Slow Obtaining Funds

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 29. (P) Major Walter c. Kilner, executive officer of the air service testified be- fore Coolidge's board as. to the difficult ties confronting the service, not of personalities, but of organization
 He said, "The slowness of action on aircraft matters and the apparent lack of comprehension, was the chief cause of dissatisfaction. As an ex- ample it required year and six days to obtain funds for the flight around the world"
 Senator Bingham asked, Have you any constructive suggestions?"
 Kilner answered, Yes: Turn the air service over to fliers.''

CAMLAUX STAND
 PATTON 1ST DEBT
 PAYMENT OFFER
Cables from France Compel Minister to Reverse Himself and Go Slow With Concessions to Amerca-His
 Government Indignant over Terms.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept 29. (P) France will not submit a new offer at today's session with the American Debt Finding Mission.
 This news was announced by the spokesman for M. Caillaux and the French Delegation, and has caused a sensation, as Caillaux himself had stated that he was revising his first offer in order to make 1t more nearly meet the views of Secretary Mellon and the American Government.
 Caillaux's sudden change of policy resulted from alarming cables receiv- ed from his home government telling him of the wave of indignation sweep ing over France since the publication of the severe" demands of the Am erican government
 Premier Painleve and Briand are un- derstood to have cautioned Caillaux to go slow in committing the French gov ernment to terms which the French Parliament may reject, hence Caillaux, instead of raising the ante will repeat his original offer at Mondays session and answer criticisms of any clause.
 He will contend that France sould not be compelled at the beginning to pay more than s25,OOO,OOO annually
 
 and that the highest peak should not exceed S90,O00,O0O, while America in- sists that France pay almost S15O,OOO,- O0O

Britain Hats Cruiser Building
in Hope Of ParIey-Pte-

By HECTOR c. BYWATER,
Naval Correspondent OF the London
"DalIy News
(Written Especially for International
News Servlce.)

Naval Correspondent OF the London
"DaiIy News
(Tritten Especially for International
News servlce0
LONDON, March 14.-That the
Forthcoming navy estimates will
make no provision for new ships
is noW all but certain. That is the
more remarkable in view of the
fact that less than a month ago
Pthe admiralty was committed to a
building project which must have
involved an increase of many mil.
lions.
OnIx those within the charmed
circle OF Whitehall know precisely
what the program was. but there
is authority for the statement that
It embraced eight cruisers and ten
other craft, including three SUD-
marines, an aircraft carrier ana
minelayer-the whole representing
an outlay of 100000, 900, spread
over three years.
There are rumors of heated con-
ferences in which Winston Church
III. chancellor OF the exchequer,
playing the novel role of economist.
Joined issue with. the redoubtable
Earl Beatty and silenced the heav-
lest guns, finally convincing him
that sixpence off the income tax
is more essential to the true We
fare OF the nation than a squadro,
Of new cruisers.
The government has decided {.
undertake no further construction
pending the report of an expert
committee which Is now reviewing
the whole naval position. More
over, 1t Is not without hope that
the temporary halt in warshii
building by this country will eli
courage President Coolindge to sun
mon a second armaments confer
ence, which, by imposing new re-
strictions on the size of the world S
fleets, may render further con-
struction unnecessary.
Though the Washington treaty
has put an end to the perilous
battleship rivalry which began to
develop soon after the war, it has
done nothing to arrest the multi
plication Of lighter naval craft.
Each of the five treaty powers
is free to buid as many cruisers
and submarines as it likes, and
some of them have taken full
advantage Of the liberty.
Warsllips Ordered.
Since the naval covenant was
signed three years ago, France has
authorized the building of III new
warships; Japan, sixty; Italy,
twenty; the United States, twelve,
and the British Empire twelve
a grand total of 221 fighting craft.
People who fondly imagined the
Washington conference to have
ushered in an era of naval dis
armament will doubtless gasp at
these figures.
True, they include only two bat
tleships, but the proportion of big
cruisers and submarines is very
high. France alone is at work on
thirty-nine underwater boats and
Japan, at least, on twenty.four.
In. six years from now the 221
vessels enumerated above should
be completed.
At first sight this evidence n
foreign activity may seem tc
justify the adn1iralty's program,
