Issuance Of a presidential warrant
for the extradition Of Samuel insult,
st., from Greece seemed near today
with the arrival of necessary papers in
the case from Gov. Emmerson OF
Illinois.
Legal experts of the department were
examining them preparatory to draw

man who once controlled utilities hold
ings valued at hundreds Of millions OF
dollars. The crash of the structure built
by insult, one-time secretary to Thomas
A. Edison, resulted in indictments In
Cook County, H., charging him with
larceny and embezzlement.
Meantime, he had gone to Paris and
from there he fed to Greece, which at
that time lacked an extradition treaty
with the United States.
Since then the treaty has been ratlT
fed and insult placed under arrest ooy
Greek authorities The 73-year-olo
fugitive has retained counsel in an
~sefort to prevent his extradition.

ARMS CONCESSION
TO REICH PROPOSED
Would Be Given Same Kind
as Other Nations Under
British Plan.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated HresS.
GENEVA, November 1.-THE British
foreign secretary, Sir John Simon, pro-
posed to the World Disarmament Con-
ference today that the German demand
for arms equality be satisfied by al
lowing the Reich to have the same kind
Of armaments as other nations.
The British government also pro-
posed as a part Of scheme to solve
the equality problem that all the Euro
pean states join in solemn affirmation
that under no circumstances will they
attempt to resolve any present or fu-
ture differences among them by force.
Sir John declared the limitation of
Germany's armaments should be con-
tanned In the same disarmament con-
vention which defines limitations on the
armaments Of others.
This limitation on Germany, he said,
should operate for the same period
revision as was the case In other coun-
tries.
Maximum Disarming Sought.
1.-THE object of the Disarmament Con-
ference Sir John said, is to bring
about the maximum of positive dis
armament that can be agreed upon
not to authorize in the name of equality
increased armed strength.
Furthermore, the full realization In
practice of the principle of equality can
not be achieved all at once"
The Italian delegate announced Italy
was supporting the British stand on
equality, and President Arthur Hender-
son praised the suggestion, expressing
the hope Germany would soon rejoin
the conference.
The French delegate, Rene Massigli,
then announced France stood by its
proposals of Monday for conscript
armies in Europe and an equality OF
basis in ornaments.
Silent on French Plan.
Sir John did not treat on the French
plan for disarmament and security as
it had been reported he would, dismiss
ing the point with the assertion that
| the idea would require long study.
In acknowledging Germany's right to
| the same kind of armamentS as others
have, Sir John said he was speaking Of
kinds of arms and not amounts, for
this latter question must be separately
and subsequently treated"
The British delegate then proceeded
| to link his suggestion as to Germany
with general arms reduction proposals
which in the main were like those
Great Britain already had advanced.
American official quarters gave the
opinion that the British proposals
ought to be sufficient to prepare the
way for Germany's return to the con-
| ference if the Germans sincerely wish
| a disarmament agreement.

sentative, recalled the long months oi

Gus flights to foreign lands will have

The Aeronautics Branch Of the Com
merce Department served notice today
that it will exercise closer supervision
over preparations for such flights by
Americans than it has In the past.
Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce for Aeronautics, said
the action would be taken under an
amendment to the air commerce regula-
tons which requires the owner or pilot
to secure authorization from the de-
partment for foreign flight except on
regularly scheduled operations.
Young said the amendment was de-
signed to discourage inexperienced
pilots and fnadequately equipped air
craft from attempting tranSoceanic
flights. The department heretofore has
kept a close watch on such flights but
has not officially intervened in the
preparations.
