FRENCH AIR ESTIMATES
DEPUTIES PASS VOTE £15,000,000 FOR RE-EQUIPMENT Times Cable. LONDON, Monday. The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says the Chamber of Deputies passed the Air Ministry's estimates, which totalled £15,000,090. The Minister in charge of the department. M. Laurent Eynac, explained that the programme would primarily be re-equipment. It would also include research in construction. The aim would be to procure quality, not quantity, to amplify and to standardise the machines, to obtain steady and uniform production, to centralise and co-ordinate the training and safeguarding of pilots. The Minister said that the 35 existing aircraft-building companies would be amalgamated into a few large, specialised concerns. By this means he hoped to secure a higher quality of plane at a lower cost. A Socialist deputy said the expenditure on aviation by France exceeded that of any other country.
