He showed Mrs. Lindbergh the tablet erected at Le Bourget on the spot where he landed, stunted at Villacoublay in an acrobatic plane, visited the Air Ministry's experimental laboratory.

We have decided to cut Government costs mercilessly. It is impossible to ask the taxpayers to pay more. . . . We pledge France to continue the foreign policy of Aristide Briand-full co-operation with the League of Nations. We shall refuse to enter into separate disarmament negotiations with Germany...
