Leaders in American finance ascribe this solidarity of the French republic to three Influences; first, a thoroughly sound banking system, centralized in one of the greatest banking Institutions of the world, the Bank of France ; sec-- ond, the Ingrained thrift and frugality of the French people as a whole, together with a national economic vigor not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise supervision, and patriotic by the government with banking and business Interests.

It is In keeping with Americas traditions that since the date on which we formally aligned ourselves with France and her allies In the great struggle, our government has lent to France 370.000,000. 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 J40 years France helped her to achieve.

Aside from Its attractive business aspect, the enlistment of American money and effort In the great task of reconstruction that will remain at the end of the war will tend to cement still more closely the ties that bind the two great republics together, and will enable Americans to discharge in part the debt they owe to France for her friendly interest In the welfare and progress of the United States from the beginning of ltsy life as a nation. In Judging the industrial status of any nation, its production and consumption of coal, Iron, and steel and the growth of Its transportation systems are highly significant factors. In 1869, French industries consumed 21 million tons of coal, of which 13.5 millions were taken from home mines. In 1912 the consumption waa 01 mlK. lions, of which 41 million tons were ' taken from home mines. In 1SC9, the French output of cast Iron was 1,380,000 tons, and of steel, 1,000,000 tons.
