ON DEBT
Low Interest Rate Means
Heavy Sacrifice to
Taxpayers

The American taxpayers will
make a sacrifice amounting to prob
ably $4,000, OOO,O 900 if the United
States and French governments
reach a debt-funding agreement, a
member of the debt commission de-
clared today.
Evidently aimed at counteracting
the effect of propaganda circulated
on the eve of the American French
debt parleys to begin Thursday,
this official pointed out that the
sacrifice" measured in money
would result from the probable low
interest rate to be granted the
French.
Frances obligation was contract
ed at per cent, it was pointed
out. The United States is paying
about Az per cent interest on the
money loaned to France. The re-
duction of that interest rate will
cost the taxpayers the difference
between the new figure and Az
per cent.
The terms to the British govern
rnent were said to have represented
a sacrifice of from $4,000, 100000
to $4,000. 900 900, and the Belgian
agreement several million.
1.-The American taxpayers are pre-
pared to make some sacrifice, but
just how much further they will
go than in the British agreement
remains to be seem" the official
declared.
From the amount of advance
propaganda it is difficult to predict
what new basis of sacrifice will be
demanded.

lIL AIMS
Secretary Tells Board Of
Inquiry Present Policy e
Most Efficient
By KENNETH CLARK

The navy had its big inning to-
day before the Presidents special
board of aviation inquiry.
AS strongly as Acting Secretary
of War Davis praised the Army
Air Service, Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur today warmly extolled
naval aviation and urged that it
be allowed to go its own way un-
molested and unhampered by con-
slant criticism.
The present air policy is the
only one that can produce the
maximum efficiency in naval aero
|nautics, Wilbur repeatedly empha-
sized to the board in a prepared
statement.
DisIikes Criticism
Though there are chances for
improvements and economies here
and there in the service, naval
aviation, on the whole, Wilbur de-
clared. is functioning smoothly and
efficiently, and more than anything
else, needs to be given a free hand
to develop along existing lines, in
stead of being constantly upset by
shake-ups.
Wilbur raised the perennial cry
over lack of funds for adequate
development. and though Inherent
tally blaming Congress, never once
mentioned Capitol Hill by name in
this connection.
He avoided personalities in at
tempting to rout critics of the
service, but let go several bombs at
Colonel Billy" MitchelPs charges
of inefficiency and maladministra-
ton of the air force.
A prompt and curt mo" was
Wilbur's reply to the boards
queries whether the country could
not better profit by unifying the
air services as a separate corps, or
by secretary in the Cabinet
advocated by Mitchell.
Necessary to Navy
Establishing an independent air
corps, Wilbur said, would be- mis-
take that would be well nigh
irreparable."
"Air forces form an essential part
of the fabric of the Navy itself,
he declared, land its administra-
ton and organization, like all other
problems internal to
the navy, will, if unmolested by
outside influences, be solved with
the same efficiency and same
happy results as have been OBJ
tanned in similar problems in the
past"
Wilbur refrained from discus
sion of the Shenandoah disaster, but
Landed the efficacy of the dirigible
as an important part of the navy,
especially for long-distance recon
noitering work. Then he added sig
I'm view of the wreck of the
now being investigated,
the use of these ships still remains
in an understandable stage"
Wilbur fairly shuddered at the
suggestion of transferring aviation
from its present place under the
navy, even into separate corps
analogous to the marines.
