The news that France has de.
cided to increase her aerial forces,
despite the fact she already has the
most powerful air fleet in the
world, aroused widespread interest
here.
The French Chamber of Deputies

Allies Lack Of Control.
An inter-allied aviation control
commission, soon after the armis-

1922, almost all regulations have
been lifted. An interallied commit

aviation, this will be withdrawn

Fonck asserts. But Germany's
greatest effort is concentrated in
Russia German engineers in Mos

who construct aviation engines and
wings from materials imported from

Fonck does not ask that Germany
be forbidden to construct airplanes.
He simply pleads that France
build enough planes to successfully
combat any German menace that
may arise.

through her mind in a fash. and she
saw where a chance, very prob

skirts frantically.
