TEACHES LESSON
NV Associated Pr.ssl

PARIS, FraLce.-lt was not until
the battle of the Marine was at its
height when war munitions were run
ming low that the French government
realized the imperious need OF an
intense production OF war materials,
according TO statements made by
Albert Thomas, Minister OF Munitions.
In the Chamber OF Deputies. NJ.
Thomas was speaking In reply TO
criticism of the conditions under
which war materials had been suppl
ed to the French army ...-
From the assertions, it appears that
the French Department had estimat-
ed before the war that il would be
necessary for state arsenals to produce
not more than $4,000 shells day. In
the belief that the conflict would be
short. no provision whatever was
made for the production of explosives
during the hostilities. T..
When it was discovered. during the
battle of the Marne, that this estimate
was insuffic lent. Alexandra Millerand.
the Minister of War. summoned to
bordeaux the heads of all manufactur-
ing establishments available and or.
ganized them into groups for the rapid
production Of S-inch shells. .-..
Neither the government nor the
manufacturers had then any basis for
figuring the costs, The exceptional
conditions ana the great need Of
Immediately replenishing the supply,
NJ. Thomas said, accounted for the abb
normal prices ard for the fabulous
profits reaped by the manufacturers.
Threein shells at that time cost the
government fifteen francs each. Today
they are purchased at prices ranging
from six francs and fifty eentimes TO
seven francs and fifty centimes.

placed $4,000 contracts of artillery.

he added, have been under the control
of the state from the beginning. Re-
plying to deputies who demanded that
all industries able tn contribute to the
national defence should be requisi-
toned by the government, NJ. Thomas
declared that this would cause dis.

for a regime under which the state
would exercise a control and share in
