in order to modernize it and to get greater profit Spurred by criticism, the Government appointed a busi- ness mems committee, presided by Andre Citroen, the principal auto- mobile maker of France, which suggested reforms some of which have been adapted to the great advantage of the Governments pocket book.
 Great increase in smoking, aided by the active cooperation of wom- en, has helped the receipts, which have been growing rapidly each year while better methods have continued to reduce expenses.
 Probably a big factor in the im- menSe profit is the fact the Gov ernment owns warehouses, plants and equipment on which there are no charges and the Government pays no taxes.
