amounted to sl,3sS.72, making the
total subscribed $7,216 and leaving
a deficit of $12.7s4 from the $4,000
aimed for by Saturday night.
That the amount will be raised Is
expected confidently and should final
reports show a failure the disappoint-
ment, it is declared, will be all the
greater as it will also be surprise.
Mrs. Williams calls attention to the
fact that none of the money donated

one OF the leading iron and steel pro-
dncinK nations OF the world. and her
economic future may be expected TO be
greatly influenced by this vast source
OF wealth. From official and COM
mercial reports that are now coming
TO band some idea OF the significance
OF the new French Iron and steel IN
dustry may be derived
Prior to the war Frances iron ore
reserves were estimated at s.see,o
GEO metric tons whereas includina
AlSAce-I I.orraine. her iron ore deposits
are. now estimated at over $500 ,00o,-
600 metric tons. Due to the recovery
of 4he lost provinces the estimates
OF possible annual production OF
France shows an increase from the
21.elS, ,000, ,OO0 tons produced in 1918
to 4 possible 4S.000,0e0 tons. To state
from another angle the Importance OF
this territory to France. OF the ore

" half was in the two '1ost provinces.
Thus France will have a considerable
surplus of iron ore for export. For
the year Of 1878 iron ore contributed
$4,000, ,000 to the value of her export
trade.
Since the signing OF the arnistls~
the production of pig iron and its COM
merrinl uses have greatly increased in
France, partly owing to the turning
OF the steel producing centers from
war work to peace work and partly
owing to increased capacity due to the
great increase furnaces constructed
during the war. In connection with
this latter point the following figures
demonstrate this increase in the non
invaded regions: The number OF
Martin furnaces increased by "a per
cent; the number of conyerters by ia
per cent; the number of cruicbles BY
los per cent: and the number of elec-
trical furnaces by S per cent. The to-
tai annual steel tonnage producing
, capacity OF France as compared with
1914, has increased by 1.76n.0O0 tons

Development Of chemical Industry


Prior to the war France was
obliged to import large quantities OF
raw chemicals for her industries. Tht
main portion of these materials came
from Germany. From 1914 on. with
this source of supply cut off, the
French chemical industry found itself
obliged to increase production at a
tremendous rate to meet war needs.
At the signature of the armistice,
the problem of readjusting to a peace
production, the plants fitted for the
production of chemical products es-
sential to the manufacture of muni-
tions gases, etc, was attacked with
great energy. Added impetus was
given to the chemical Industries of the
country by the return of Alsace-Lor-
raine. The important potash and
magnesium deposits of Alsace were not
permitted to true development under
German rule in order to favor other
German deposits which were being
operated. The amount they were per-
mitted by law TO produce was limited
. to per cent of the total German pro-
duction, although deposits in Alsace
are composed exclusively of sylvinite,
whereas those of Germany are only
about so per cent sylyinite- These de-
posts can be estimated at 1.5o0.0Oo.-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-09-23

600 tons which contain about Ia
weight of pure potash. Since the
armistice the French Government has
aided in developing the Alsactian beds
under French control so that their
production has considerably increased,
1t is estimated that the output of pure
potash will increase to 100000 metric
tons in 1921 and to $4,000 metric
tens in 1929. The necessity of inn
porting chemical products on a large
scale no longer exists, and surpluses
for export are now the rule rather
than the exception. France will now
be able TO export, in quantity. chloride,
salts of potassium and ammonium, as.
well as sulphuric acid.
shipping
The French merchant fleet 1estimat-
ed at 2,49S. 900 tons on August /, 1914
was reduced during the war to 1,44s,-
900 tons. In the year 1919 there were
constructed and purchased abroad
sufficient number of tons TO give
France approximately the same tom
mage as previous to the war. To this
must be added the tonnage of German
ships eventually to be allotted to the
several shipping companies by the
Government. The present shipbuild-
ing scedule calls for a construction of
1.255.o00 additional tons by 1922.
Foreign Trade
For the five years preceding the
war France had an average annual un-
favorable visible balance of trade of
some billion and half francs. This
was more than offset by invisible
items such as the interest on foreign
investments occurring to France as a
creditor nation. During tho war the
purchase of vast amounts of war ma
teriaIs caused a great increase in the
unfavorable balance which continued
after the war. 1t is to be noted. how
ever, that during 1919 exports reach
ed the record figure of S,713.000.0 1000
francs, some 2 billions above the pre-
vious high figure in 1918.
Since 1919 exports have shown a
steady increase. The monthly average
for the first seven months of 1920 is
y 1-2 times that of 1919. During the
same period the rate of increase in
imports has fallen off, resulting in a
81 per cent decrease in the adverse
trade balance.
The increase in imports of indus
trial raw materials points to still
greater volume in the export of man
ufactured articles. which class already
shows a balance favorable to France
and is increasing in an impressive way.
Exports of these manufactured arti-
cles, which increased ITS per cent
during the first half of 1920 over the
corresponding period in 1919, have
been:
