FRENCHMEN SELL MACHINE. INDIGNATION IN MOSCOW. LONDON, Oct. 16. The Soviet, aviation authorities, says the Moscow correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, are most indignant at tho action of the French airmen, Costes and Belleconte, who recently made a record flight of 5200 miles, in flying across Russian territory into Manchuria and selling their aeroplane to the Chinese, whereas the permit stipulated that they should not fly beyond Irkutsk, in Siberia. They stigmatise the flight as a violation of the,laws, an abuse of hospitality, and a hostile act.
