WAR AIR PROGRAM
ASSA|LED, PRAISED
"Riot of Waste" Committee
Majority Says; "Achieve-
ment," Minority Holds.

Condemned in one report as riot
of waste" and defended in another as
record Of achievement" the war
time aviation program is the subject
of two reports which are today before
the House. submitted by the special
committee which for more than six
months has been conducting inquiries
into the war expenditures.
Although the War Department
spent sI,o51 100000 for aviation dur
ing the nineteen months OF the war
only 213 Aherican-made planes
reached the front. and all Of these
cording to the majority report.
Alleges ExtravaEance.
The report condemning the manner
was filed by Representatives Frear
and Magee, republicans, while that de-
Tending the project was submitted by
Representative Lea, democrat. Both
contain thousands of words.
The majority report goes at length
into alleged eXtravagances. beginning
with early aircraft appropriations and
ending with the closing-out Of con-
tracts. It deals with the alleged fall
ure of the deHaviland planes, alleged
failure to get any kind of planes to
the battle front in sufficient numbers,
condemns failure Of the spruce-pro-
duction project in the northwest and
the alleged waste of millions in cost
plus contracts, and makes many spe-
cific charges of inefficiency and wan
ton sQuandering of money.
scores Majority Report.
Representative Lea'S minority re-
port replies to the majority findings
as ''intemperate, biased and vituper-
ative. an exaggeration."
1t in turn charges the republican
members of the committee with hav-
ing sacrificed facts for sensational
ism in an effort to discredit the dem
ocratic administration.
Both reports devote a prominent
part to the controversy over the con-
nection of John D. Ryan. former di-
rector of the aircraft production. with
the construction of a government
built railroad which. it has been
charged, benefited the Chicago. Mil
waukee and st. Paul road. of which
Mr. Ryan is director. The majority
disclaimed any attempt to determine
motives, but stated that "if Mr. Ryans
statement of disinterestedness is
true. he has been most unfortunate in
handling public matter"
The minority report defended Mr..
Ryan throughout and declared he
practically had abandoned his own
business affairs to devote himself to
his duties.

BASEMENT PLOT
 NEVER EXISTED
(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One.)
 And what was produced at the trial as a result?
 Just one rifle, Russian rifle of the 1905 pattern, a clip of cartridges not of the pattern used in such a weapon, but which one witness said would fit the gun, and a leather bay onet holster. That was all the tang ible evidence ever produced as to the cargo. of the Aud.
 To be sure the diver said that he saw thousands of guns on the floor of the sea and many clips of cart ridges. Yet he did not go down second time to produce any more evidence because the next day 'the water was too rough
 Basis for Conviction.
 Easements conviction was based al- most solely on that part of the gov ernment's case which alleged he had declared that a big naval victory by Germany would be the signal for an invasion of Ireland.
 Not the slightest connection was ever established between Sir Roger Easement and the Sim Fein leaders in Ireland. All the prominent Eng fish officials in Ireland laughed at the idea of any Irish-German plot.
 Lord Winfborne. who was the vice roy of Ireland during all the agita- ton over the socal1ed 1rish-German plot, denounced the whole idea as a pure invention He had seen all documents captured and all evidence

gathered in Ireland by the police and secret service men and he was in a better position to know the facts than any one in England.
 Sir John French, later yiceroy. also secuted the plct story.
 Never Planned to Land.
 It can be stated without fear Of .uccessful contradiction that Sir Rog- er Easement never participated in any plan to land troops in Ireland during the war, never had any agreement with any one in Ireland to lead or participate in an uprising, never re- ouested or knew of the Germans land ing arms in Ireland, and at the end did his utmost to prevent a rebellion in Ireland.
 He did 20 to Germany to get Ger many to recognize Ireland as an in dependent nation, to appeal to Irish soldiers to refuse to claim allegiance 10 England and agree to fight for Ireland alone when the great war should end. as he thought, in the des- truction of the British empire, and to appeal to their friends in Ireland to refuse to enlist in the British army and to resist eonseriptfon,
 These things were, of course, high ly embarrassing te the British gev- ornment and doubtless did tend to handicap Great Britain in the prose cution of the war. Yet other, Eng
