Dream Of Prosperity.

Dream Of Prosperity.
In the midst of this despoliation
France has a dream of future indus
trial prosperity to be realized only
by protecting all national industry
against foreign competition. Never
before has she thought seriously Of
taking the Germans place in rope,
and now she believes that with only
comparatively small amount of fa-
voritism she can compete for many OF
the German markets.
From the despairing days of July.
1918, when it seemed certain the Ger
mans would take Paris and that
French public opinion would not stand
behind a continuation of the war, to
the exaltation France feels today in
the JOY of victory is far cry, to say
the least.
The tables are completely turned.
Politically and economically the
French have made tremendous gains
and they can only be expected to make
the most of their bettered position In
the world.
If they happened to work at cross
purposes to England and America, we
,an expect some compromise measures
and some heated headlines perhaps In
case the censor gets off the job some
time in 1919, but scarcely anything
more serious.
