Post and Gatty looked wonder
fully fit. They said they were hard
ly tired after their flight and their
appearance confirmed it.
I'VE enjoyed the trip, except for
three or four hours Of rain we en-
countered early in the flight" Post

clear and we made good time.
I'VE hope to finish the flight

I'VE were surprised to find our
selves off our course" he. said, but
later discovered we were not as far
off as we had thought. We did not
get our bearings until about 200
miles east of Galway. Later We
encountered fog and clouds that
hindered cur observations.
Coming down out OF the fog we
saw water, which we took to be the
Irish Channel, and after skirting
the coast of North Wales, decided to
land"
Referring to the rain and fog the
aviators encountered off the coast
of Ireland. Post said "it was not

than rain and fog before We get

added. Until now it has been an
uneventful sort of journey"

be turned over to the world bank
for international settlements and
be used for purposes Of economic
relief-which would permit Ger
many to borrow the money and
have the use of it.
The purpose, according to Paris
dispatches. is to preserve the Young
plan technically and obviate neces-
sity of the French government 60
ing to parliament with PROPOSE
ton to relieve Germany of pay
ments by breaking down the Young
plan.
The administration has given
notice that it is opposed to any
fundamental modification of the
Hoover plan which was for an au-
tomato all around suspension of all
payments.
All that can be said now is that
the French proposal will be ex-
smined with the feeling that the
end - world economic restoration
through a general breathing spell
in debt payments-is more import
ant than the means.
The caution with which the ad-
ministration is proceeding was dis
closed in the sudden cancellation of
Secretary of State Henry L. Slim
sons scheduled radio address on
the Hoover plan last night. The
reason given being that he did not
wish to speak upon such a delicate
matter without greater preparation.
1t was announced at the White
House today that the majority of
replies received by President Hoover
from members Of congress were
favorable 10 the moratorium plan.
Adverse replies were said TO have
been received from comparatively
few congressman.
Tabulation Of results OF Mr..
Hoover's canvass awaits an approx
imately complete return from the
inquiry.

posed for foreign countries.
SnOWden added that the govern
mCnt agreed with the United States
government that no time should be

proposal effective.
