cpeCtuC Correspondence
LONDON, April 1.-THE transfer OF
Lorraine to its former allegiance opens
up industrial possibilities for France
compared with which the political sig
nltcance of the restitution seems quite
a secondary matter Possessed of the
Lorraine iron ore fields and the nuer-
GUS up-todate works contained in the
province, there is no valid reason why
France, in the course of few years,
should not attain the premier position
among the countries of Europe in
trade and industry, providing, of
course, that she can command the
necessary capital. credit and labor No
European rival. at any rate, will be SO
rich in the raw materials of the iron
and steel trade.
Before the war Germany was pro
ducing 100000 tons of pig-iron an
nually, Great Britain 100000 tons
than half the German output was OBJ
tanned from Lorraine ores the cession
of those increases the French pig-iroA
capacity to 100000 tons, and leaves
Germany somewhat below that of the
United Kingdom. In the future, there
fore, as the chief European competitor
of the British iron and steel trade,
France is likely to change placed with
Germany, Some years must. of course.
eapse before France can heal the ter
rlblc wounds which the war has in
fitted upon hor economic. position.
even when full allowance Is made for
the wonderful genius of her people
for adapting themselves quickly to
the most drastic changes of conditions,
but II should be born in mind that
Lorraine has been outside the war zone
and that its works and factories are
virtually intact, Perhaps the most
awkward problems with which France
is faced in an Industrial sense relate
to coal and labor.
Even when her damaged mines are
restored to their normal activity the
country will be unable to furnish
to keep Lorraine iron works going
fully, and it will probably be found
necessary to import supplies from
Germany, while, owing to the heavy
reduction of the male population
through the war, there must be a pro-
nounced shortage of labor for years
unless workmen are imported from
Eastern Europe.
