FRENCH CABINET
APPROVES SCHEME
FOR REFINANCING
Proposals Include "Ex'
ceptional' Tax on All
Wealth

PARIS, Nov. T. Premier Pain
'eve, still facing an extremely de-
icate political situation, today
sought and obtained from his new
cabinet it's approval on his financial
projects with which he hopes to res
cue Frances junb,ed finance prob
lem.
The proposals, by some termed q
capital levy scheme, center around
an exceptional tax on all pri-
vate wealth which can be paid i'm
mediately or in annual installments
over a period of - years.
The receipts thus obtained would
go into a sinking fund designed to
meet Frances obligations and stem
the growing paper money flood.
Bank Will Contribute
The Bank of France will contrib
ute 4,0C0.000,000 to 5,000,00o,OOO
francs to the sinking fund which
VIII be repaid as the fund grows.
The plan differs from that of the
derosed Finance Minister Caillaux
i'll that it makes a direct tax on
wealth whereas Caillaux wanted in
creased general taxation. Painleve
is hopeful that with this scheme he
can face the chamber and secure
its support. Probably the chamber
will take up the plan Monday.
Painleve strengthened his posi-
ton in another direction TODAY. how
ever, when he named Henry Jou-
venal to the post of high commits
sioner for Syria. The choice of
q civilian to supplant the recalled
General Sarrail is generally ap-
proved.

of the promised bumper wheat crop
viewed with favor by the Bulgarian
people is the assurance of the aboli-
ton of mixed bread. Bulgaria will
have plenty of wheat for its domestic
uses and expects to have several mil
lions of bushels for export. In antici-
patton of this. bakeries have begun TO
materially lessen the admiXture of

from the counters of the bakeries for

Existence of an airplane that can
carry f.000-pound bomb and fly at
tho rate of III miles an hour for
two and a half hours without refuel-
ing, or for distance of about $50
miles with a 1000 Iound bomb,
is learned from the aircraft in
duStry. The plane is now receiving
the finishing touches of construction
at the HUFF Daland aircraft manu-
featuring plant in New York and Will
be submitted to the Army Air Service
for tests in line with the usual pol
icy. 1t was learned today also that
several other companies are engaged
in building bombing planes to sup
plant the Martin bomber which now
is about in the last stages of use
fulness
Included in this number is one in
projection that can fly 112 miles an
hour for six hours with IL 4,000Dound
bomb. This plane, however, has not
advanced beyond the model wind
tunnel tests.

explosives an airplane can carry.
Both Army and Navy experts have
told the committees that the bombing
plane of today can effectively clear
the American shores of battleShipS
for a distance of go miles out and
that these planes each carrying 1000
pound bombs can destroy any capital
ships within their reach. But these
bombers are of the Martin type, whose
range of action is limited to the ESQ
mile mark when carrying the max
tmum 2,00O-pound bomb load.
With the new plane which actually
exists, by reducing the bomb load
one-half, more than half the present
nonstop duration flight would be
added. In other words, the new plane
can carry much as IL Martin, but
can fly more than twice as far with
out landing for fuel. The projected
ship, under this arrangement could
make maximum nonstop flight of
more than 1900 miles with IA 1000
pound bomb in its rack, or about $50
miles with 4,000-pound bomb
aboard.
No Steps to Acquire Yet.
No steps have been taken by the
Army Air Service to date in securing
any OF these planes. After each
builder has submitted his sample" a
thorough test will be made. and the
one or two decided upon then will be
put into production under the pres
ent policy of acquisition. With the
pursuit and observation arms of the
service now fully developed-at least
to the types selected, although pro-
duction has not gone forward at full
force, all efforts now are concen-
trated on the bombardment division,
in order to bring the Air Service up
