checked, Royal Air Force pilots
rushed from the hangar to greet
the fliers who had nonchalantly
left New York (City yesterday,
barely turned around at Harbor
Grace, Newfoundland, and then
hopped over the Atlantic.
“We had a right good flight. It
has been a splendid trip through
out. In truth it has been a real
joy trip and the only difficulty we
experienced was over a period of
three or four hours during the
early stages of the flight when we
ran into bad weather. The rest of
the journey was enjoyable and the
sea was calm.” \
Declaring that they were out to
break all records for a flight
around the world, Post said that
they are anxious to reach Moscow
by tomorrow. If their fuel held
cut, he added, they might not even
halt at Berlin which is 700 miles

French Reply to Hoover
Offer is Handed to
Ambassador Edge
(Continuad From Tage One)
not be regarded wtih favor in
Waqhingion, it was learned today.
Hence, there was immence in
terest when the French cabinet
Sex Willie!
The Showdown!
No Customers!
met today as to whether it would
adhere to its counter-plan for aid
ing Germany, which was elaborat
ed yesterday and communicated
to Ambassador Edge last night
The cabinet completed the text of
its reply to Hoover this afternoon
and will hand it to Ambassador
Walter E.* Edge later in the day.
This conditional acceptance is
based upon Irance’s belief that
the Young Plan is sacred to her
financial structure and that it
should not be interfered with.
She holds that the bank for inter
national settlement should be the
intermediary for the reception of
Germany’s unconditional annuities
and that the money should be used
by the bank for financing Ger
many and other European nations
such as Austria.
It is understood here that Wash:
ington feele the Hoover plan
should be accpeted in its entiret;
and technicalities of the Young
plan should not be allowed to af
feet it.
Hope is Held.
Should the French cabinet de
cide to approve the counter plan,
hope was voiced here that the
United States would accord the
move its earnest consideration be
cause France is convinced it would
attain the object which Mr. Hoo
ver is seeking in his proposal.
It is submitted that France,
called upon to make a big sacri
fice in either event, should be pgr
mitted to offer a suggestion as to
how the problem can be met, Be
hind her policy, it was said, is the
fear that once shaken the Young
plan will finally fall completely.
Conservative Le Journal says
“The Hoover plan involves a sus
pension of the Young nlan and
suspension means that the pay
ments will never be resumed. The
French plan mainiains the princi
ple of the payments and thus the
future is safeguarded.”
On the other hand, Le Matin
says the French government will
accept the positive collaboration
under the Hoover plan without
abandoning French interests.
The business newspaper La
Journal says “one cannot believe
that he (Hoover) imagined for a
moment that he was offering a
