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. .

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.
