GREAT FRENCH
ACEIN POLITIX
Fonck Now Engages In Ora
torical Flights in Cham
Der Of Deputies.

From death-dealing, death defy
ing flights over the enemy lines,
Fonck. the greatest aviation ace
which the war produced, has since
the armistice readjusted his life
merely to making oratorical flights
in the French Chamber of Deputies.
Along with Gen. Castelneau. Gen.
Hirschsuer and half a dozen other
great French military leaders which
the war produced. Fonck has entered
the field of politics. In all of these
men only one motive has been pre-
dominant for the change and that
has been to see to it that the French
army. navy and aviation get a
square deal and adequate support
from parliament
All of Frances great military
chiefs from Joffre, Foch and Petain
down are still convinced that IL the
French parliament before the wal
had listened to their pleas for ade.
quate financial support for the army
France would not only have come
out financially ahead by many bill
lions of marks. but by a million hu.
man lives at least.
Fonck has given for himself the
task of seeing to IL that Frances
aerial supremacy, to which he con-
tributed during the war by officially
bringing down IS German planes, Is
assured by adequate support.
As a result of his efforts II is now
certain that the French Chamber oi
Deputies will make appropriation:
big enough not only to keel uf
Frances military aviation to the
standard attained during the war
but also to secure the commercia
supremacy of the air.

Inspectors to Weed
Mexican Consuls Here

Active steps to weed out inehi-
cient Mexican consuls in the United
States are under way. Two in
spectors are now touring the States
and making a study of Mexico's
representatives. They are men in
whom the Mexican government has
complete confidence, and the con-
suls they condemn as unit will be
removed. The two are Guillermo
de Maria Campos and Luis r.
Sanchez.
Senior Campos will make inspec-
tions In the East and Senior Sanches
in the West. Their work will KEEP
them busy for about six months.
In addition to looking for inem-
cient consuls, the inspectors will
recommend changes which. they
think will improve the Mexican
consular service.
