FRANCE IN DREAD
Of BREAD F ANIME
People Hungry and Desperate
as Spectators Coin NeceSsi-
ties of Life Into Gold.

PARIS. July lt.-'Let us smash the
infamy! Let us smash the infamy."
This is the shibboleth which has been
.resounding through the legislative and
municipal halls of Paris during the past
few days. The infamy referred to is
the coming of the necessities of the
people into gold by speculation espe-
cially in wheat, -four and sugar.
1t is calculated that there will be a
bread famine in Paris by July 10 and
the municipal council of Paris recon-
mends the communes of France to buy
up the surplus of wheat -four and
sugar, SO that their people may not be
charged famine prices by Spectators
This follows closely the doctrine
preached recently by the Socialist lead
er, M. Jaures whose advocacy Of sim
liar purchase by the nation for the
benefit of the people was recently pre-
sented in America
From the whole discussion In the
chamber, senate and city council it is
quite clear that speculation is the en-
envy of the people. Georgeu Berry. dep
uty for Paris man whose name stands
for civic virtue. says:
Lower Tariff the Remedy.
AT Toulon Bordeaux and Limoges
the municipal councils ask how long
they will be able to give bread to the
population. Thus we may have a short
age of bread all over France any day.
We must not shut our eyes so as not to
see, nor close our ears SO as not to
hear. The situation is all the more
serious because in France bread is the
basis of all sustenance, and for a ma
jority of the population is half their
food
Those who do not lower the barrier
of tariff and let in wheat to feed our
people forget the lesson of history
While our people are crying for bread
they do not offer them stones, but
they are practically saying with Marie
Antoinette. Why not give them cake?
Why should people be allowed to go
hungry as long as bountiful Mother
Earth produces cheap wheat in Aus
tralia and elsewhere? Free the latter
from tariff and you will liberate home
grown wheat from unruly speculation
and save our workingmen from starva-
ton. Unless a remedy be found, I
foresee the direst consequences for the
tranquility of my country. The old
Romans at least gave bread and cir
cuses to the people. We, the heirs to
the Roman civilization should have
been able to improve on that during all
the long centuries which have since
elapsed Instead of which, spectators
the lineal descendants of the money
changers whom Christ elected from the
temple-have got us by the throat.
Paris is threatened with such a
siege and the commune
