CRITICISM IS PART OF HUN PROPAGANDA (Contiued rrom page 1) though no evidence bad been produc ed to prove it. Money Kueni Carefully. Replying to a written list of ques tions that had been prepared by the sub-committee on aviation. Mr. Pot ter gave a detailed statement as to what has been done with the money congress appropriated last year for array aviation. He said of the $307. 000.000, actually spent. $163,000. 000 went for airplanes, engines and equipment, including spare ; parts. About $42,000,000 was spent for construction of banrars and acquisi tion of aviation fields in this coun try and $32,000,000 for similar pur poses in France. There Is $31,000,000 in the hands of disbursing agents, details of which were mt reported, and $5. 000,000 has .been spent for gas (or balloons. fThe balance, be said.-bad been.'spent for experimentation ajid other activities. Further details were given, but t Secretary Baker's request they were treated as military fecrets. . Ulierfy Knginc N'ot Bent. Hepresentati - Anthony said he had seen "a letter statins that dur ing March the German airplanes flew at will and unmolested over the al lied lines, taking photographs. Gen eral Sqnier replied that it tlll is possible for airplanes of the enemy to fir over the allied lines and take pictures and that It also Is poeslble for the allied places to oo ine same work over the German lines. - Mr. Potter said that the French and British governments, while they were satisfied that the liberty motor is a good engine and economical in gas ana on. prererrea ine nagaiLi and HisDano-Huiza engines and at the request of the French govern ment the war department had. can celled two contracts for the liberty motor, of 500fr each, to manufacture instead the two French types. He said that the liberty -motor Is good for the heavier aircraft, the bombing machines and other heavy work, out that it requires great breadth of wing, and is not 'adapta ble to the swirter craft that go after the enemy's fast air raiders. ; Mch Tim Wanted. If there is any criticism to be made of the aircraft situation. Mr. Potter told the committee. IMs JLhat too much time may have been wasted in experimenting with the develop ment of a new, single type of engine, taking up time that could have been used in setting better results from existing engine types. He said air craft (progress has been obstruct by lack of sufficient spruce and that of. the spruce that was ob tained for air machines in this coun try, four-nrths was shipped over to the allies, leaving only one-nrth for the 'American airplane manufacture. Since General Foch had become gen eralissim6. he explained, it Is pre sumed that the French had supplied adequate airplanes 'all along .the Tront. ' . Representative Kahn. California, ranking Republican ; member, said arter the hearing that Mr. Potter's explanation was satisfactory. He added that he was satisfied no crim inality existed and that, while the motors have not -been nroduced oa schedule time, the delay resulted chiefly from changes in plans and from 4 refusal of co-belligerents to agcee on them promptly.
