ARRIVE TO ARRANGE LARGE
POST BELLUM STEEL PURCHASE
French Industrial and Commercial
Commission to Place Sl69,0O0,O geo
Structural Material Order.

New York, Nov. 9.-Five member
of the French industrial and CONNER
cial commission landed here toda.
from the steamship Lafayette and sait
they came to arrange for the purchase
after the war, of at least $160,000 00t
worth of structural iron and steel
machinery and industrial supplies. Al
supplies of this character, the commits
sioners said, were formerly imported
from Germany.
The commissioners said that while
they are here primarily to purchas:
supplies necessary to reconstruct anG
modernize French industries after the
war, they will endeavor to establish
reciprocal trade relations between the
United States and France.
The commission is headed by Mau-
rice Damour, formerly French consul
general at New Orleans, now secre-
tary of appropriations OF the French
chamber of deputies. The other mem
bers of j. Lesuer. agricultural engin-
ee and delegate Of the chamber Of
deputies; L. Tricano, director of the
national Matchmaking school at Besan-
co and a delegate of the chamber OF
deputies: Ede Lesalle-ThirieZ. Secre-
tary Of the spinners syndicate, and T.
Chopffour "a banker. Three other mem
bers, representing the metallurgical
industry and the Lyons chamber, Of
commerce, will arrive Shortly.
This commission is backed, the
commissioner said, by all the large
industrial and commercial organiza-
tons of France, and majority of the
bankers.
Before the war France imported
large portion of all structural iron and
steel, industry machinery and all
manner of supplies from Germany"
said Mr.. Damour. But it is SOW con-
ceded in France that the great friend
ship shown by the United States will
bring about close trade relations be-
tween the two republics at the con-
clusion Of the war.
''The purchases We will arrange for
will be necessarily to rehabilitate
Frances various industries after the
war but we will also take opportunity
to modernize many of the plants. Be-
fore the war we were spending at
least $160O0O00 year for German
machinery and industrial supplies. +
feel sure this sum will now be spent
in the United States and that our pur-
chases will lead to far greater ones in
the future.
"Our orders will cover virtually all
kinds of machinery from agricultural
implements to finer grades of textile
machines. Ample provision has been
made for the financing of these Dr.
ders.'
