FOR SCRAPP|NG
1000 SHIPS
But Davis Tells Geneva U. S.
Hopes for British Program
+ Gas Near As Possible"

Although the United States has
committed itself to work for the
adoption of the British disarma
ment plan at Geneva, American
officials today explained this did
not mean this Government ac-
cepted the plan Internationally.
This Government still objects
TO the proposal for the reduction
of the military air forces of all
the big powers to 500 planes each.
The United States has approx
mately $500 military airplanes.
Ut is inconceivable, officials said,
that the Government would agree
TO scrap 1000 of these machines.
U. S. Needs Greater
However, it was pointed out
that Norman H. Davis, in pledg-
Ding American support for the
British plan at Geneva yesterday,
said this Government hoped to
see it adopted "in as near its pres
ent form as possible"
Officials believe Europe can be
made to understand the position
OF the United States in regard to
aviation is vastly different from
that of Europe, and that whereas
500 planes might be sufficient to
maintain equilibrium in the COM
paratively small European coun-
tries, the vastness of the territory
covered by the United States
would justify a larger force for
this nation.
This aviation proposal is the
only major objection which the
United States has to the plan,
officials said.
Complete with Figures
The consultative pact and the
waving of certain rights of neu-
trality in the event of violation
Of peace treaties is included in
the British pain.
President Roosevelt is reported
to have assured both Premier
Macdonald of Great Britain and
former Premier Herriot of France
that he was not unfavorable to
such proposals.
