Mr.. Coolidge also is understood TO

The American government. IN the
view of the president Is doing all It
can by refrainine from competitive
building Of aircraft for war purposes
and until the situation In Europe
changes, cannot do more than express
its views through It's own action.
However. the president. 1t was
