PARIS, Sept. 14 (UP).—Minister of War Painleve has returned from a personal inspection of the eastern frontier fortifications with renewed | confidence in France’s plan of de. fense and with proposals for con centration of work on the “nerve centers” of the eastern border. In an interview the war minister | revealed an “ingenious method” on which the northeastern, eastern and | southeastern frontier defenses are based, “The plan is based on an unusual method which unites the best advice | of specialists of different countries,” he told the United Press correspond- ent. “taking into consideration the | Fpothods of a continued frontier or Tsparated regions or intensive con- Bontration of strength in certain Spots.” Machine-Gun Fire. “There are certain regions which I visited on my trip that are covered with bristling underbrush. These sections will be so arranged that, on 2 minute’s notice, they may be forti- fied with machine guns and pro- tected by barbwire. “Such regions are virtually ready for use today if the need should arise. They need onlv the installa- tion of garrisons when the time comes for their protection.” Recent accounts of French forti- fieations and plans for the future developments indicate that the coun- try is to have the greatest line of defense from the northeastern coast | to the Alps that ever was known. It will be an extensive line of fortifications and secondary bases and—by the time for withdrawing the French troops from Germany— the French frontier will be so firmly guarded that authorities believe not even the most modern war machine | uuld dent, it. uto Workers Learn) Red Platform | | Continued from Page One nition of Soviet Russia, war danger, etc. The Election Campaign Committee | is determined to have Communist speakers in all of these factories thruout the auto industry in the city of Detroit and as well as the vicinity of Detroit.

Persecution, mass arrests, long prison terms, anti-pic-| keting decisions and brutal third degree methods have been the lot of the fighting textile workers in New Bedford and Fall River.

TOUR FRENCH AIRPLANE FORCE PERFECTED FOR FUTURE WAR British War Minister Aids Maneuvers PARIS. Sept. 14.—While talk of useless disarmaments continues: the French aerial authorities, following the lead of their British ally, will start aerial battles over Paris to- morrow morning in which 400 air- planes will particinate and at which British experts will be present. The maneuvers will continue for 48 hours, observed by the keen eye of Sir Samuel Hoare, British air minister, and a group of high-rank- ing British and French army offi- cers. A theoretic attack on the city will be staged wv the purpose of. discovering weaknesses in the de- fensive as well as the offensive abil- ities of the French air force. Many observors here point to these maneuvers as the further proof of the Franco-British alliance, which has many more implications than have been made public. Labor | Faker.
