For the sympathy shown by the Amer.

The American people have shown their sym.
pathy for France during this war By MANY
deeds of philanthropy which mark an inter.
national generosity and feeling Of soid.r.
ity between two peoples such as has seldom
been seen. It is one more bond between on,
countrieg
after this war the French and America,
people will more than ever have need q,
each other. The economic resources a.
America that have grown so hugely durr,

the reestablishment of her economic he.
France will need capital, raw material. tool,
and machinery, and all that goes to rebuild
industrial life America can supply these
things and thus look TO increase her habituaI
exports TO us. On the other hand, since the
var America has sold so much and bought
so little that she has great need for pur.
chases 20 reGstablish her commercial balance.
America IS becoming so rich that she is
suffering from a plethora Of money and lack
Of means Of investment She is in danger
Of becoming poor from having too much
money. And so, after the war, we look for.
ward TO America being a great market for
French products. Besides this. France will
naturally seek by all legitimate means TO
increase her international commerce, to re.
cover as much as possible of the gold she
has had 20 spend so freely for munitions OF
war. She must, therefore, do all she can 10
increase her exports and reestablish her com.
mercial balance.
an the face Of these facts. what remains
of the theory that the Allies plan 70 close
their markets against American products or
to American buyers and force America 10
turn to Germany? Both our interests and
our sentiments lead France 70 seek closer
relations with the United States and one
Of our great hopes is that after this war our
two nations will be bound together more
closely and more strongly than ever"
