Forty nations are represented at the International Civil Aeronautics Conference, which was opened on Wednesday by’*President Coolidge. Mr. Coolidge gave an address which reviewed the progress of human flight from antiquity to the present day. He said, in reference to the Wright celebration this year, that it will mark a quarter of a century in the history of human flight. Learning to fly had probably always been in the human breast, said the President. He quoted from Tennyson’s Locksley Hall: “See the heavens fill with commerce,” etc. The President added that 72,000 miles of air routes were now regularly operated in the world.
