SOON BE RESTORED t - I PARIS, Feb. 2S (Mail) The dam-v dam-v Industries and the upheaved and j ; eihatisted farm lands of Franco, It Is ; thought now, may bo restored to their MI productive capacity within five after tne conchislon of peace, j iUi the exception of denuded forests wd the most gravely wasted land in toe Immediate proximity of the line j 'here the front has been practically stationary for more than three year3. These are some of the elements upon which they count to make up for what France will have lost: Continued and developed use of female labor In industries; entrance of youths Into ac-tivo ac-tivo business and industry at an earlier ear-lier age; greater activity and consequent conse-quent greater productive capacity of all categories of workers; and an enormous en-ormous extension of the use of modern labor-saving equipment in the factory and on the farm. The development of water power will contribute immensely to fill the void In industrial facilities while five year's recruits of boys coming to age for actlvev participation in the country's coun-try's affairs is expected to replace at least a third of the wastage in human material. |
