Great Development
French Colonies

! New York, Sept. 14-Cnusual prog
ress in the development of commerce
and natural resources in the French
colonial possessions and dependencies
has brought them wealth ranking
! next to that of the British colonial
empire, according to a survey made
public here by the French Commits
! sion. The French colonies. with an
estimated population of so, 500 900 have
an area of 100000 square miles.
| Total exports from the colonies in
| 1917, with the exception of Algeria
and Tunis were valued at approx
! mately 1.10S,000.0000 francs. Since
| 1914 exports in the various posses
sions increased from % to 100 per
cent. The increases are attributed to
the thrift of natives following the
wars ending.
Total Algerian exports in 1919 were
more than 1884, 100000 francs an in
crease of about 55S millions over
1918. The port of Algiers alone ham
died exports approximating 475,15S.-
600 francs. an increase OF 200,S22, 900
francs. according to estimates. Chief
imports were cotton. clothing and
linen, skins. coal sugar and coffee.
Chief exports were wines, fruit, to-
Dacco. wheat, oats. barley and wool
Amounts of imports. and exports were
greatest in the order mentioned.
National roads in Algeria have a
length of 1910 miles. while s,2o3
miles of railway were open for traffic
in January 1919.
Tunis. essentially an agricultural
country had bumper grain crops in
1919, as follows: Wheat, $500. 53s'
bushels; barley. 5,4aS.ss bushels:
oats. 3,444.'22 bushels. The cork in
dustry is important, cork trees COW
erlng more than 500. 900 acres. The
annual mineral production averages
IN value more than 10000, 600 francs.
The spring estimate OF 1920 har-
vest on the French zone OF Morocco
valued the crops at 1000 600 600
francs, and 1t was expected tbere
would be a large surplus for export
the survey states. Exports to France
IN 1913 were valued at S2,oso $50
francs, the imports at 1s5,es.ec5
francs.

sists of five separate colonies with

Who Are the Sugar Profiteers?


Il know that the generally accepted
way of meeting the charge Of profit
eering is to pass promptly the blame
to the man sitting next to you, and
this is perhaps inevitable in a system
of production and distribution as
| complicated as that of the present
! day, but. in my opinion, the Ameri-
can refiners must be gifted with SUI
preme nerve to attempt to shift the
blame for the high cost of sugar to
the Cuban producers. said Frank NJ.
White, of Havana.
The refiners have withdrawn mill
lions of pounds Of sugar from the
market on the plea that they cannot
afford to sell it at the fixed price Of
u cents a pound when they are
paying II cents for Cuba's raw sugar.
This argument does not stand for
minute in light of the fact that the
shrinkage in refining is almost negli-
gible, being only a fraction of l per
cent, while the cost of refining, which
before the war was only one-seventh
of a cent pound. is not likely now
to be much more than one-third and
probably no more than one fifth of
2. cent.
They also complain that much of
the sugar they now have on hand cost
them from 90 to 25 cents pund.
However, it is a matter of common
knowledge that the bulk of the Gu
ban crop was purchased by them at
an average of 10 cents a pound or
less. Aside from this fact they can
claim no right to protection against
the consequences of their having
bought some sugar at speculative
prices 1t is not the Cuban producer
but the American refiner and specu-
lator who has prof1ted most at the
expense Of the American people"

"Enough!"

AS Maine goes SO doesn't always go
the Union but one doesn't require
better assurance short of absolute
certainty that as Maine went on
Monday SO will go the country next
November. Other than the vote Of
women there was in the Maine cleo
ton no peculiar feature there were
no local issues, to distort the view of
national questions; nothing to inter-
fere with an expression of public
opinion respecting the national ad-
ministration.
That opinion overwhelmingly ex-
pressed ENOUGH"
Republicans should not be over
confident because Of this: they should
be advised that Names opinion was
an educated opinion; that unweary-
ing effort for many weeks was re-
sponsible for that education; and
they should 60 and do likewise If
they expect like results.
Mrs. Gannett whose untiring work
contributed so materially to the
steadfast attitude shown by the wo-
men, could well assist her sisters in
other states from out the fund Of
ner experience. The women of Maine
have learned to appraise values,
were on their guard against appeals
to emotionalism. All, Democrats as
well as Republicans, should be graf
flied by the manner and method with
which the Maine women went about
their new duties.
1t is well, too that the result has
been so decisive The new admins
tration which is to undertake the
tremendous work of reconstruction
will have need Of strong support.
There will be many thankless jobs to
do. slow processes where the quick
are desired, difficulties without end.
and those undertaking them should
have all that makes for strength to
perform the task; and that, outside
themselves. can come from no better
source than a pronounced and edu-
Gated public opinion.

A story of Jimmie Cox's latest con-coxion.
Echoes from the Front Porch

Anyhow Harding's speeches from
the front porch are worth going to
hear. He has something to say: he
doesn't dodge. Addressing a delega-
ton of the railway trainmen the 9TH
er day he had no apologies to make
for his support of the Cummins- Esch
law and he gave reasons for the faith
that is in him. He declared the law
to be the most considerate piece Of
lection Of any group of workmen in
the United States"
Yesterday he addressed the Cali
fornians and he did not hesitate to
discuss the Japanese relations with
frankness and understanding and ap-
peal to a broad view of the condi-
tons, insisting that in this country
today there is no real sectionalism.
An especially vigorous part of his
address was devoted to an important
issue at stake between the parties,
whether government is to be the ex-
preston of community of inter-
ests" or "a one-man source of pre-
tended benevolence." Those who
have been criticizing what they are
pleased to term the Senate oligar-
chy" received attention and were fifty
characterized as those who prefer
autocratic personal government" to
the representative, constitutional
form, which we have inherited and
under which We are privileged to
commission men to represent us.
The control of the Democratic
party, he said, had fallen into
hands reaching out in their perfect
accord" to perpetuate the condition
Of extreme Capitalization of power
Naturally he wonders what Thomas
Jefferson would say to this, and he
believes even the Democrats are con-
templating the precipice toward
which the years of autocratic bung-
ling have led us. I'VE have had
enough" he says, and there will be a
loud amen to that conclusion.

What Happened to Jones When Doing
the Polite

One evening. coming home from the
theatre on a car with lady. Jones
stepped from the car and noticed a
motor car coming up behind the car.
So Jones kept his eye on the auto
and took the elbow of the next person
alighting after him. expecting it to be
his friend.
Still watching the motor, he led the
elbow safely to the walk and then
turned to her.
To his embarra ssment, who should he
find himself escorting but great, tall
man, who said, in the sweetest voice:
Thank you. l was never escorted
by young man across the street be-
fore; you are the kindest fellow I ever
met
The lady was following them, and
she giggled over the joke all the rest of
the way home-tichmond Times

Cong. White Gives
Thanks to Friends

Lewiston, Sept. 14.-"I'm grateful to
everyone" said Congressman Wallace
Fl. White. Jr.. at midnight Monday,
when the latest report brought to him
from the Associated Press wire placed
I'm in the lead over DR.. Price, Dem
ocratic candidate for congress from
the second district.
A few minutes before, at his office
across from the Lewiston Journal
building, reporter had seen him. Re-
turns from the State were coming
into him; telephone calls of congrat-
ulation and calls for the same pur-
pose were being made. He was an
extremely busy congressman, and -
usual a very human one just at tina .
time-smiling and happy, although
tired, fort he's been campaigning in
whirlwind fashion since the primary.
Il give especial thanks to Mr. KAY
anagh, chairman of the Republican
county committee, who has done such
good work" he said, and to all the
local organizations. Also to all those
to him and her-who by their work
and their votes contributed to the
result.
Il am only human, and so l can't
help feeling mighty glad, but l real
ize to what extent the result was in
fiuenced by those faithful people who
believe in the Republican party, and
who gave so much of their energy
and time to let the nation under
stand that we in Maine repudiate the,
Democratic administration at Wash
ington.'
1t surely was a pleasing moment
to Mr.. White. 1t was also a pleas
ure to those Republicans who have
been close to him since the drive,
years ago, when to run on a Repub
l1can ticket in Lewiston was to buck
a stone wall.
The election is to Mr. Whites third
term in Congress, and his vote in
Lewiston. when he cut the Demo-
cratic margin to less than 200. was
nothing short of remarkable under
the conditions. 1t was regarded in
political circles as an Indication of
Mr.. Whites increasing popular
strength.
