PARIS, Nov. 20.-Within two years
after the signing of the armistice,
France has worked two veritable
miracles-one of re-adjustment and
one of reconstruction.
AS result of this miracle of re-
adjustment, although France was the
one allied country that suffered most
from the war, and the one country
in which the increase in the cost of
only one of the big allied powers,
who today is entirely free from any
strikes or social unrest of an econ
omic nature.
Furthermore, she is the only one
of the big allied powers who in the
same period of time has been able to
free herself fully and definitely from
the menace of Bolshevism. The death
krell of the latter was sounded a
month ago when in national conven-
ton at Orleans the French Federation
of Labor almost unanimously con-
demned the leaders who up until
eight months ago ordered and sup
ported political strikes amongst the
French workingmen.
Instead of waiting, as much of the
rest of the world has done, for econ
omic life to re-establish itself on the
pre-war basis, France saw at once
that this would never happen and
Immediately readjusted herself to the
new economic life imposed by the
war.
The official statistics of the allied
countries place the increase in the
cost of living in France as a result
of the war at 800 per cent.
Yet, despite this astounding handi-
cap, official figures of the French
Ministry of Public Instruction, show
that salaries generally throughout
France have now been increased
from 200 to 800 per cent.
1t is this quick readjustment of the
whole economic basis of French life
to the new standard of living created
by the war, that has left France en-
tirely free from industrial strikes for
the past nine months and has wiped
out completely the menace of Bolshe-
vism.
All France is hard at work today
on a fairly contented basis to repair
the havoc and damages wrought by
the war.
Like all other allied nations in
Europe, one of the greatest damages
to France from the war was the in
crease in her importations and the
decrease in her expectations result
ing in the frightful decrease in the
value of French money in foreign
countries.
Yet the most astounding progress Is
being made to remedy this by increase
in French production and consequent
ly increased expectation and decreas-
ed importation.
During the first seven months of
1919S France exported only 4,776, 6,402,-

600 francs worth of merchandise and
produce. For the first seven months
of 1920 these expectations were IN
creased to 12,006,630 900 francs a
gain of over 7,000,000,OOO francs.
Frances total importations for 1919
were 29,77S,0OO, francs against
only S,713,00O,OO0 francs Of exporta-
tions.
For all of 1920 it is estimated that
her importations will only be 37,304,-
100000 francs and her expectations
2o,5S2 100000, showing steady prog
ress toward the establishment of
equal importations and expectations
necessary to overcome the present
rulnouS rate of French exchange.
AS regards commercial relations
with the United States Frances i'm
portations for July from America,
which totaled $5S,961 ,554, were re-
duced for the month of August to
S2S,321 $50, showing how fast French
industries are getting back on basis
where they can supply the needs of
France without recourse to foreign
countries.
France has kept equal pace in the
reconstruction of her devastated re-
gions.
Of the 2,712,OO0 French citizens
who We're driven from their homes by
the German invasion, 1,533,000 are
now back on the job.
Of the 5570 kilometers of railway
destroyed during the war 4070 kilo-
meters are back in operation.
Of the 5,760,000 acres of land ren-
dered uncultivatable by the presence
of unexploded shells and missiles, s.
100000 acres have been cleaned and
put back into cultivation.
Of the 100000 acres of ground
that were pounded into nothing by
she'll fire and other war activities, q
$4,000 have been restored to pro-
ductivity.
Of the 1850 factories that were
destroyed by the war 354O are already
back in operation and another 3S42
are under reconstruction.
Of the $4,000 people who were en-
ployed in these destroyed factories
before the war, 257 ,831 are back at
work in them.

Ragan writes
To the Imperial Valley Press:
In an article in the Press of Nov.
10 there is the statement that "the
colored janitor of the high school re-
ceives salary of ,S175 a month, yet
there have been lively discussions to
the effect that certain county officials
were not worth more than 5000 a
month"
Permit me to say that there is not
and has not been colored janitor en-
ployed at the high school this year.
The present janitor receives his sal
airy for all the janitor work of both
buildings and the care of the furnace,
hiring his own help.
Last year two janitors were en-
ployed for this work, costing the high
school over 5000 month.
