ing the return Of her lost provinces and looking
forward to the receipt of huge indemnity from
Germany. A recovery from four-year war must
naturally take longer than from conflict lasting
less than a year, but France has attacked the

81 The problem of rebuilding over half million
homes and thirty-eight hundred factories was the
first to confront the nation By means Of loan
from the French government 76 per cent of the
thirty-eight hundred factories which had been de-
stroyed were rebuilt and operating by June LIST,
; 1920. Houses capable Of sheltering $4,000 have
been built since the armistice and 5,345 schools
of the 6,445 destroyed have been rebuilt. OF the
265, OO0 900 cubic yards Of trenches, 5000, 900
have been filled in and 200, 100000 square yards
of land cleared Of barbed wire. Thirteen thousand
miles of highways have been completely repaired.
OF the railroad SYSTEM 1910 miles of double track
railroad had been destroyed These have been en-
tirely rebuilt together with 1910 bridges IL tun
nels and 5s6 railway stations: ~>' 10. - 4 4
During the period of time American railroads res
qured to argue with the government for their
release and the granting Of loans to resuscitate
them, French railroads got the money from their
government, rebuilt the roads, bridges, stations,
land got back close to normal This surely is
a lesson to Americans and shows what can be ac=
complished when nation is really willing to work
and cease playing politics: = =
Developments Of similar nature have followed
T in all other lines of industry. The exports Of
France for the six months ended June, 1920, were
more than six billion francs, in excess Of the same
period in 1919; and the imports about two billion
francs more -
All this has been brought about by the willing
Of the French people to work long and hard,
and instead Of aiming at reducing the working
hours of the day they have been aiming at making
more of the products to live with.
