FOR PEACE
IN FRANCE
Deputy Confident of Victory, Pre-.
pares to Introduce Measures
to Meet Critical Conditions
Following the War
(By a United Press STAFF Correspond

ent)
Paris, March 24.-(By mail to New
York I'm times of war prepare for
peace"
This is to be the slogan hereafter of
a block in the French chamber of dep
uties headed by Deputy Frederick Bru-
net Of the department of the Seine
Just as France possibly made a mis-
take in times of peace in not preparing
more fully for war, so Deputy Brunei
declares she will make even a greater
mistake now that she has war if she
fails to take advantage Of it for a thor
ough preparation for peace.
With the certainty of victorious
peace only a question of time, Brunei
declares France will not only lose
great portion of the advantage that
will come with it, but will find herself
utterly unable to cope with the gigan-
tic problems which will then be pre-
sented unsss she begins Immediately
her preparations. Already Brunei has
prepared a series of proposed laws to
this end and these are to be introduced
at once into the French parliament.
While the bulk Of these proposed
measures have to do largely with the
mere material advantages and prepara-
tions of peace Brunei has also made
provisions in them for what may prove
the beginning of the realization Ia
France of the dreams Of syndicalists
the world over-the establishment OF
workingmen ON basis where they will
share in the profits Of their own la.
bors.
One OF the first problems which Bru-
net declares France will face when
the moment peace comes will be the
rebuilding of the hundreds Of cities.
towns, villages, hamlets and huts that
have been destroyed not only in the
invaded districts Of France but of
Belgium as we'll If that problem is al
lowed to GO until peace has come, Bru-
net declares France will not find her
self in position to solve it. With the
heavy losses of human lives entailed
by tho war she win find herself without
the labor necessary for the actual work
and she will find herself without the
material
Brunet's first law project therefore
provides for the immediate reopening
Of all factories and industries engaged
in the prodgction Of material for the
building trades. Not brick yard, he
declares, in all France can afford to be
allowed to remain closed at the pres
ent moment. Every lumber mill, he
insists, should be working over time.
while the woodworking mills, where
Goors and window frames and case
ments are made have before them a
task of supplying the material for the
rebuilding of the French towns and vii
lagos that will tax them far beyond
their utmost capacity unless they be-
gin at once.
What applies to these building ma
terial industries, Brunei insists. ap-
plies with more or less urgent force
TO practically every other producing
industry of France If. when peace
comes, France must wait year or
two before the material destroyed b.
the war can be replaced in order to
permit a reassumpticn of her normal
industrial and commercial life ths
Seine deputy insists she is going to
lose goodly portion of the adytangea
that would come from her dearly
bought victories
In preparing ihs proposed laws for
government help in the reopening of
these industries. Brunet has another
object in view. With the outbreak Of
the war France at once put into force
the most extensive measures of provid
ing charity to the unemployed Vast
sums are everywhere being spent to
this end, and especially at Paris and
other larger cities, although goodly
portion of this is now coming from
private and other sources. still at least
one third is coming out of the annual
budget.
