Paris To Follow Bri- tish Lead In Pro- blem - Confer On New Plan.

PARIS Ian. 11 —(AP)-I‘rance apparentl decided today to stay clear of Spanish war.

The Government said it would not give aid to the Spanish Gov- eminent unless Great Britalndid, and Britain ap ‘ determined not to interfere.

Government leaders wrestled with the problem throughout the day and at one point considered the advisability o taking the bull by the horns and acting on their own, but risk of l. war in which France might find herself alone seemingly was too much. ‘

Foreign Minister Georges Bon- net wound up the day by an- nouncing ‘France would revise her p y of non-intervention in Spain only if Britain did. Re was careful. however, not to close thel door too tightly on the hopes of a considerable portion of the French . Parliament, which was demand- ng help for Spain's government.

Seek Solution

France and Britain, he said, were conferring on s. solution which might end Italian and Ger- man aid to the Spanish Insurgerlts without risking war.

The nature of the plan was not disclosed. Word from mndon was that the British Government did not look at all favorably on the idea oi’ ope the French frontier, closed to iablpmemt . oi arms to Government Bpein since last spring,

Meanwhile, re from Berlin stated Ger-many would regard the reopening oi the border as a high- ly dangerous act. The "Government- controlled prem of Italy published a paiement that 44,000,000 Italians "unit in the face" oi the French Republic.

Premier Dalgjlerhs vlight in the face oi the il..urgenis' continuing advance on Barcelona and evident unwillingness of Britain to sanc- tion aid to Spanish Government armies was put on public display

Says Reich Lewis so... Arrive

BY TED FARAH Canadians Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 1'1 —(CP)—- Germany has reached the limit of

its capecl to roduce warplanes and Grea Brl ain is rapidly catching up with her, Lewis C.

Ord said tonight following his ar- rival from London on the French Liner Ila de France.

The man who will engineer pro- duction of bombing planes in Can- ada for the British Air Ministry

spoke freely both on and oii the record for The Canadian Press, and was in declaring it

would be slow work gearing in- dustries in. the Dominion to the intricate task of turning out mod- ern flying machines of war.

"Lashed" To Canada

Ord, in his 50's, tall and quiet- spoken, has left an important _exeoutive post in the British Air. Ministry to serve as General Man- ager of Canadian Associated Alr- craft, the group of six firms in Canada which have contracted to fill orders for bombing planes for the Royal Air Force. Hewilipro- ceed immediately to Montreal to assume his duties in cooperation with Paul F. Sise. head of C.A.C., and representatives of, the com- ponent firms.

Irish Extremists Blamed In London Bombings.

LONDON, Jan. l7 —(AP)—— Police guards were intensified at public utility properties and homes oi public officials, including that oi Prime Minister Chamberlain, today while searches were con- ducted in three counties for perpetrators. oi a series of bomb-

ngs.

Scotland Yard attributed the explosions to the illegal Irish Rie- ublican Army. Ten cccurredyes- erday in London. Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham. Belfast and other cities. Another today damaged a. power line pylon in Birmingham.

Guards were stationed at Mr. Chamberlain's residence at No. 10 Downing Street, and at dockyards. gas and power plants and other vital sports.

Police rounded up extremist Irishmen living in England in the search for possible rlngleadcrs. No arrests were reported.

Scotland Yard operatives took charge of the Investigation in consultation with Home Secretary Sir Samuel Hoar-e and narrowed their operations to finding six men whom they said they "wank.- ed for questioning."

without making a severe sacrifice in some other direction, which would upset its national economy. The population has bare enough food to live on the way irlgs are, he said.

“Such is iar from the case with us," he added.

Intricate Business

As for the intricacy of {oduc- ing modern all-nletal bombing planes of the type required by the Air Ministry, 0rd said that not including bolts, rivets and nuts. there are roughly 18,000 separate bolts, rivets and nuts, there are pieces that go info the making of such planes no two or four are a- like.

‘Price and everything is sacri- ficed by the air ministry in the interests of getting maximum performance in the air," he stated. "It will be slow work to oulld up to a start. Experience in building machines of other types is of very little value when it comes to manuacture of planes made of the various aluminium- alloys.

"Ihis much can be said. Great Britain can take all the planes Canada. can produce in a short time."

Ord said he didn't mean in five years. But within the short space, say, of a. few years. I-Ie said he expected full cooperation from all the firms in Canadian Associated Aircraft. He would n commit himself on when delivery oi lanes wouldbe likely. Tilrflrsir-o der is a trial order and comes under the heading oi “educational,” he said.

Passengers were Clarence Clark and his 20-year-old son from Grand Entry, the latter be- lieved coming to hospital here ior an appendicitis operation. Other passengers were Mrs. Alan Rich- ards who brought her three-year- old son for treatment. The little fellow was threatened with pneu- monia, it was understood Richards are from Grosse Isle.

In the two round flights 1200 pounds of mail were carried out- ward and 200 pounds on the return flights.

In addition to the passmgere yesterday three came up from the Magdalene Monda . Rena. Deveau of Amherst, and Lulu Gray a. patient for hospital here from G/rindstone and D. M. Chisholm. from the same plaice who accom-
