A Spiration GERMANY'S RETREATING ARMIES NAUGHT REMAINS OF. INDUSTRIES BUT TANGLED IRON.AND HEAPS OF BRICK) By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Vice President Guaranty Trust Com- pany of New York. America may well look to France for example and inspiration in prepar- ing to develop hLer foreign trade after the war. In all history there is no people whose rising to meet a seeming- ly overwhelming assault upon every- thing they consider worth while has had such power over the emotions of mankind. Now, with characteristic adjustabill- ty, the French are transforming emer- gency Into opportunity. In all thelr preparations for reconstruction when peace comes they are applying the principles that have been at the foun- dation of their efficiency in the war. France sees clearly the double na- ture of her problem. She must re- store the country itself and must re- establish fts relationship with other countries. In doing both she looks to the United States for help. She pro- poses to purchase in this country vast supplies of raw material, building sup- plies and machinery, which she cannot get from her colonies or from other nations engaged, like herself, in the work of rehabilitation. She proposes to pay for these things and to meet the debts she now owes by selling to this country not only an increased quantity of those things in the manu- Jfacture of which she excels, but also those things for which this country in the past has looked to Germany. She LABOR ANXIOUS T0 HELP WIN THE WAR Julivg Stremlau Gives Rousing Talk to Local Union Men Representing the the Speakers of United States Department of Meriden the held Labor, Julius C.

BANK OF FRANCE,FINANCIAL CENTRE OF TH refuses to consider resuming purchases | raw materials in Germany. The Republican Committee of Com- merce, Industry and Agriculture, which was founded in 1914 under the auspices of the Ministry of Commerce, has been surveying the possibilities of the French colonies and of friendly countries to ascertain where products formerly imported from Germany are to be obtained. In preparation to meet German com- mercial competition after the war the French are trying now through the medium of great fairs, like those at Lyons, to acquaint all the world with the excellence of their wares, and also to learn from the exhibits of others where French importers may look for their requirements. The French war deht at the close of this year probably will be nearly $24,- 000,000,000, or about four times what it was before the war. For several years France has been a lender to Russia, and the present state of that country has postponed the payment of this debt. France has certain elements of stréagth, however, upon which she is relying to restore her former prosperi- ty. She has a splendid climate, a rich soil and an industrious and thrifty population. With her coal and iron | mines, her crops of wheat, grapes, hemp, flax and Jjute, her skill in the manufacture of leather, hosiery, cotton ' goods, glas: re and silk goods, her | future is exceptionally bright. | France has gone steadily toward her goal of bringing foreign trade under the strictest control, and her govern- of E REPUBLIG against any private interference with | the work of rebuilding and rehabilita~ | tion. Ships cannot now be built in France. The Minister of Maritime Transport ‘nnd Merchant Marine holds that tc | bring materials from the United States or England -would handicap Itench shipbuilders because of the cost o% materials and transportation. Th would mean that I‘rench exporters would have to pay higher freight rates to theowners after the ships were in the water. This would place not only ex- porters but all French Industry under a handicap in the competition for after- war markets. It is proposed, there- fore, that the state shall replace de- stroyed ships, as it can buy materials more cheaply, and therefore will be able to contract for new ships on a basis of insuring reasonable rates to the trader. On the other hand, the Ministry pro- poses to build a state-owned fleet for the colonies, which will be managed by shio owne: the state sharing in the profits and deficits. While France cannot avold making extensive purchases of building mate- rials and machinery abroad, she plans to curtail largely her food imports. Legislation to increase agricultural production is being framed. Deserted territory will be cultivated. France has no such resources of men and materials as have Great Britain and the United States. She under- ands that without the most intense application of energy to such resources as she has, increased production, elim- ination of all waste, and a resolute ef« fort to win foreign markets, she will be unable to regain her standing ment proposes to insure the country fighters.
