the charter "is nothing more than
the expression of hopes and aspira-
tions on the part of the president
of the United States and our prime
minister."
j Lord Bennett pointed out that
American legislation giving fqrce
to operation Of the charter dwlnra-
tlons could only became effective
after Senate approval, and he call-
ed attention to the Senate’s refusal
after the first World War to accept
the League of Nations which Presi-
dent Wilson had snonsored and in-
cluded in his famous fourteen
projects for Denton.
At Love Field they discussed the
possibility cf a air training field
for Denton. Thia city la still being
considered as a site but no definite
information was available at this
time.
Downtown they conferred with
Major W. M. Martin about a pro-
posed hospital site to learn the
exact requirement* for such a lo-
cation. They were told by Major
Martin that it was almost impos- 1
sible at this tlihe to obtain mate-
rials to extend utilities and pave-
ment to such sites and that it was
difficult for most towns to provide
locations with all utilities, includ-
ing * railroad avaltable.
