Aviation knowledge Is advancing so
fast that whole programs may have
to be scrapped as soon as they are
completed. This is the opinion of one
of the leading allied aviation officers
in Washington. He refuses all COM
ment upon the situation in which the
aviation program of the United States
presents itself. So far as his own
particular work goes, he admits that
the contact with American aviation
has been a satisfying one.
But, he warns, as America Is the
nation that possesses the greatest re-
sources in the way of both men and
materials for aviation, too much can
not be expected of her II she Is to do
all she can In the common cause.
1t is this mans opinion that already
a new phase Of activity in the air Is
coming to the fore. This Is the work
of the contact patrol machine This

Members Of the House Military

ment's estimate Of $1,000. .OoO. 900 prob
ably will be cut down considerably
before the bill becomes law.
This 10 due not to opposition to the
biggest sort Of program. but to a feel
ing that the estimates 50 far sub

tions. One error in computation

would need
What members think likely Ii that
the War Department has become con-
fused in its army appropriation bill
and its Notifications bill. The army
proposes .s6.Oooooo.ooo for ordnance.
and the Notifications nearly as much.
All the information before the COM
mittee is that SO large an amount OF
cannon and supplies cannot possibly
be turned out in one year. -
Like Experience I'm Former Bills.
A rather common experience in pas
appropriation bills is to md the same
item provided In two separate bills
1t has been frequently suspected thai
army officers made up their estimates
in this way 30 that II q favorite item
were knocked out of one bill. II nigh
survive In another. This has beer
easy for the War Department. be

Lunn will be unable to meet with

THE approximate aggregate asked
for by the War Department" he said
amounts to s15,00O, ,OOO, 200. This is q
colossal figure. Regardless of tn,
amount. am sure the committee de
sires to report favorably every dollal
necessary for the most efficient con
duct OF the war; but I am Of the
opinion that the big appropriation car
be cut down materially without hin
dering one iota the plans suggested
by the department
MY contention Is that II all tn,
factors entering into the various pro
grams are carefully considered. Il
would be found that It is utterly i'm
possible to spend the amount de
manded. I want to see every dollar
appropriated that can be efficientl,
spent during the year. do not wan
to see a single dollar appropriated
which cannot possibly be expended
Lunn said he understood much o.
the ordnance program would take i
months, yet Congress was beins
asked to appropriate the entir,

ing the money until II Is needed.
