MATCH MONOPOLY BANNED IN FRANCE Senate Votes 163 To 1I9 In Con-
 fidence Appeal


 PARIS, March 16.-The ssenate to, day voted the suppression of fhe match monopoly 163 to 119. after the govern ment had made the vote question of confidence. Thus the senate refused to follow the opinion of its finance com mittee, which opposed suppression. The four hours debate turned chiefly on whether state industries were practi. cable or advisable.
 M. De Lasteyrie, the finance minis ter, in advocating suppression of the monopoly said that the state,s profits from matches came from those il bought abroad and re.sold In France not from those it manufactured. The United States was cited as example in favor of company-owrsS Telephone service which, the minister declared was superior to a state-owned service. He promised to watch Out that no match trust was formed.
