FRENCH TARIFF
Note IS FOUND
FAULT With

WASHINGTON Oct II PLWhile
first chances at the new French tariff
note in official quarters found it
highly unsatisfactory in some re-
spects, the document was submitted
to expert examination today with
representatives of the state and COM
merce departments and tariff COM
missioner cooperating to establish the
exact significance TO be attached to
the conditions under which France
ofefrs concessions as to customs rates
on American goods.
Neither the state department nor
the French embassy was prepared
to give out any summary of the
communication, one of series hoped
to end tariff disputes between the
countries and enter on new COM
mercial relations.
At the state department comment
was restricted to the declaration that
the conditional clauses appeared ull-
satisfactory but without any definite
indication as to their nature.
Undoubtedly they are viewed by
washington officials as requesting
some sort of formal assurance that
the examination of American tariff
schedules under section 315 of the
tariff act will result in a lowering
of American tariff rates on certain
articles. The state department. holds
and has previously informed the
French government that IL cannot
extend any such assurances but must
be guided by recommendations made
by the tariff commission in applica-
ton Of flexible provisions of the tariff
act.
In some quarters the feeling was
expressed the conditions in the note
were not mandatory and that further
correspondence would enable form

ON TRIAL FOR
RECKLESS SNE SIS

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. II QR-Lieut.
George j. Finch of the army air serv-
ice, attached to Selfridge field, Mich,
went on trial before a court martial
at Fort Mcpherson today on a charge
of reckless flying.
The alleged offense took place when
the officer, in company with other
army aviators, was plotting an army
plane to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. In
passing over Atlanta, his home, it was
charged he flew under 1000 feet, the
safety limit fixed by the army, that
he flew "reckleSsly" and performed
several stunts" in defiance of regu-
lations.
Lieut.. Finch also is charged with
perjury, it being alleged he violated
his oath in statement made before
Judge j. M. Graham, inspector gen
eral on June 16. The officer is said
to have told Judge Graham that he
was flying around 1000 feet" when
he passed over the Atlantic home of
Royal j. Miller on May l, and this is
held to have been perjury by the prose-
cutting officers.
Mrs. Royal j. Miller, mother-in-law
of Lieut.. Finch, testified that while
his wife was critically i'll at her home,
the defendant flew an army plane SO
low over her house that it almost caus-
ed Mrs. Finch to suffer commissions.
