PARIS, Aug. 10-The discovery that
German capital had gained control of
the French Establishments Kuhlmann
dye concern and chemical works,
which are of great Importance for the
manufacture of dyestuffs and war
materials, has caused number of
French senators to introduce a meas
ure in the senate that provides that
a French stakeholder will have ten
votes for every single vote cast by
foreign investors.
The step taken by the Kuhltnann Dye
company of floating new 500, 100000
stock issue to offset German control is
being seriously considered by two Of
the largest metal and mining and re-
filming companies of France. They in
tend to float new issue OF stock that
must be registered with the firm with
special inducements for French pur-
.chasers and barring to as great an ex-
tent as possible foreign investors.
Much foreign capital is finding its way
into France. The fall of the franc
has accelerated the flow of invest
ment capital FROM nations that have
a much more stable currency.
