Our Ore Any
stlvs Powers Which Justify Belief
That ens Will Meet antf Sefvs Tri
umphantly the Problems Which Con
front Hsr After the War.
With Paris boulevards echo! nf with
"vlves" for American troops our Inter
est In the welfare of our ally vastly
Increases, and tbe fscts sre not lack
ing to encourage the belief that she Is
already on tbe road to recovery from
the blow of Invasion by a ruthless enemy.
One of the most Important utvel
opments Is tbe announcement that
one of the largest buuklug Institutions
In America couccrucd with foreign
trade, the Uuaiuuty Trust company
of Niw York, has opvned a Paris
brancb to handle tbe rapidly lncrees
Ing volume ot French business.
This action may surprise many per
sons who bad thought of France as
bowed under a calamitous Invasion.
Tbe bank, however, gives figures Indi
cating that France Is not only meeting
her military and civilian problems with
a stout heart and never fnlllng cour
age, but is re-etsbltshlng her export
business with this country.
In 1914. the year of tbe outbreak of
tbe war, Imports from France to this
country totaled $141.446.2fl2. This to
tal was reduced to 177.188.740 In 1915,
bnt last year the value of French Im
ports to tbe United States rose to
1 102,077,060.
"A nation tbat can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory Is being ravished by the Invader,"
says the Trust company's statement.
"os8csses recuperative powers which
Justify the belief that she will emerge
from the present conflict prepared to
meet and solve triumphantly the prob
lems which confront her."
The commercial and Industrial rec
ord of France, following past wars, In
dicates that she should recover qulekly
from the actual physleal destruction
Inflicted In the prewnt conflict. The
reconstruction of railroads, the erection
of factories to replace those destroyed,
and the replacement of the mechanism
of industrial activity that will be re
quired snd that Is In part already
planned, offer a peculiarly Inviting
field to American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives of Amer
ican engineers and business men In this
work.
Aside from Its attractive business
aspect, tbe enlistment of American
money and effort In tbe great task of
reconstruction that will remsln st the
end of the war will tend to cement still
luore Hosely the ties thst bind the two
great republics together, and will en
able American to discharge In part
the debt they owe to Franco for her
friendly Interest In the welfare snd
progress of the Tnlted States from
the beginning of Its life as a nation.
In Judging the Industrial stntus of
any nation, Its production and con
sumption of coal. Iron, and steel and
the growth of Its transportation sys
tems are highly significant factors.
In 1800. French Industries consumed
21 million tons of coal, of which l!t..r
millions were taken from home mines.
In IBl'J, the consumption was 01 mil
lions, of which 41 million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1809. the French output of cast
Iron was 1,;iNO,0OU tons, and of steel,
1,000.000 tons. In 1914, France pro
duced 5,311.000 tons of cast Iron and
4,0X5,000 tons of steel.
The Increasing activity of her ratfc.
wsy system Is similarly demonstrat
able. In 1869. there were In Franca
10,743 miles of railway track; In 1912,
there were 81.R46 mile.
Between 1869 and 1912, Inland navi
gation Increased 150 per cent; while
the traffic of her mercantile marine
has amazingly expanded. The tonnage
entering French ports In 1869 la set
down ss 11.000,000 tons. In 1912
this bad been Increased to 53,000,000
tons.
Leaders In American finance ascribe
this solidarity of the French republic
to three Influences ; first, s thoroughly
sound banking system, centralised In
one of tbe greatest hanking Institutions
of the world, the Bank of France ; sec
ond, tbe Ingrained thrift and frugality,
of the French people M a whole, to
gether with a national economic vigor
not elsewhere surpassed ; third, wise
supervision, snd patriotic co-operation
by the government wltb banking and
business Interests.
The government does its part to war
rant and retsln the confidence of the
holders of Its securities. One of Its
wise policies Is to impose new taxes to
defray the Interest charges on new se
curity Issues. It began this practice'
after the Franco-rrusslan war, and Is
today following the same rule In regard
to securities IssuimI to finance the pres
ent "i. met. This continuity of pur
pose, doubtless, will provs renssuriuH
to nil holders of French government
securities.
The Franco-Prussian war of 1870
1871 taught the French people the
meaning of thrift snd economy. So
well did they learn this lesson, that
the whole sum of the Indemnity de
manded by Germany, 11.000.000.000,
was raised within the republic's con
fines by Its own inhabitants and paid
off more than one year before the time
stipulated by the Germans.
The habit thus acquired has, never
been forgotten by the French, and to
day the aggregate number of Investors
purchasing the French war loans has
reached the amaeing total of 4.800,000
Individual subscribers. Perhaps no oth
er country. In proportion to Its popula
tion, can make so good a showing.
France Is particularly fortunate In
that her small Investors prefer "safe"
Investments rather tban offerings
which promise high returns. Govern
ment rentes, In France are perpetu
al, and this characteristic seems to ob
tain for these government bonds in
creasing favor In the eyes of the
French people.,
The points 6f sympathy between
France and America are too many to
enumerate, but the spirit of liberty and
Its resultant democracy are, today as
always, the major Ideals of both na
tions. Seeking no victories but those
of peace, no territory except their own,
no sovereignty except sovereignty over
themselves the Independence and
equal rights of the weakest member of
the family of nations are to tbe people
of the r nitcd States and of France en
titled to as much respect as those ot
the mightiest empire. In defense of
these principles, France Is engaged In
a death struggle with militant autoc
racy and ruthless aggression, and It Is
not surprising to lesrn tbat she has
loaned to her allies snd to other friendly
states 7.000.000,000 francs with which
to further the cause of democracy. It
Is in keeping with America's traditions
tbat since the date on which we for
mally aligned ourselves with France
and her allies In the great straggle,
our government nns lent to France
.riTo.ooo.ooo.
It is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 140 years France helped her to
achieve. The swords of Lafayette and
Kochamheau. aided by the guns of De
tlrasse upon the high seas, assisted In
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
Independence, and from the private
purse of King Louis himself came the
Brat loan to America unsecured and
unconditional to finance that historic
undertaking. It was with entire Jus
tice that Wnshlngton wrote to Rochnm
beau. "To the generous aid of your na
tion and to the bravery of Its sons Is
to be ascribed In n very great degree
tbat Independence for which we have
fought."
