PARIS, May 29.-France's future
policy in central Europe has been
clearly defined in the debates in the
chamber of deputies on the ratifca-
ton Of the Austrian peace treaty.
Shb aims to create sympathy and
friendship among the newly created
states in order to have them as allies
against any resuscitation OF pan-Ger-
manfsm, and she means to prevent,
and Austria. This will be accom-
plished by extending aid and encour-
agement to Austria.

PARIS, May 29-British and French
nationals are combining in the oil
industry both in the British donfin-
ions and the French colonies. They
are actuated by a desire to escape
what is termed the "dictatorial pol
icy" of the American Oil Trust. a-.
This was made clear today by a
high government official who said
the discussion of the oil policy in
the United States had found an echo
in France. He added,
Although the British government
has undoubtedly been trying to as
sure the emancipation of the British
companies from the control of the
American company. and France has
been trying to cooperate with her
to a certain extent. yet the fears of a
foreign monopoly expressed in the
United States seem premature and
exaggerated"
The American company still fur
nishes 20 per cent of the oil consumed
in Europe, and must continue to do
so for some time to come.
