ST JOHNS, Newfoundland, May
16.-Fortune Bay, a stocky finger of
water poking into the South shore
of Newfoundland, was the hope of the
Canadian authorities today in their
tireless search for the White Bird and
Capts. Nungesser and Coli, missing
transatlantic flyers.
A report from Ocean Pond, less than
100 miles East of the bay, that
plane, apparently experiencing motor
trouble, had passed over that town
last Monday, led the authorities to
ask the French steamer Angease at
st. Pierre, Miquelon, to 80 to the
bay and make a thorough search.
Should this mission prove futile, the
Angease will then cruise West along
the South coast where there are
number of small fishing settlements.
These settlements have no means
of communicating with the world
other than by boat and it was con-
sidered a possibility that Nungesser
and Coli might have been picked up
by a fisherman and taken to one Of
the settlements.
The report about the passing Of a
plane over Ocean Pond. 25 miles
Southwest of Harbor Grace. where
three persons reported hearing
plane on the same day, was forwarded
by a member Of the Newfoundland
constabulary.
He wrote that William Parsons,
who said he heard the plane. told him
that the noise seemed like the explo-
sion of a boiler at first, but it soon
became apparent that it was overhead
and the repetition of the sound, al
though not regular as in the case OF
a well running motor indicated that
it came from an airplane.

Chamberlain Statement Held
Blow to Interventionists

lain, foreign secretary of Great Brit
ain, concerning his governments
policy toward China was a vertiable
bombshell among standpat foreigners
here, who almost lack language strong
enough to express their feelings.
Many persons here, especially the
British, thought if Britain failed TO
obtain cooperation of the United

alone. This idea was quashed by

happen soon. This disclosure of the

as the great betrayer of foreign
rights and prestige in China and
turns contumely upon London.
Coolidge's Critics Stunned.
The British press here, which freely
criticized President Coolidge's reluc-
tance to embark upon an intervention
policy, now seems stunned. A leading
British organ discusses the foreign
secretary's speech gloomily and ironi-
cally.
Some statements of Sir Austen
really insult thoughtful people" this
newspaper said. I'VE like being
hoaxed when that is understood. but
we hate to pretend we are stupid
enough to take seriously and solemn
ly such a grotesque distortion of ex-
listing facts and immediate prospects
as are embodied in Chamberlain's view
of the situation. We must resent such
bland challenges of our intelligence;
such cool assumption of our stupid
ity."
On the other hand, foreigners who
believe the situation requires modera-
ton and who oppose intervention on
broad grounds approve Chamberlain s.
policy. The Chinese are immensely
relieved at the removal of their fear
of early foreign military occupation.

however, and much dry sentiment was

Haynes career marks him as the

he has been both lin and OUT of
power. He was virtually stripped of
authority as commissioner under fhe
old law, when Assistant Secretary
Andrews took charge. He was raised
again to the post of acting commits

to Secretary Melons recent trip to
Europe. Strenuous efforts were put

had decided to keep his hands off

at the time as a forecast of the re-
