BRfT0N CHIEF ASKS
U. S. TO SEND MOTORS
Lord Weir, in Message, Commends
U. s. Aero Activity and De-
cries Impatience.

NEW YORK, July 7z-An appeal
from Lord Weir. head Of the air board
in London. for the United States to
send the British air force "every mo-
tor you can" was read by Mai. Gen.
W. s. Brancker. controller general Of
equipment in the British air council.
at a luncheon given in the generals
honor.
Referring to the fact that the Brit
ish had brought down 4,106 enemy
planes in the last twelve months
against a loss Of 1,217 British ma
chimes, Lord Weir said in his mes
sage that the ratio of British superi.
ori1y is growing very fast in ali di-
rections Of air activity.
For some tfme,s he continued. ssthe
United States development program
has been on a thoroughly sound basis
and founded on strong and definite
policy. Our technical superiority over
the enemy is increasing and our new
machines show the greatest promise
for the future. Ono Of the leading fac
tors in our policy Is the closest. and
most loyal cooperation with America
and our other allies.
America must not be impatient at
delays which are perfectly normal,
and sufficient evidence exists to show
that she is laying very broad found
alton for unrestricted air effort"
