Another reason for the confusion
about Mr.. Child's exact status was a
little inside jam he got into before
he left
The White House announcement Of
his appointment said he was to be
economic adviser to State Secretary
Hull. But when three newspaper men
Immediately went to see Mr.. Child,
he failed to mention Mr.. Hull's
name. He talked about himself and
the President wanting him to work
out this or that plan. Obviously he
and the President had not considered
Mr.. Hull.
On Mr.. Child's word, the news-
men published story that ne in
reality wds to be Mr.. Roosepelt's
economic adviser. 1t did not take
that news long to get back to Mr..

The same three newsmen who in
terviewed Mr.. Child received word
that Mr.. Hull's assistant, Mr. Phillips,
would like to see them. They found
both Mr.. Phillips and Mr.. Child
waiting for them.
Mr.. Phillips took the floor and said
some confusion had arisen as to whose
adviser Mr.. Child was. To clarity it,
he read again the official announce
ment that Mr.. Child was economic
adviser to Mr. Hull.
The newsmen looked at Mr.. Child
and he looked at them. some say i'm

At any rate. they said yeah" with

Mr.. Child obviously was relieved
when they departed.

The truth seems to be that Mr.
Child was Mr. Hull's adviser, at least
while he was in Mr.. Phillips presence
The only embarrassed parties to
the incident were the newsmen. who
had to change their stories for the
third time.
Mr.. Child could not have been
particularly embarrassed because
either way he will get an Ambassa-
doris salary of s17,5oo a year, which
is a lot of money for a travelling
salesman these days.

John l.. Martin, executive secretary

the subcommittee has been making
rapid progress in going over the esti-
mates. and indications are it will be

Blanton explained the reduction
could be made without eliminating

Parity Held Imperative.
However, Baldwin echoed the state
ment of Sir Philip Sassoon, under
secretary for aviation, who declared
British must have parity in the air
howsoever that parity Is attained
Baldwin said:
What I do say Is If all our efforts
fail and this equality cannot possibly
be obtained by such methods as
have indicated. then the governments
will see to it that in air strength and
air power this country shall no longer
be in q position of any inferiority to
any country within striking distance
of our shores"
In the debate on the estimates
which call for increasing the air force
by four squadrons-Sir Philip said
the world has reached q critical
point OF extreme delicacy in the mat

He said that other nations had
failed to accept "our proposals." and

Officials Point to Decline in British
Air Corps Recently.

Great Britains determination to
have an air force second to none
rs expressed before the House of Com
mons yesterday came as no surprise
to American air service oflcials.
For several years, Army Air Corps
officers said, Great Britain has been
slipping gradually behind in the build
ing of military aircraft and In the
expansion of its air service.
With the recent increased interest
and activity in building air fleets by
France, Japan, Russia. and the United
States, American air oficers have ex-
pected some such announcement from
London.
French Service Strongest.
There are no treaties or armament
agreements by which Great Britain,
or any other nation, Is limited in air
craft construction. France, Of all
European nations. has continued to
maintain the highest effective air
service
Recommendations made to the pres.
ent Congress providing for the in
creased construction of military air
craft would give the United States
parity with any other nation.
Great Britain has, according to the
1888 League of Nations Disarmament
yearbook, a total of 1,434 military
planes of which 84S are in Great
Britain, 2S6 overseas, and 300 in air
craft carriers. India, not included In
these figures. has 1876 planes.
U. S. Has 1887 Planes.
Comparative figures for the United
States credit the Army with l,34l and
the Navy with 1.026. a total Of 2,367
planes, of which 2,226 are in the
United States and 14l overseas.
Definite figures on the increase In
American military and naval planes
will not be available until final action
by Congress. Proposals have been
made by Chairman McSwain Of the
House Military Committee, to increase
the Army air force by 4,434 planes.
