NO PROTEST FROM U.S.
Centenary Air Race Conditions. LONDON, April 26. “ The United .States has not lodged a protest against the centenary air race conditions,” said-' Mr James Ray, who is here on behalf of the American Air Race Committee, to try to get the conditions of the event amended. He added that he felt that a protest would not be needed. Preliminary discussions with the Royal Aero Club and British Air Ministry officials had been satisfactory, and he expected that the conditions either would be explained or modified to allow Americans to compete on a basis of equality. If his hopes were achieved, he said, probably ten United States planes would enter. “If negotiations fail we will need to make an official protest,” said Mr Ray, “ but I have sufficient confidence in British sportsmanship to believe that the free international spirit of the race, for which the prize was intended, will be carried out.”
