BALDWIN TELLS HOUSE
Other Nations Failed to Reduce

lister Says.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July l9-Stanley Bald
win, lord president OF the council, in
formed the House OF Commons today
that the British government has de-
cided on program Of increasing its
air force by Al squadrons during the
next five years.
OF the new Squadrons, he said. 80

raising the existing AZ squadrons at
home to total of is The remaining
squadrons would be for service with
the feet as ali air arm or for use
abroad.
The rate at which this program
can be carried out within the five
years" said Baldwin, must depend
upon various considerations, including
finance. which cannot specify now
VIII Spread Out Work.
I'VE hope, however, so to space out
the work as not to make an unmanage-
able addition to the estimates in any
one year"
The president OF the council said
that ever since the World War, sue
cesSive British governments had &C
lively pursued a policy of interna-
tional disarmament and. in efforts to
further this policy by example as well
as precept, had reduced the British
armament Ito dangerously low level
in the hopes that others would follow
our lead"
He stated the disarmament nego-
tistions, however, had been drawn out
longer than any one anticipated and
during this period of eight and one
half years, misgivings had arisen from
time to time in many quarters at
the increasing accumulation of the
deficiencies In our defensive services
particularly in view of the increased
expenditure on ornaments in many
other countries"
Charges Others Failed.
The governments policy, he said
remained one of international dis
armament but, owing to the failure OF
other governments to follow the Brit
ish example, the government felt the
time had come when the possibility
of keeping British ornaments at their
present level must be reconsidered.
Following his analysis Of the rea-
sons leading the government to re-
consider the possibility Of keeping
British ornaments at their present
low level. Baldwin declared:
Il would emphasize that many
factors which have influenced our
decision are still fluctuating and liable
to change. This applies equally to
the future of disarmament and the
whole international situation.
Consequently, our defensive posi-
ton will have to be kept constantly
under review. and we reserve the right
to modify or adjust the program in
the light of new factors that may
arise"

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July ia naval con-
ference is certain to be held in 1885,
it was believed in international circles
today as American negotiators COM
pleted their bilateral discussions on
naval questions with Great Britain.
Confidence that next years inter-
national meeting will be held was
expressed, despite existing differences
in the policies OF world sea power.
1t was felt there Is an excellent
possibility of reconciling these differ
ences and of extending the present
treaty or writing similar one.
Hope for Genuine Success.
With the suspension of preliminary
discussions here until Autumn there
was a general hope that renewal of
the negotiations after lapse OF sew
eral months will establish a basis for
a genuine success of the projected
1885 meeting.
The Washington and London
treaties have been very constructive
and beneficial forces in preventing a

ments," one leader said. The opin-
ion is held generally among the
powers that the ground gained must
be held, and 1t appears the nations at
the 1885 conference will strive to
make 1t certain that no backward step
is taken"
Davis Praises Efforts.
Norman Davis, American Ambassador
at Large. said the bilateral discussions
with Great Britain have been very
beneficial, frank and friendly"
Davis denied in his last conference
with American correspondents, that
there had been anything approaching
breakdown of the conversations.
The discussions, he added, had been
purely exploratory in nature each
side going fully into its point of view
on questions of limitation Of naval
armament and international agree
ments
Davis said he presumed the dis
cussions between the two countries
would be resumed in the Fall He Is
prepared to come back to London
then. He and other delegates viii

PARK LINK FUND
MAY Be APPROVED
Ickes Expected to Act at
Once on D. c. Need.
100000 Recommended.

Secretary Ickes probably will ap-
prove an ALLEGATION of sufficient funds
to complete the connecting link be-
tween Rock Greek Park and Potomac
Park before he leaves on his vacation
tomorrow night.
At least $4,000 has been recon-
mended for park Improvements in the
District, 1t was learned unofficially,
out Of the IS ,00O, 900 fund made avail
able for new roads and trails in ma
tional parks under the so-called Hay
den act This will be the first time
the District has participated in di-
vision OF annual road improvement
funds for national parks, it was said.
Acting Director A. E. Demaray of
the National Park Service submitted
to Secretary Ickes Tuesday recon-
mendations for the expenditure Of the
entire amount of this IS 900 600 fund
which was said to include amounts
for Potomac and Rock Greek Parks
as well as other park Improvements
in Washington.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1934-07-19
$lOO, 900 In Reserve.

The District Commissioners recently
reserved 100000 from the more than
$500, 900 contributed to the District
from the United States Bureau Of
Public Roads, to help toward COM
plotting the connecting link between
the two parks here from P street to
K street. From the sum which Is
expected to be turned over to Capital
parks, sufficient amount will be al
located to complete this long desired
project.
With the amount to be given by the
District Commissioners it is probable
a total of about 100000 will be made
available very soon to build an under
pass under the new P street traffic
bridge and the necessary roadways
leading directly into Potomac drive
way at K street. This will give
through traffic from lower Potomac
Park to northwest suburban district
through Rock Creek Park, thereby re-
lieving congested traffic on P street,
Connecticut avenue, Wisconsin avenue
and other through arteries.
$4,000 for Parkway.
While definite information was
lacking, it is understood $4,000 has
been set aside for completion Of the
George Washington parkway on the
Virginia side, leading to Arlington
Memorial Bridge.
Arlington County and the State Of
Virginia also are expected to furnish
funds toward this work
Smaller amounts from the general
ALLEGATION will be used, 1t was said in
building roadways through the Mall
and improving and providing work
on the parks in connection with the
Governments building program
1t was learned that Secretary Ickes
intends to make a personal investiga-
ton Of the conditions existing at the
P Street Bridge to see for himself the
desirability of extending the Rock
Greek Park drive to Potomac Park.
Since he leaves tomorrow night, 1t
might be possible that the allotment
would have to be postponed to allow
him time for the inspection after he
returns.
In the ordinary routine of business
1t was expected Mr.. Ickes would ap-
prove the various recommendations
for expenditures of the $4,000, 900 ma

MAKERS
PROFITS SANK,
SAYS INGALLS,
Former Hoover Aid Asserts Cut
Was Made on Federal Threat
to Manufacture
BY International News Service

The threat that the Govern
ment would construct it's own air
craft caused airplane and engine
manufacturers profits to decline
after 1929, David S. ingalls,, for
mer Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy, today told a House Naval
Affairs subcommittee.
The committee is investigating
profits made by aircraft manu-
facturers through Navy contracts
from 1925 to the present time.
Says Profits Dropped
Mr.. ingalls, testified that during
his two-year term in office, begin
ming in March, 1929, high profits
made by the aircraft manufac-
turers dropped considerably.
Mr.. ingalls, denied that there
had been any collision between
Navy officials and bidders for
construction contracts. He also
expressed the opinion that there
had been no agreements between
the Pratt-Whitney and Wright
Aeronautical companies, the two
largest sources of supply for mill
tary engines.
Cites Decline
The average profits by all COM
panies supplying aircraft to the
Navy Department between 1925
and 1888 was lis per cent, Mr..
ingalls, told the committee.
He said the five-year naval air
construction program, begun in
1925, with an estimated cost of
IS million dollars, had been COM
pleted by 1880, after an expendi-
ture of only SD million dollars.
