French Antagonism Toward

In France any criticism Of her at

sentcd. Her argument that it has been

tnat seems to her convincing.

Of friction have risen between France
and England. Many people told me
on the part Of the French people gen.
orally there is less antagonism toward
Germany than toward Great Britain
and | am inclined to believe it is an.
proximatcly true.
The fact is clearly emerging that
the interests OF France and Of Grcat
Britain arc not parallel. England
would like to see Germany restored tc
her economic strength before the war
for she is her most important Cont
mental customer. In France it is de-
clared that Great Britain holds aloot
from the European situation and con
tinues to play her century-old politi
cal game of maintaining a balance Of
power.

France at peace is curious con-
ast to France at war. On the battle
cid she presented stubborn resist

.e face of any odds. that won for her
ringing applause Of the whole
orld.
Contrasted with that indomitable
ourage in war is state Of chatter
lg terror in peace. She seems so
esct with fear OF the future that her
entail processes do not register logi-
ally.
Demanding from Germany an impos-
bic indemnity, she seeks by other
Jeans to cntanglc her to such an ex-
~ ent that payment becomes douhly i'm
'ossible. Instead Of getting much. the
Niles are likely TO get comparatively

know it is quite possible to ex-
plain the French state of mind. They
have genuine cause for deep apprehen-

has nearly double The population OF

she is with vast industrial plants
which we're improved rather than in

the range of possibility that she will

stances where France nay have to

ties OF TIE result OF such a conflict

people.

Integrity Of Boundaries
Offers Ala rming Problem
France manages to keep an almost
perfect balance in the frame value of
her total imports and exports. If she
can provide enough food the situation
need not become absolutely desperate.
whatever financial difficulties may
develop. With yields such as were pro-
duced last year it is obvious that she
can feed herself. and that is al oX-
cecdingly important element in csti-
mating her future.
France, however. has one problem
for which nothing approNimating a
permanent solution has yet been found.
How can the integrity of her bounda-
ries be permanently guarantccd'
SO far rs Germany is concerned.
France had two aims that were not
compatible. She hoped to crush Ger
many so that she would be safe for
generations from rehabilitation Of
German military and economic power.
At the same time she wished TO i'm
pose upon Germany a war indemnity
which would approximate Frances
material loss during the war. She has
stubbornly attempted to gain both of
these aims. although success in gain
ing either necessarily means that there
is small chance of accomplishing both.
If Germany were SO crushed as 20 be
what Franco would regard as a safe
neighbor shc could not possibly pay
an indemnity which would meet
Frances view of what she ought TO
have. If rehabilitation in Germany is
permitted TO an extent that would
enable her to make the reparaton pay
mcnts TO France, Germany would be
come so industrially predominant that
she might become more dangerous from
military point of view than she has
ever been before.
Fer Franco, il Germany IS not
crushed, there remains the possibility
Of substituting an alliance which would
promise safety even with rehabili-
lated Germany a necessary part Of
such q program is to win the United
States to its support. and France is be
ginning to understand how difficult is
such project
In almost every country in Europe
to-day France is charged with being
imperialistic. Her ambitions in the
Near East have played no small part
in creating the present unhappy situa-
tion here. She has vigorously tried
to make strong buffer state OF po-
land. which would preclude any sort Of
unity Of action between Germany and
Russia. She has maintained an army
in the occupied districts of Germany
which her associates believe to be un-
warrantahly large, and she is keeping
up the largest military establishment
in the world.

National Thrift Gives
Lesson to the World

The French investing public is
unique. Ingraincd in the nature Of
the French people is the characteristic
Of thrift. Probably in no other coun-
try in tie world could finance min
lister feel the slightest assurance that
he could maintain floating debt Of
$4,000, 100000 francs and in addition
keep on constantly adding other bill
lions. Conservative, sober-minded
bankers in France believe, however,
that it can be done.
They believe that since nearly all
Of this $4,000, 100000 francs is held by
investors the renewal Of the oblga-
tions which mature month by month
can be counted upon by the govern
ment with certainty.
Practically everybody in Franco Is
an investor. The French are not pre-
pared to tako long term government OBJ
ligaNocs ct the present time, but they
automatically renew these maturing
short-term treasury loans and so keep
the market clear Of any unabsorbed d
supply. The public shows such COM
plete ability to purchase these renew
ais that it is not improbable that it
will absorb the heavy future obliga-
tions which the government will un-
doubtedly have to ncur
No one can say how long this will
go on nor predict the time when noat-
ing obligations can be funded and the

There arc many other examples Of

When tho fact reached tho attention
OF the British representatives. there
was a great row, not because the terms
were harsh, hut because arrangements
had been so nearly completed without
England being informed. The ncgo-

ances could be drawn from the official
figures of French government finances,
Frances Debt Has Grown
Rapidly Since Armistice
There is now domestic debt Of
ESQ 900 100000 francs and foreign
debt OF 1886 ,0O0.0 900 francs, which
ought rightly TO be multiplied by trans
lating it into terms Of foreign ex-
change, in which it must be paid.
The growth in the French debt since
tie armistice has been enormous, in
spite of the fact that budget state
ments have approximately seemed to
balance.
The total debt Of France in the nine
months comprised between January 81
and September 80. 1921. increased from
2230 .53S 900 900 to go S42 100000 francs.
There are other items that would, in
an accurate analysis, be added to this.
The growth OF the debt has been so
rapid that it has been found quite i'm
possible TO fund it into long dated OBJ
legations. The treasury has outstand-
ing short-term obligations of more than
60 900 900 900 francs Most of them
mature in not over six months and none
at later date than one year. This
amount alone is twice the total debt
of France at the outbreak Of the war.
1t may be recalled that Frances pre-
war debt was one Of the largest, per
capita, in the world, and was so press
ing that the principal prcoccupation of
the treasury was to find some method
Of funding the rapidly accumulating
floating debt.
An accountants examination, made
without knowledge of the internal stu
alton in France, would make the situa-
tion appear as hopelessly critical. The
single item Of a floating Cebt Of 65 ,000,-
000.0 francs would seem to present a
most critical situation, in which the
least jar to public confidence would
make it impossible for the government
to continue. Month by month it must
be renewed and investors must be con-
stantly found who are ready to take
new securities to replace those that have
matuTed.
The honor Of Franco IS engaged to
pay out within the next three years
10000, 100000 francs more for repara-
tons. On the surface the outlook ap-
pears quite hopeless. Nevertheless, in
reality, it is not hopeless.
