ECONOMIC HEALTH
OF FRANCE SOUND
American Industrial Commission
Makes Report to That Effect

Paris, Oct. IL (12:15 p. m.).-Six
weeks Of inquiry by the American IN
dustrial Commission to France into
economic conditions in this country
has disclosed an active disposition
everywhere toward the increase Of
French trade with the United States.
"The greatest obstacle that Ameri-
cans will encounter" said William
Wallace Nichols, chairman of the COM
mission, in summarizing his personal
impressions to-day, sis in themselves,
in their own lack Of knowledge about
France and their hesitation in availing
themselves Of opportunities here. The
investigation has been most instructive
for US. Several things are clear:
First, the economic health and
soundness Of France. We need have
no apprehensions in dealing with the
country.
Second, a great and permanent ex-
pansion of commerce between France
and the United States must rest upon
reciprocity-a certain equilibrium be-
tween exports and imports.
Third, we will need a revision Of
our commercial agreements with
France so that there shall be real
favored-nation treatment on both
sides.
"Lastly-and I should perhaps have
put this frst-each people needs to
cultivate the appreciation, respect,

LOAN ADDS GOLD
TO FRENCH STORE
Figures Show Little Loss
of Industrial Activity
in France
By YVES GUYOT.

Paris, Oct. i2.-The latest news of
the loan is excellent, and the results
give satisfaction to all concerned. AS
stated in the official communique, the
loan has brought gold into the Bank
Of France and the banks return
shows an increase of 100000
francs in gold, bringing its holdings
to 4,S56, 100000 francs.
The Bourse has been frmer this
week, with copper stocks in best de-
mand.
The government bureau of war
risk insurance has raised the price of
transatlantic insurance from 6-10
per cent to 1875.
The Ministry of Labor has just fin
ished an inquiry into industrial ac-
tivity in France. Statistics pub
lished cover 49,728 establishments,
employing before the war 1,765, 400
hands. Figures for April, 1915,
showed a diminution of less than 20
per cent. The places Of modified
workmen had been taken by refugees
from the invaded regions, workmen
imported from the colonies and
women.
The inquiry does not cover mines,
quarries, railroads, tramways or gov
eminent establishments for the Min
istries of War and Marine, and does
not show what part Of the work done
in the factories covered is for the
government, so this limits the value
of the figures.

as questions Of credit, adaptation of
