FOOD FOR ACTORS
Distribution Among Former Famous Artists Commences In Moscow
 By U. S. Relief Administration

London, June 12.-Distrbution of food packages provided by the recent Chauve Souris benefit in New York, has begun among Moscow actors, and hundreds of artists with hand carts or carrying sacks or boxes, are crowding counters of the American Relief Administration food remit tance department, located in the once famous Hermitage restaurant of Mos COW. Each applicant gets 11S pounds of plain American food.
 Among them are such distinguish ed artists as Soumbatov, Stanislavsky and Legkovskaya, names as we'll known in Moscow as Barrymore or Sothern is in New York.

Copper and oil are two commodities
which France will never be able to
produce in sufficient quantity on her
own territories. She must buy them
outside of France. She demands about
10,000,000 barrels of oil year, which
is equivalent to the output, of the Ru-
manian fields at present. However, the
tendency will be to depend in large
measure for oil and copper on the
United States, according to The Trib-
une's information, with the view of
balancing this trade with specialized
French exports.
While it would naturally be impossi-

~ NE Of the few really new
Al "a weapons which the late war
X " developed was the tank.
Credit for this invention has
been claimed in many quarters--no-
tably for Winston Churchill, now Colo
nial Secretary, who was said to have
submitted it to Mr.. Asquith on January
5, 1916.
Now "The Morning Post" has come
forth with claim for Lord Kitchener
and a Captain Bentley, under whose
joint auspices, the newspaper asserts,
the first tank was produced. The con-
troversy has come to light again
through the inability of Captain Bent
ley to obtain from the Tanks Award
Committee or the War Office any award
or compensation for his work
The real story of the genesis Of the
tank, according to "Thc Morning Post"
is this:
On October 1S, 1914, Captain Bentley
had just returned to England from
abroad to offer him self for war service.
The next day he received telephone
call from Colonel Fitzgerald, military
secretary to Lord Kitchener, directing
him to report at the War Office in
Whitehall. When he arrived there he
was taken to Lord Kitchener, under
whom he had served in South Africa
and to whom he was we'll known.
Kitchener, the story runs, greeted
him as follows:
Down stairs, in the quadrangle,
there's an armored car Woolwich has
made for me. It's the result of the
united brains of the army and navy
experts. We want it for this trench
lighting which they've begun in France.
Go down, have look at it and tell me
what you think about it.'
Captain Bentley and Colonel Fitz-
gerald inspected the car for about Ave
minutes and then returned.
"Well?" Kitchener asked.

grains, blooded cattle for stock ptir-
poses, and, naturally, the normal ex-
port of de luxe specialties such as per-
fumes, cosmetics, hats and gowns and
silks.
France now has about 100000 head
of cattle, as against 100000 before
the war. A million of these are found
in Algeria alone.
Part of Metallurgical
Works May Be Scrapped
The policy of "hermitizing" French
industries involves, perhaps, the scrap
ping of certain proportion of the
metallurgical works, for example the
steel industry, which is now capable

IA activity to her own needs
and subordinating almost
everything industrial to an
intensive development of agriculture
so that she may become self-con-
ssained naticn~-as nearly independent
of the outside world as it is possible
for any important country to he's a
new policy in France which will be-
ccne mere apparent as time goes on.
The Tribune is able to stste, at q
time when the new French policy be-
gins to take form, that, industrially
and commercially, France plans TO
drop out of the big postwar race for
an important place in foreign export
trade. This she will leave to the
greater and more firmly established
industrial nations; and by developing
her own resources fer herself, not
only in France but in the colonies,
and building up great agrarian in
dustry to which everything else is a
contributing factor, France ncpes 70
ask little by way of imports within a
short time.
The country is to-day dependent on
relatively small import list--cotton,
copper, oil and some wheat from the
United States: coal from England or
Germany, and coffee and tea.
On the export side the war saw
large industries spring up in France
which now produce surplus over the
country's needs and face the necessity
of throwing their products into world
markets in competition with the old
industrial trade nations. This post
war situation has given the French
the choice of two courses. They
must either continue to develop their
industries and plunge into the new
world conflict for trade or withdraw
almost exclusively into the business

line. Among the strongest is the ee-
mand of the French peasant farmer,
who is to-day the greatest political
force in the nation. He is organized
In far more powerful way than the
agriculturist element in any othe~
land.
There are $4,000 "agricole co-opera-
tives' and "syndicates' in France now
amaigamated into one association
clamoring for the intensive develop
ment of agriculture.
That the French government, from
the Premier down to the youngest
member of the Chamber of Deputies,
should support the will OF the French
backbone" is obvious from political
point Of view.
Another important reason is derived
from the taking of economic stock in
France four years after the close of
the big war and reducing the decision
to logic, otherwise known as horse
sense. Industrial development during
country offered the temptation, once
the machine was built purely for pur-
poses of war, to convert it into a peace
machine and get out in the road and
race it against the greater industrial
machines of old-estabIished industrial
countries for place in world markets
Nature has ruled since the beginning
Of time that Frances forts is not in
dustry on any grand scale but agri-
culture. She lacks the grand scale
requisites for large industry.
A third and possibly more vital rea-
son comes with the inevitable result of
industrial and commercial rivalry be-
tween nations. Frances desire is to
live in peace and prosperity without
rivalry. Nations become economic adj
versaries and history has shown that
economic rivalry can lead to more Sc
rious forms of contest. 1t happened in
the case Of Germany, who, before 1870,

half-perhaps by two-thirds.'
And, besides, the electrifcation af

duce the possibility of accidents, OF at
least make them less serious.
Statistics of Accidents
On Roads in Twelve Years
In this regard III. lie Trocquer gaze
the following interesting statistics d
all accidents that had taken place Or
the French lines in the last tyelw
yaers: The average number Of accidents
causing death and serious injury, frts
1910 TO 1915, were about 200 yess,
which annually caused about siztg
deaths and 500 serious injuries Dur
ing the war the number Of aecideRss
augmented considerably, so that in 1871
there were 332 accidents in Frans
causing 257 deaths and 965 serious IL
juries, and in 1918 there were 3Ts ae
cidents, causing $40 deaths and i,a8
serious injuries.
But since peace has been deelatsd
the statistics show an improvement, g
that in 1921 there were only seyensy
two accidents, causing 1877 deaths aad
eS6 serious injuries, and during tas
first six months Of the present year
1922, there were only fourteen ass-
dents, causing twenty deaths aud 100
serious injuries.
The superstitious Frenchman usually
says Touch weode when he speaks Of

touch whole forest, trusting that the
statistics for 1922 will continue to re'

upon the following basic principles o.

the name "tank" was first applied):
l. Front wheels not to be used for

returning to England in 1917.

What he did know, however, was that

for which the country is best suited.
The latter course will be pursued.
France is an agricultural country,
and the backbone of the country is
the peasant farmer. 1t has been
judged logical not to weaken the one
backbone in an effort to build another,
but TO strengthen the one vertebra to
a point where it will bear any weight
put upon it. Frances existing indus
tries therefore, become contributory
TO highly developed self-contained
agrarian France.
France Ready to Expand
Along Agricultural Lines
II is estimated that France can de-
selop her agricultural capacity from
two to possibly three times the pre-
war volume. This involves many in
dustrial moves. A special industry for
the greater production of chemical
fertilizer and modern agricultural i'm
plements must be built up to eliminate
the necessity of buying these abroad.
TransportationRa Railways, roads and
waterways must be improved and de-
veloped to high state of modern eff
ciency. An increase in motor truck
haulage is visualized and the electrifi-
cation of railways and industry in
wolves great projects to harness prac-
tically all of the country's available
hydraulic reserves. which project fore
casts n great network Of high tension
wires over the whole of France, even
to the eventual distribution of power
to every agrarian community, ena-
bling the farmer to operate his sta
tionary machinery-if he has such-or
to avail himself of electric operated
labor-saving devices which will shove
the ages-old hand methods into obliv-
ion.
Intensified agriculture in France
would rob the country of much of it's
picturesque methods, immortalized by
famous painters, but to modern France
