U. S. OIL EXPORTS CUT.
Increase in British Production Last
Year Noted Here.

Increase in the British petroleum
refining industry in 1925 materially
retarded American foreign trade in
these products, and the probability
that imports of crude will increase and
those of refined decline in proportion
to its further development is viewed
by the Commerce Department as OF
special interest to American exporters.
Great Britain, the department point
ed out, has long been this country's
largest individual market for refined
petroleum, but a study of the figures
for last year showed imports Of these
products from the United States de-
clined in every line except fuel OIL
In 1926, AZ per cent of the gasoline,
5S per cent of the kerosene, 80 per
cent Of the gas oil, "a per cent of the
fuel oil and IS per cent of the British
imported lubricants came from this
country.

FONCK ALSO PLANS

New York-Paris Trip Will Be
Followed by Visit to
"WorId's Ceiling"
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 11.-To Rene
Fonck, French ace of aces, his pro-
posed New York Paris nonstop flight
In August will be but a step to some
thing higher. If he succeeds in the
transatlantic flight he will attempt
to fly over the uneXplored regions of
the Himalaya Mountains, the cell
ing of the world" he told the Asso-
Ciated Press yesterday.
Il hope to make this flight over
the Himalayas next Winter" he said.
Il shall fly over Mount Everest and
the other magnificent mountains. for
the first time, and make observations
of this almost unknown region"
Byrd'S flight over the Pole was "a
splendid thing" said Fonck, but he
added that he had never wanted to fly
in the Arctic. THE polar regions
do not interest me-" he declared.
Atlantic Trip First.
Plans for his mountain exploratory
flight, fraught with its many dangers
because of the unmapped sections
and the lack of landing fields, hinge,
however, upon the success of the
contemplated transatlantic flight, he
said.
II have entered the contest for the
Raymond Orteig $4,000 prize. offered
to the first to accomplish the flight,
and 1 hope and expect to VIM the
captain said. But it is not for that
that ! am essaying the flight.
Il want to demonstrate the posi-.
bility of an air route from France to
America, and in doing it I wish to
bring not only the two continents but
the two peoples closer together. l
have been to Washington and con-
ferred with Secretary Wilbur and Ad-
miral Eberle and have found them in
terested and helpful.
Going Over Newfoundland.
"My route will be from New York
TO Boston overland, then over water
following the coast line to st. Johns,
Newfoundland, then over the ocean
in a slightly northern curve straight
to Cherbourg and lie Bourget, Just
outside Paris.
The total distance is about 1856
miles, of which 2,S12 will be over
water. L expect to do it in 35 or SO
hours.
Equipment? Food? Most impor-
tanr. $4,000 gallons of food for the
motors. For myself? Two packs of
cigarettes.
Asked what qualifications the Amer
ican aviator he would choose must
have, Capt. Fonck replied: well, 1
think he had better be a good swim
mer.'
