The subscription books were open from

Of these 4 per cent. seventy-year bonds.
The denomination Of the bonds was ap-

ties Of this sort practically went begging
In public sales.
These are not the only high grade
municipal bonds which have been offered
In the United States this year at SO low
a rate OF interest that they have not
been absorbed by investors.
There Is only one real reason for this
very striking contrast between the way
the people Of France subscribe for in
vestment issues and the way the people
OF the United States fail to subscribe for
them. That reason is that while for gene
rations the people. of France have been
educated In sound. safe and profitable
investment. the people Of the United
States still hesitate about investment In
securities and regard the bond as a thing
quite beyond the small saver Of money
and fitted only to be bought by wealthier
men who can afford to put away large
sums OF money.
1t is not that the French. as a peo-
pie. are wealthier than the people Of
the United States. II Is rather that
they make relatively small sum of
wealth and of income go very much
further than We make II go in this
country. Consequently the surplus avail
able to put away and to create new
assets year by year Is very much larger
In proportion to the total turnover. to-

in the country than IT Is in this country.
Therefore. the French are a nation of
savers and a nation Of investors. and.
therefore, also, the underlying financial
power of the nation grows greater year
by year There is no waste. no extrava-
gance and no throwing away either of
income or capital assets. The middle
class In France carries on it's financial
affairs one might say. carefully and con-

The result of this underlying thrift is
