FRENCH REGENERATION.

For the hrSt time since August i'if
France is showing a favorable trade bal
ance Merchandise exports to othcr
countries for the first two months OF
1927 show an excess over imports OF
more than 49, million francs. This Is
the announcement of the French high
commission to the United States There
could be no better evidence of the reSil-
iency of the republic.
Despite the ruin of 50 per cent of her
steel industry and the ravaging of nearly
n quarter of her soil. France today is eX-
porting steel from her rebuilt plants and
i'm the matter Of cereals and potatoes is
almost self-surporting. The Frenchmcn
of the cities lave gone to work in shop
and factory; The French peasant. who
did not delay n his return from the war,
is buster thar ever before There is no
doubt about g economic future of the
country.
And France is not ncglccting her over
seas rcSpons iiltics. Railroad extern
,ions are arc dy under way in AlgierS,
unl- anu VI rocco. anu tluDoIut' poi'
improvements in Madagascar.
1t may be questioned whether any
country among the allies. except Belgium,
has made such genuine progress toward
reimbursement as has France. and this dcs-
ptc the fact that her proximity to an
unruly ncghbor has made advisable con-
| tinucd larg, military expenditures.
There have been no panicS such as Jap
ans. no gricvous labor troubles such as
have vpxcd the United kingdom, nj pro-
| longed depression such as this country
now experiences.
The French account for their fortu-
nate progress simply enough I'VE can
not afford to quarrel over wages or prof
it's" says distinguished French visitor
I'VE cannot afford to wait or philoso-
phize. W. must work. lest we be caught
unprcpared again. France has paid one
great war indemnity before and she does
not forget what it means, We have cS
capped indemnities this time, but there
are war debts to be paid. Now we will
show the world how France discharge,
such an obligation
If the republics favorable trade bal
ance holds up. it will not take as many
years to square the account as some sta
tisticans have been prophcSying.

While there is still considerable uncm'
ploymcnt it is believed that there is a
greater confidence on the part of the pub
lie and that they bought more freely OF
the necessities than they had been doing
in the previous two months Reports
show that there was an increase in the
production of milk in February, the same
as in other years. The increase
amounted to 100000 pounds for the same
II large dealers in Boston, but it was
materially less than the increase In sales
and the net surplus was reduced by 294,
600 pounds.
The decrease in the amount of surplus
| to be handled at cost would lead to net
increase in the return to the farmers. "a
the proportion of whole milk would be
greater. On the other hand the sluml
in the butter market in February, when
the price went down from - to 46 cents
per pound, caused decrease in the re
turn for surplus milk. February surplus
netted an average of S2.20 per hundred
while January surplus Melted S2.72 pc
hundred.

The secretary OF state says i'll his let
