FRANCE OBSERVES AMERICAN HOLIDAY fireaiest Celebration Since War Marks Tribute to United States. By the Associated Pross. PARIS, July nee knew n Inde-| ¥y was ob- | ar Faria and the provinces than ‘an Fourth of July To a great extent the terest of the French in the da attributed to the fact that three times within the last aviators have crossed i')h( | and that six of the seven can fivers who made these flights were in ywhere in the capital, on an\ public buildings and on many pri ones, the S nd der a perfect blue sky and in glorious Summer weather, while in many pro- vincial cities as well the American flag | flew beside the Tricolor. | The Parisian newspapers made much of Independence day. It was first paze mews in all of them. most of them devoting several columns to the various ceremonies with the American colony and the themselves celebrated the day, Following long <hed custom. the first ceremony at the tomb of Lafayctte During the ‘morning Charge D'Affaires Sheldon White. house, who is in charge of the Am fcan embas: 7 the absence of Ambas: in the United States, placed a wreath on the last resting place of the great Frenchman | who helped the United States win its freedom.

The ceremonies here were conducted by the organization of American volunteers who fought in the French army during the World War. Comdr. Richard E. Byrd and Lieut. Bernt Balchen were present at this ceremony. At six o'clock last night, members of the American Legion and the staff of the American embassy visited the Tomb of the French Unknown Sol- der. Last night at a banquet given at the Palais D'Orsay by the American Chamber of Commerce, there was a large assembly of the American col- ony in Paris. Many distinguished Frenchmen also were present. Comdr. Byrd, Clarence D. Chamberlin and the remaining transatlantic fiyers were ‘honored guests. INCREASED CRUISER LIMIT IS PROPOSED BY U. S.

It was to avoid such possible at- tacks at the very heart of Japan in the future that the Japanese asked the right to construct an unrestricted number of tiny submarines which, like wasps, could sting all hostile comers, the Japanese argument ran. Japan asked this right by exception. Expect Similar French Demand. Great Britain, it is understood, however, immediately saw_ that France, separated from the British shore only by a narrow channel, might utilize the Japanese exception to demand a similar right for small French submarines—a demand which ‘would be difficult to accord from the British viewpoint since France's proximity would be a far different thing for England than Japan's iso- lation in the Far East. - The indications today were that Japan would be given satisfaction by the accordance of a higher percentage of submarines than is denoted by ‘Washington's ratio of 5—5—3 on Iflt&l ships. n the meanwhile the Associated Press understands that the Japanese delegation, while not insisting on making a change in the Washing- ton decisions at Geneva, earnestly RENT A BOX for yourself and wife.

The American delegation presuma- bly would not oppose the inaugura- tion of studies of the question, and it is likely that the battleship problem, which ~ was raised originally by Great Britain, will be settled in this manner. See Tri-Power Pact Endangered. Further examination of Chu Chao- Hsin's statement yesterday concerning China’s attitude on the negotiations at Geneva In so far as they may affect her teads some of the delegates here to the conclusion that it was directed not only to reports of a possible re- newal of the Anglo-Japanese allianc but also to the mooted tri-powe security pact which many still think may emerge from the Geneva nego- tiations. It is belleved that the Chinese resent any idea of concluding a pact founded on the Pacific which would not include China as a party, for the Nationalists are unable to perceive the possibility of any political agreement here which would not touch Chinese interests. This sudden development, it is felt in some quarte may cool any Japanese advocacy of a tri-power pact, as the Japanese, it is stated do not sh to offend China, which they be- slowly becoming unified and Experts Issue Communique. An official communique was issued fternoon at the close of a brief meeting by the technical experts reading as follow: “An agreement was arrived on a submarine question which has been A brief di ion of followed h a view to djusting the re- quirements cruisers of the several powers. The cominittee adjourned to enable the delegations to study this question in detail.” It is understood that the question upon which accord was reached today refers to the size of the torpedo tubes of submarines, HALE INS| ON PARITY. Senate Naval Committee Head Looks for Agreement. BAR HARBOR, Me., July 5 (®).— Congress and the American people will never consent to any agreement at the Geneva naval conference “that subordinates our Navy to that of any other nation in the world,” Senator Frederick Hale of Maine, chairman of the Senate naval affairs committee, told the State convention of the Amer- ican Legion today. Expressing the hope that the Amer- ican delegates at the conference w be able to bring about an agreement that will result in application of the 5—5—3 ratio to other than capital ships and carriers and that eventually France and Italy will enter such an agreement, he added: “When such an agreement shall have been brought about I fully be- lieve a general cut-down all along the line on the terms of the ratio may be brought about and in this way that the burden of armament may be lightened on the shoulders of the people. A powerful dmerican Navy, he sald, “is the strongest factor for peace in the world.” P The new Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan consists of 1,300 square miles of primitive forest and lake country. THE EVENING BYRD MAKES LE BOURGET TRIP INSPECTS (Continued_from First Page) From the ministry the flyers went to the offico of the newspaper L'Intran- sigeant, where again there was “wine of honor” to drink and words of praise to hear, this time from Leon Bailby, the publisher. “Wo thought that your great coun- tryman Lindbergh would have taken the whole sum of enthusiasm of the French people,” he said, “but that is not true, as you see for vourself. Your flight was the more difficult of the two, & fact which the French peo- ple have recognized.” May Sail ly 12. | Comdr. Byrd is likely to leave for | home on the steamer Leviathan, sail- Ing July 12, although the date of his departure has not vet been. definitely fixed. It was stated that he and his transatlantic flight companions have decided to leave Paris Saturday and spend the week end at Le Toque, the famous watering resort. Byrd and his companions with Clarence D. Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine, who preceded them in flight across the Atlantic, were the central figures in Paris’ Independence day celebrations. They were ac- claimed by crowded boulevards. The six Americans had luncheon with Louls Bleriot, who gained aero- nautic fame by flying across the Eng- lish Channel 18 years ago, attended an Independence day ceremony in the Place des Etats Unis, and were the Kuests of the awerican Chamber of | Commerce at its annual Fourth July banquet. At the Chamber of Commerce ban-| quet the airmen were cheered by thoi: ! fellow countrymen and by Marshal Foch, former President Millerand, Gen. Gouraud and a hundred or so other prominent Frenchmen, Comdr. Byrd shared the honor of launching the first attempt at broad- casting_speeches across the Atlantic, with Marshal Foch and. M. Bokan' owski, minister of public works. During the dgy Comdr. Byrd called on Marshal Foch and the noted war leader described the flight as one of the greatest feats in history. To this Comdr. Byrd replied: “There is no one in the world I would rather hear say that than you.” Mines Affect Compass. In his speech at the banquet the commander declared that if a; American had doubt of-France's hig regard, he or she ought to make a non-stop flight from America to France. He believed it was not so much the flyer that the French people acclaimed, but the flag the flyers carry, the emblem of America. Comdr. Byrd visited Jules J. Jusse- rand, former French Ambassador to the United States, at the hospital where he is a patient. He got a new explanation from the former Ambas- sador as to why his compass did not function properly toward the close of the transatlantic flight. M. Jusserand believed it likely that the compass was affected by the iron mines in the Calvados section of Nor- mandy, over which the plane passed, as ships off the Calvados coast often reported that their compasses went bad. Flying Given Stimulus, Comdr. Byrd gave one of the three propellers of the America to Chamber- lin and Levine, who have been using a German propeller since their orig- inal blades were damaged, when they made their forced landing at Klinge D.
