WHY FRANCE CANNOT COLONlSE.

MS Is all very wen, gentlemen,
said Napoleon to his Generals, after
the browning victory Of Austerlitz,
but il is lot enough. We must have
ships, Colonies, and commerce." A
few weeks previously, though he
knew it not-for news travelled slow
~ in those days-the French and
Spanish Fleets had been destroyed in
J rafnIgar Bay; and until the war
ended, ten years later, France pos
SesSed neither Colonies nor com
merce, and the few ships that re-
manned 10 her were unable to keep
The sea. Yet Napoleon hoped on,
and during the remainder of his reign
his dominating wish was the destruc-
ton Of EngIand's maritime suprema-
cy, and the re-conquest of the over
sea possessions which he had lost.
In every treaty he made with his
Continental allies, and erstwhiIe foes,
the first stipulation was always the
b~oycottirg of British merchandise.
Non-acceptance of this condition was
regarded rs a casUs boUj; and the
chief, if not the sole, cause of the
invasion of Russia and the campaign
of Moscow, was the Cars refusal to
exclude English ships from his har-
bours and English goods from his
markets. How utterly this policy
failed and to what terrible disass
ters it led, are known to every
student of modern history. But
Frenchmen have been slow to read
Alright the lessons they teach +; nearly
every Government which has ruled in
France this century has continued
with more or less energy the Colonial
policy of the First Napoleon; and
there can he little question that, in
this regard ut least, he acted in strict
accordance with the wishes of his
country, and the ideas of his time.
So far as France is concerned, it
might almost be said of all time-for
the statesmen Of the Third Republic
seem rs firmly convinced as any of
their predecessors-that ships, Colo
MES, and commerce are essential to a
nstion's greatness, and that if Colo
MES are only planted in sufficient
~profusion, the rest will follow.
But there are signs that this folly
is passing away. NJ. Ferry's policy
has proved a costly fasco ; and in
a series of excellent letters, lately
contributed to the Tolt0ire, and now
published in volume form by...Rein.
wald, NJ. Ives Guyot has laid before
his countrymen facts and considera-

TAR past experience warrants the ex.
%pectation that recent Colonial enter
p,ISes are likely to produce any
adequate return; whether, indeed,
the game Of Colonial extension
is ever, in any circumstances, worth
the candle. So far ut least M
France is concerned, the craving for
extra European possessions is the ut
terrst folly, for il they serve NOT M
outlets for emigration these posses
slons are worse than worthless and
owing to the spnrstness of the home
population, the slow rate of its IN
crease, obligatory military service,
the law of equal Inheritance, aud
other causes, the French do not emf
CRATE, or if they do, they settle nei-
Their in Algeria nor AMMAN, but in
La Plata and the United States. Save
Algeria and New Caledonia, mo- E.
over, France has not q single Colony
with a healthy climate, or where
Frenchmen can increase and multiply,
New Caledonia, dubbed by q lingo
Journalist of very lively imagination
the French Australia has an area of
100000 hectares, md is therefore
about equal in size to three French
Departments, a population of $500

Government employees, and perhaps
80, 900 a~borisines. If there were no
other reason, the fact of New Caled0-
MIA being a penal settlement would be
sufficient TO account for it's failure us
q Colony,
Now let Us turn to Algeria. The
first unfavourabIe feature we have tt
note is that, albeit the climate Of
North Africa suits Spaniards and
Portuguese, Jews and Maltese, well
enough, il does not seem to agree
with Frenchmen. While the home
mortality is at The rate of p per
thousand, the Algerian rate is 80 per
thousand; aud though the birth-rate
is somewhat higher han in France,
the increase is more than balanced by
an infant mortality nearly twice as
great as hat which obtains at home.
It Is significant, too, that whereas the
brith-ratc among French ~colonists is
1873 per thousand, it is 80 among the
Spaniards, and So among the Jews.
Maltese and Italian settlers also show
in this respect greater vitality than
the French. According to the census
of 1881, the total French population
OF the Colony amounted to 233, 900
individuals. But of these, Al 1926
belonged to the army (Which often
reaches a total of $4,000 men, navy,
ge~ndarmerie, and police and cannot,
therefore, be classed as colonists, or
even as permanent residents. If we
would get at the number Of what NJ,
Ives Guyot calls spontaneous emf
grants" we must deduct further all
State f~unctionaries, together with
their families (35, 113) Government
pensioners G,465), and railway en-
ployes Q6,260), who, as the railways
are owned and worked by the State,
are as much public servants as the
others. In addition to these $4,000
who are directly dependent on the
State. there are some 10000 persons

was manifested in the result Of The

nounced as unjust The law III this
case as was decided was in fault, and
efforts to remedy the same will be put
forth. The question of aiding Mulvi-

mand that the prison shall be a refor-
matory on the Elnyra plan, and further

THE sToNE-ARcH BRIDGE.
T. w. Brosnan offered the following
81 latiea: !, 8,
Dor assembly Of Minneapolis approves
the building of the stone-arcl bridge,
and likewise heartily endorse the action
of the city countil in deciding to do the
work under the direct municipal con-
troll and not of contract, as was first de-
signed. and, moreover, that it is the
sentiment Of the working classes in
Minneapolis, themajo rity Of the voters,
that they are against the letting out of
municipal work to contractors under
any circumstances, believing that from
the transaction no real benefit or econo-
my is secured to the people whose in
terest in such matters are supposed to
be sought. We earnestly demand that
the city council will have the stone for
this bridge cut within the city limits.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted, and referred to the special
committee on legislation. 1t was also
intended to indorse the effort of AID.
