PARIS, Dec. 16.-Nothing has avail ed to check the increase of the cost of living in France Bread only has escaped the tendency. Eve. y1h-n. else considered. il costs at least .5 per cent more to live in France today than it did three years ago. War. Of course. is the first eXpianat,on. but economic experts declare that diff entities of transportation and high freight form the the chief factors and that these difficulties are due largely to the failure of the government to have ever carried out the proje Is for interior navigation which were urged hy de FreNcinet, Baulin and Audif- fred. years ago. In the opinion ol these same economic authorities the failure of France to realize thcsc canal projects has been responsible for her anomalous position iV the world carrying trade.
