pos session by Aherioa of power has never led to a policy of aggression. "The claim that by placing our selves in a position where attack will certainly Jie repelled, we thereby In vite attack, borders on the Idiotic It answers Itself."

International News Service Staff Cor respondent. On Board U. S. Cruiser Richmond, Houton Bay, Off Scotland, Aug. 2.— Lieutenant Krfk Nelson. United States army round-the-world aviator* swooped down along upon the bleak Iceland coast this afternoon, having made the 565-mile flight from the Orkney Islands to Hornsafjord through fog, which was so heavy that at times he could see less than half a mile ahead. The American cruiser Raleigh, anchored off the coast at Hornsafjord, reported that Nelson was resting tonight awaiting the arrival of Lieut, 1-owell Smith, Lieut. Leigh Wade and the other air men from Kirkwall. Smith and Wade lost Nelson in the fog shortly after the start and turned lack, but the Swediah-American flyer kept to his course. Nelson reached Ireland waters shortly after 4. having made the trip from the Orkneys in approximately eight hours. Run Into Fog. The three world girdling planes took off ftotn Houton hay at 9:25 thcs morning, but when they w ere 25 miles off the Orkneys, they encountered a thick fog blanket. Smith and Wade tried to ride over it, but without succese. They had a glimpse of Nelson j shooting downward with the evident intention of trying to fly below the mist and that was the last they saw of him. It was decided to return te Kirkwall while Nelson, not knowing his companions had turned back, kept on towards Iceland. The United States destroyer Bill- * nigsley,_ anchored off the Faroe | islands, repor'ed that Nelson s plane l ad pasted at 12:50 going in the di rection of Hornsafjord. The destroyer Reid, patrolling half way between the i Faroe islands and Iceland, reported j at 2:45 M 45 eastern standard timei, jthat Nelsons machine was seen driv ing in a northwesterly direction. A; that time, fhe American airman was about ISO miles from Icealnd. I’lenty of Fuel. Neison had enough gasoline on board to run his machine for 15 hours and little fear was felt for his safety except in the event of serious motor trouble or breakage which would com ■ r>el him to alight in the rough water. [Smith and Wade said they would take off when the weather cleared, pos sible tomorrow morning. When they teach Iceland, about I he most dan semus part of the historic flight will | have been accomplished. The two most hazardous dashes were said to he [from the Orkneys to Iceland and from Iceland to Greenland. Icebergs, ce fields, fog rain srd wind, make this part of the route an exciting game of hide and seek, with possible disaster. In Nelson's plane New Orleans. No. S. with the pilot was Second Lieut. John Harding, jr , of the sir service reserve service corps who was rated jas a mechanician. I Respite their exciting adventude. both Nelson and Harding were in good shape when they reached Ice land. according to ■ radio from the Raleigh, but both were dead tiled front the wag strain.
