NJ. Maurice 'Casenave' Says the

the exhibition of French products at
the Hotel Pennsylvania yesterday.
1T tell you," NJ. Casenave said, that
such statement is not true; that
France is working; that France wants
to pay her debts. OF course. we want
your help, but in a way which will be
profitable to both nations. We do not
ask charity. We want help in our busi-
ness; we want you to buy our goods
in order to reestablish our exchanges
and we are as anxious to sell you frst
class goods MS you can be to buy them.
That L. the way that France wants to
deal with America; squarely, honorably,
profitably for both"
The exhibition will serve to demon
citrate to America, NJ. Casenave said.
that in spite of the hardshlps of war,
in spite of the fact that large numbers
of French workmen were fighting in
the trenches or using their skill in the
manufacture OF munitions for their own
country and her allies, they had not

Among the other. speakers were Gas

New York. who said that the French
workman and manufacturer possessed a
high degree OF intellectual honesty which
was reflected in their products, and Paul
Verdier. who recalled that as France was
the only one of the belligerent nations
to exhibit at the California Exposition
after the outbreak OF the war, so she
was the first nation to exhibit in this
country after the signing OF the treaty
of peace.
The exhibition. which is under the
Official Commerce Department of the
French Government organized to win
back for France the markets which the
war took away, will be open in the ball
room OF the Hotel Pennsylvania until

This officer desired to keep in flying
practice and Il seems to me his plans
should be encouraged in order that we
may have some available flying officers
in years to come" Mn Anthony said.
Secretary Baker, who was before the
committee. denied that the Department
had sold all of Its planes and sait
he would offer planes similar to thost
cold to officers who were licensed pilots
at about $3.50 each. He admitted the
price to Curtiss was about $3.50.
Mr.. Baker said that many army air
