with an assertion that Frances feet
would consist of 1880 modern planes
by the end of the year and at the
present time is the strongest on the
continent.
The newest French pursuit planes,
he said. were capable of 300 miles en-
hour and the bombers 294, adding
that these speeds were "aoticeably su-
perior to similar planes of Germany
and England"
Passage of the air budget brought
the total military appropriations to
date to 1D.00O0GO,000 francs (about
$4,000, ,O00). This completed the or
dinary defense appropriations, but the
Chamber may be called upon later to
