FRENCH A|RFORCE
'PROCRAMLACG|NG
Naturalization of Plants
Forces Government to
Buy in U. S.
Bx PIERRE DENOYER.

PARIS, May 81 N.A.N.A.).-Pur-
chase of 100 airplanes from American
manufacturers, announced by the air
ministry this week, provides additions.
evidence that the naturalization OF
airplane manufactures in France has
had disappointing results so far. Pro-
duction has not lived up to expecta-
tons, and France, like Great Britain,
Is compelled to make purchases or
manufacturing agreements in the
United States. without which she can
not fulfill her rearmament program in
time
The naturalization program was
adopted by the French Parliament in
August, 1886. It had been advocated
by leaders of the Left parties for some
time on two grounds:
l. Most of the manufactures were
situated in the Paris region. Thus
concentrated in small area, at a
short distance from the border Oess
than 80 minutes by airplane), they
were very vulnerable in case Of war
Priavte Plants Anticipated.
2. The private manufactures had
Anticipated equipment. Their produc-
ton was slow. Strikes due to bad
managtMent often made it slower and
delayed deliveries. Their financial
structure was too weak for them to
expand fast enough to face the needs
of the rearmament program. None
was able to buy enough machinery
and equipment to take care of an
expanded war production.
The purpose of the naturalization
law presented by the Popular Front
government. Immediately after coming
to power, was twofold. One was to
remove a number of factories to re-
mote parts of France, where produce
ton might continue, whatever happens
to the northeast of France and to
Paris. The second was to build and
equip the new factories in such q way
that manufacturing on q much larger
scale would soon be possible.
The government could have extended
financial assistance to private COM
panies, and asked them to move to
more modern quarters in distant parts
of the country. But some Of them
were already heavily indebted. It was
preferred to keep a close control of the
use of the government funds injected
In the industry.
Reform Under Pierre Cot.
Under young and daring air min
lister. Pierre Cot, the reform took place.
Most of the private manufacturers
working for the army and navy have
been bought by the government.
Breguet. Bleriot. Potez, Farman,
Bewoitine. Marcel Bloch, ETC., have
been appropriated, against compensa-
ton, Of course.
Six new companies have been
formed to regroup the plants. The
government has a majority interest in
all of them. A few plants have been
retained in Paris and the north of
France. New ones have been created
and old ones have been enlarged In
distant cities like Nantes, Bordeaux,
Toulouse.
