FRENCH COPYING
METHODS OF u. S.
FOR TELEPHONES

To Seventy-six People,
Against One To

French long-distsnce telephone lines
are now being constructed on Amer
lean principles, says M. Paul Laffont.
Under-Secretary Of State for Posts.
Telegraphs and Telephones. in an In
terview recently published in the Paris
edition Of the New York Herald.
M. Laffont pays high tribute to the
excellence Of American telephone
methods. and admits that In France
there is no universal system on
no-delay basis" He attributes the
inferiority Of the French Government
owned telephone system to scarcity
Of funds, pointing out that 1T has
never had sufficient appropriations,
and these were allotted for the period
of the fiscal year"
A financial organization of the De-
partment Of Posts, Telegraphs ana
Telephones has, however, been voted
by the Chamber of Deputies and the
Financial Committee Of the Senate.
M. Laffont expresses the opinion that,
under the new arrangement, the
postal administration will In future
act on practical business principles
and that the realization Of its develop
.ment program will practically remedy
the present deficiencies Of the French
telepL one system"
According to the latest available
figures, however, France has only one
telephone for every 76 persons, as
compared with one telephone for every
seven people in the United States.
