MONOPOLY ON OIL
WOULD HIT j. s.
Program of Government Con.
troll Is Being Studied by
French Officials.

PARIS OP)-A state oil monopoly
which would drive American and other
foreign companies from the French
market is being studied by committee
Of the Chamber of Deputies, to which
it was referred after a stiff debate cul-
minating in a vote of confidence in the
Daladier government.
The monopoly, proposed by the Social
ist party, would place all importation
and refining of oil and distribution of
gasoline in the hands of the govern
ment.
American Share Shrinks.
Until 1881 a half dozen American
companies furnished France with more
than half of all the petroleum products
she imported. This business amounted
to about So, $3.50, 900 in 1850 large
slice of the total American trade with
France.
Since then France has been buying
greater quantities from Russia and Ru-
mania and Americas share diminished
from SO per cent in 1880 to 36 per cent
In 1892
Oil is not produced in France and
since the war successive governments
have sought to free the country from
complete dependence on foreign sources.
Opponents Decry Monopoly.
Foreign companies do business under
licenses granted in 1928 for 2O-year
periods. On the basis of these long
term permits, costly establishments have
been built
This fact was evoked in chamber
debate by adversaries of the monopoly,
VINO claimed that 1ndemnities to Amer
lean and other companies in case the
licenses were revoked, would be costly
to the state.
They also said that 200. 1000 men
would be put on the state pay roll by
such a monopoly.
The committee indicated it would
study the question at considerable
length before bringing in a report.
