in ls45.
Thus (says the Constitutionne under the influence of
this SYSTEM which represented as the death blow to inter
change has nearly doubled and tonnage
| has increased threefold within twenty years"
II admits, however, that the development Of the French
marine is far from being in proportion to the increase Of the
national In 1926 in the aggregate Of
tonnage 2s9 900 tons, the French marine only figured
900 in ls45 the aggregate amount Of tonnage OF the
competing vessels 900 TONS of which only
fell France; that is say decrease from 81 per
