for more men. But In colonizlng, as In
all other things. the factor Of competi-

colonists leave Europe every year and
for them the colonies OF the world in
formally compete. Offering this or that
advantage TO the intending settler Bul

These are the sort OF questions that
occur to the balancing colonist but
as regards tho French colonies close
Investigation can prove only one thing
namely, that settlers In them are
handicapped by high tariffs and the
dear prices that follow high tariffs
Hence the French colonies hnd Il OK
tremely difficult to attract colonisir
Italians. Germans aud Englishmen who
are going TO leave Europe end the
French colonies too dear, and even the
few Frenchmen who voluntarily exile
