France Plans to
Nationalize Its
Maritime Lines
Paris (IP France now has at
her exclusive disposal only about
150,000 tons of merchant ship
ping, which is one-twentieth of
her entire merchant fleet in 1939.
It total then 2,900,000 tons.
' This extraordinarily low figure
is due to the fact that part of the
fleet has been sunk or destroyed,
and another part either is used
by the allies or has been requisl-
tioned bv foreign .countries such
as Japan and the Argentine Re
public. It is confirmed that 800,000 tons
of French merchant vesnels have
been destroyed; although the fate
of 1,000,000 tons remains uncer
tain, loss of the greater portion
of this latter tonnage is probable.
Thus, there are still 1,100,000 tons
of French merchant shipping
afloat, but 850,000 tons being used
by the allied navies, and 100,000
tons held in Japanese and Argen
tine ports, it means France has
praottcally jio merchant marine
at present.
Subsidies to End
The reconstruction of a mer
chant fleet is one of the major
problems the French government
will face as soon as it becomes
materially possible to tackle it.
French shipowners are anxious
to have a free hand but Minister
of Transport Rene Mayer an
nounced the government contem
plates nationalization of regular
lines. Accordingly, cargoes having
no fixed itineraries and tramp
steamers can continue In the
hands of private concerns, but in
stead of continuing to cash big
government subsidies, the other
companies must fall under direct
state administration.
Minister Mayer said that one or
two "societies of public service"
will be formed to operate in ac
cordance with the different con
ditions of administration. At least
two organizations will function,
.one for north and south Atlantic
traffic; and another for the Medi
terranean and Far Eastern traf
fic. These societies will be under

Until nationalization can be ac
complished, a provisional commit
tee will replace the boards of
administration in the subsidized
companies: this committee is to
include civil servants, union dele
gates and representatives of tech
nicians in the shipbuilding indus
try, all of whom will be desig
nated by the Minister of Trans
port. The committee will admin
ister the fleet belonging to each
subsidized company, control the
company Itself, and prepare the
organization of the Society of
Public Service.
Plan Sea-Air Services
In spite of that prospect,
French shipowners are planning
for post-war purposes a closer co
operation between sea and air
transport. Many feel that such
co-operation can be developed
much more than it has bien in
the past. As early as 1935, one
French company doubled its mer
chant traffic on the line from
French Senegal to Congo, using
transport planes for that purpose.
It was quite successful, and the
combined sea and air services on
the same line worked smoothly
under the same management.
More services of this nature may
be started.
There has been no fresh devel
opment In the question of French
ships requisitioned by the Argen
tine government. The French
companies owning these ships
have adopted the Do Gaulle gov
ernment point of view and ex
pressed their opinion that the
three ships held in the Argentine
should Be returned to their
French owners. It is probable
that this question will come up
again shortly.

representing 34 states, have al
ready registered for. the exposi
tion of the national association of
home builders in Chicago, Jan. 15
20. George F. Nixon, chairman of

"is a definite indication of tremen
dous interest on the part of pro
fessional home building agencies.
"The public is eagerly waiting
to learn at first hand what manu
facturers of building materials
and home equipment participat
ing in the exposition will have to
tell in their postwar story for
prospective home owners."
The exhibits, which are expect
ed to number more than 300, will
be produced in miniature and in
clude complete, representation of
materials and equipment which
go into home building needs.
