SIGNIFICANT REACTION
T. NOW NOTED IN FRANCE

Important changes in the attitude
ct the French people generally, re-
sulhng in 9 very rapid return to the
economic stability which WI one of
their chief characteristics before the
war; were noted by Charles H. Sabin,
president Of the Guaranty Trust COM
rany, who has just returned from a
trip to Europe as one of the most
interesting developments of the Eu-
ropean situation. T., !
In giving some of the results of his
observations there, Mr.. Sabin stated !:
T., Tbs" most significant reaction
noted in Europe during my brief
visit there was the rapid return of
the French people to their normal
HE and relations. The general let
down in national morale which fol-
lowed the ending of the war which
characterized France, as we'll as other
belligerent countries, seems to have
been completely overcome, and in
every important respect, national and
individual, France is on her way back.
Her new tax programme promises to
produce suicient volume Of revenue
to care for the national budget. Her
new government is a solid and sane
one, which is functioning most intelli-
gently in the emergency. Her people
have returned to their old habits of
thrift and productive effort, which
promise rapid restoration of eco
nolric stability. An increasing per-
centage of exports and lower per-
centage Of imports mark the change.
~ think it may be safely assured
that France has turned the corner of
her problem and, while of course
there are many grave questions left
unsolved before her, she will be able
to meet them,
HSuperficial judgments drawn
from the more or less sensational
discussions of current happenings in
the newspapers in either England or
France do not give real picture of
the fundamental soundness of their
situation and the manner in which
they are working back to normal.
The close relations we have developed
with these nations and the absolute
necessity of keeping our foreign
markets open to American products,
: as u basis for our own prosperity,
of course make their situation most
important to US, and it is reassuring
to find conditions there generally SO
good-in fact, much better than l
had been led to expect"

Laramie treaty Of 1858, and In snlte
Of The more or less energetic efforts Of
United States troops TO keep them out
In his report 10 the secretary Of the in
terror the commissioner OF Indian af.
fairs said:
In this complication Of affairs there
is but one alternative for the govern.
ment, either to increase the milltar,.
force so as to compel strict obsery-
ance Of the treaty rights of the Sioux
by preventing all Intrusion, or to put
such restrictions upon the exercise Of
the large bounty now granted to the
Sioux as to form an argument that will
be likely to procure their assent 10 the
eessiO7 Of this country"
Further complicating the situation
came the Custer massacre in Wyoming
In 1876. The people very generally de-
manded immediate action and the
Indian appropriation bill Of 1879 served
notice on the Sioux that no more sub
sistence would be furnished them IN
ID they ceded a portion OF their lands.

actly the same kind of work and are
not correlated and co-ordinated except
through congress.
In the regrouping Of functions
among the departments the interior
department would transfer the patent
office TO the department of commerce /;
the bureau of pensions TO the treasury
department; the bureau Of education
to the department of labor the freed
mans hospital to the public health
service. and so on.
Into the new department of public
works would be taken the supervising
architects office from the treasury de-
partment: the corps of engineers, riv-
ers and harbors. from the war depart
ment: the coast and geodetic survey
from the department of commerce; the
bureaus of good roads and of forest
service from the agricultural depart
ment, and so on.
OF course every department-except
perhaps the interior-will fight the bin
to tie last ditch.
