FROM MODEL RESORT
ONE HUNDRED ACRE TRACT IN
FRANCE TO EXCLUDE THE
AMERICANS, ENGLISH
PARIS, Dec. 17. (IP)—All foreigners
will be barred from the model resort
which is being laid out on the Cap D’
Antibes, between Nice and Cannes, by
a syndicate of North France indus
‘ trialists. The syndicate is headed by
Louis Loucheur, a former cabinet
minister. This is the first time in the
history of the Riviera that French
property holders have banded to
gether to exclude Americans and
English.
One hundred acres of the finest land
on the Cap D’ Antibes has been pur
chased by the syndicate. The plan
is to make the settlement the most
exclusive in France. The members
of the syndicate have pledged them
selves not to permit any of the prop
erty to pass out of French hands.
This move is not being accepted
agreeably by the community. Man}
French business men have protested
to the departmental authorities, point
ing out that British and American
money is largely responsible for the
prosperity of the district.
