PLEA FROM FRANCE
FOR FINANCIAL AID
Facts and Figures Given to
Convince America
Claim Is lust.

Daily News. Copyright. 1919
PARIS. November s.-Following the
powerful appeal Of Eugene Schneider,
the French gunmaker. at the Atlantic
City conference. on behalf Of France,
there has been issued from official
sources here an array Of facts and
figures designed to convince America
Ing financial aid to their former
brothers in arms.
The pictures Of the financial situa-
tion past and present Indicate the
ability OF France to recover its full
vigor. 1 select the most striking fea-
lures. with comments rejecting the
views of high French officials.
Showing Made for 1918 to 1918.
At the outset the report reminds
the world that between 1913 and 1918
the taxes paid by the people increased
from more than 5,o00,00O,00O francs
100000 francs C$2.20o. 900. .0O0); that
the public debt increased to approxi-
mately 200. 600, 0o0, 900 francs (s40,00O.-
o00.000). and that naval construction
has been so diminished that France
cannot be assured Of communication
losses have been 1,129.00 tons, and 1t
has been possible to assign only 1000
workers to new construction.
The documents go exhaustively into
the materials furnished to other ma
tions during the war. No less than
eighteen nations were given arma-
ment and supplies. Even Switzerland,
Finland. Portugal, Czechoslovakia,
Sweden and Japan were thus aided.
The enormous total of 4.os7.ssa.ooo
francs ($S07, 1898. .600) worth Of artil-
lery and munitions was turned over
to these eighteen countries. More
than 100000 rifles. a billion and .
half of cartridges. more than q mil
lion gas shells and other materials in
corresponding amounts were fur
nished.
Evening star., 1919-11-09
Americas Share Tabulatsd.

Americas share is thus tabulated:
Artillery munitions. 1000. 100000
francs (s2S0, OsO, ,O00) worth; machine
guns or rapid-fire rifles. $1,000: rifles.
%. 500; cartridges, 206.450. 900; horses.
$4,000; vehicles, 1872; gas masks and
other protective appliances, $4,000;
gas shells, 94S,000; tons OF gas, $50;
revolvers, 2.S00. France also gave to
America supplies corresponding to
1881 900 shipping tons
With these figures goes the not un-
timely comment:
In brief, France made 1t possible
for America to enter successfully into
the campaign of 1918. One may con-
clude that without the aid Of France
the American Army would not have
played in this decisive campaign the
part the American government and
people expected of it. France fur
nished the greater part of the Ameri-
can war material. all of its artillery
disposal for training purpose. ana fur
nished 100000 hospital beds"

Nation Needs Immediate Aid.

France has immediate noed Of the
assistance OF her allies because OF
decrease in the value Of the franc In
New York from $40 to the dollar In
1918 to STA on September IS last.
France needs continued assistance TO
regulate operations. enabling her to
reduce the budget to normal proper
tions, the 1920 budget being figured
At 20,50O 100000 francs H.1oo.o0o.-
900.
IF the allies will consider Frances
effort, together with her enormous
burden, their sentiments of solidarity
will more rapidly be embodied In an
effort which Will serve the interests
Of their export trade. now exposed to
inavitable diminut!on."

Details Of Frances self-Help.

Assuming. then, that America has
not lost her gratitude. the documents
proceed to show Frances self-help,
tquoting the figures relating to the ruin
ago and adding explanations. For
example. Of the materials stolen by
| Germany and recovered. amounting
to 10000 tons. the greater part Is
far from having the value it had
when new. Four hundred thousand

ments have been replaced numerical
