Tho casual observer sec,a no want In
France. Thero Is no shortago In tho
hotels, tho restaurants or tho shops.
Hut tho masses have little. Franco
mude a pretense of fixing prices, hut
did nothing to make prlco fixing effec
tive. In England a starvation sclicd
ulo existed In the best hotels and res
taurants during the war. No one was
allowed to have much more than his
share, regardless of tho slue of his
pockctbook. France e cn abandoned
her meatless days because thore was
plenty of meat. Thore was plenty be
cause no onu could afford to buy It.

Now thero seems no hope and no stim

In Paris last winter and ogtts the same
prlco per dozen. Meat ranged around
a dollar a pound, while vegetables
were on n similar, level. And there
has been no Increas In Income in most
cases In any way proportionate to the
Increatfo In expenses. The lintel, res
taurant and shopkeepers, who now
seem to be reaping a golden harvest,
lost heavily for four years, and It will
b a long time before they are oven.
Much of France's Invested wealth was
In Husla; jost of her Industries lay
In tho now devastated region? of the
North. To tho great mujorlty there
seems nn chance of beating back.
