MONEY VOTED FOR NEW PLANES

HUGE CONSTRUCTION PLAN ADVOCATED

(By Telepraph. Copyright, Telegraphis Messages Ordinance, 1895. Received, February 20, 8.35 am).

Washington, Feb. 19. Following a visit to the White House, Representa- tive John J. McSwain, Democrat advocate of a powerful American Air Force, to-day recommended a five-year aircraft construction programme which would provide 4,000 new machines for the United States Army Air Corps and 2,200 for the Navy, says the United Press. .

Meanwhile, the largest expenditure upon the United States Army for fifteen years is provided for in the estimates to-day approved by the House of Re- presentatives, Appropriations Committee, Reuter reports.

In addition to the immense expenditure on army equipment, and so on, provision is made for building 547 new military aeroplanes of the very fastest and most deadly fighting class which America can produce.

A total of $318,000,000, or more than £60,000,000, is allocated for the Army's fiscal year, ending June 30, 1936. The increase in proposed ex- penditure is $48,000,000 an com- pared with the estimates for the present year, now drawing to a cluso,

GLOOMY PREDICTION OF ECONOMIST

New York, Feb. 19.

The possibility that the last has not been heard of the Gold Clause problem was suggested by Professor Cyril James, economist of Pennsylvania University to day, who is quoted as saying:

"The decisions of the United States Supreme Court do not preclude foreign Governments holding United States bonds from suing to recover $169 for every $100 American bond containing the gold clause.".

He contends that provate holders might take ad- vantage of this opportunity and consign their holdings to foreign Governments,
