HOW FRANCE PAID
A BILLION INDEMNITY

The success CT the French govern
ment in raising means to pay off the
vast indemnity demanded by Ger
many after the war of 1870 was well
expressed by E. B. Washburne, who
was United States minister to France
during and after that conflict.
The enormous sum demanded was
about $1,000, 0,000,0 600 in cur money.
Referring to the fact that France
was able to fulfill it's obligations.
Washburne has written: "It was
the wonder of the financial world"
No greater display of national sac
rifice on the part of people is known
of in the history of nations.
France devastated-its people
poorer than they had ever been from
the times of barbarism or CT much
talkedof feudalism-rose magnifi-
Gently to the occasion.
To begin with, France gave over to
the German government it's own paper
for 650.000,000 francs-approximat
$3.50, 100000 in American money, guar
anteed by the principal banking
firms OF the continent
This was a mere starter. The fl
nancial hell ahead was roaring.
On May /, 1872, this banking obliga-
tion was met, three installments hav
ing been paid as agreed upon.
The remainder of the mighty in
demnity must be settled for The COM
mon people must be called upon.
In Paris was opened the loan Of
$50, 100000 francs! At the LuXem-
hourg. known then as the Hotel de
Viile-we would call it the scity hail.
and at all other city department
buildings.
Nothing surprising the anxiety to
invest in that loan has ever been
known of in anything pertaining to
| finance.
Long before the Luxembourg was
| opened. before the shades of night
| had rolled away people who were
supposed to have a little or nothing
| assembled to register their subscrip-
ions
1t was marvellous scene.
Women brought their workbaskets
with them. Families arrived with
provisions of food necessary for the
day. One might have thought it ma
tional holiday.
The world considered it a nation
| al calamity for France. These French
folks just laughed and ehattered and
waited to invest. "Why," cne OBJ
server has remarked. "You might
have thought it picnic"
When the subscriptions had closed
amidst bedlam clamoring for fur
ther chances to subscribe, the enor-
nous demand fer the loan had reach
ed the figure of five milliards!
That is cne billion dollars,
