France as a world Banker.

France is now playing the role OF
the worlds banker; England lost
her claim to the title when sne went
to war in South Africa. A genera
ton ago one had to go TO London to
feel the pulse of the international
money market. Today one makes a
better diagnosis in Paris.
The strides toward financial su
premacy which France is making
have been most rapid IN the past five
years. In that time French invest
ors have taken up many milliard
francs OF foreign obligations. They
furnished Great Britain with much
of the capital that went TO finance
the Boer war; they loaned enormous
amounts to Russia, practically sup
plying the money needed in the
struggle against Japan; they pro-
vlded Germany with 1,000.000,0eO
