pitching as at least so per cent of the
battle and has operated accordingly in
developing and maintaining the best
mound staff in the National League.
His judgment. as to when a pitcher
Is ready, when he is weakening in the

French Secret of Prosperity Found
In Thrift and Agricultural SOlvency

portant. reason for French solidity,
however. It lies in the dominant char
acter Of the French people. A friend
recently said to me: The American
people know how to spend, the British
know how to lend and the French know
how to save" Another way of saying
that the average Frenchman has never
been intrigued by big profits or projects.
He prefers a modest job to taking a
chance on a fabulous one.
Nevertheless, Frenchmen pay heavy
taxes. The basis of their federal budget
is the average Frenchman, who pays
$50 a head. The average German pays
$40, the average American $27. Curl
ously, although the Frenchman pays
twice what the American does in taxes
the average French family today Is in
a much sounder economic situation
and it is impossible to escape the con-
viction that French habits Of hard
work and steady saving largely explain
this.
It is not by chance that France now
sits on top of the world, where hel
| voice mlust be listened to and she must
be looked to for cooperation or aid. A
happy balance between agriculture ano
| industry helped to do this. Installment
saving, not installment buying, also
helped to do it.

ject to criticisms from any part OF the
American public. They say 1t is public
business, and it Is public business. That
is one reason we have to be SO careful,
and at times so deliberate, to be sure
we are right before we go ahead. We
have to know that we are right before
we take step with which some per-
son, or group of persons, may find fault.
We are spending the taxpayers money
and we must be careful about it.
I'VE have attempted so to conduct
the affairs of the Office" he explained,
so as to meet any fair criticism with
equanimity. With all of the threats we
have received from disappointed citl-
zenS wishing to do something for the
Government for consideration, feel
confident that the repercuss1on VIII be
heard in Congress. AS a result, every
one in this work here in the Treasury
=, realizes that every decision made may be
subject to some sort of attack. This
hasn't been conducive, naturally, to
speedy action"
I'VE are confident" declared the
major, that we will be able to defend
cur record as 1t becomes necessary"
The building program which MAI.
Heath heads here in Washington is
making tremendous change in the
National Capital itself, but is providing
sorely needed facilities for Government
functions throughout the whole United
States, in every State and Territory.
The program was started back in the
time of President Calvin Coolidge, in
1926. 1t has been gaining Roadway ever
| since, with new authorizations and new
appropriations, until Congress. up to
now, has raised it to the gigantic total
of about $700,000,000 This includes
about $70,000000, which, it is hoped,
will be realized by the sale of old prop
erty.
Spurred by Depression.
The depression spurred this Federal
building program to sharper accelera-
| ton. It was President Hoover who
gave 1t this impetus with the idea that
accumulated funds and accumulated
building needs Of Uncle Sam could be
thrown into, action at the time OF the
Nations greatest need. Consequently
the big machine Is still speeding up
Contracts are being let at the rate OF
| about 10000, 900 worth month. The

grand total of $25,000,000, the biggest
month of contract letting in the his
tory of the Federal Government. 1t Is
likely that about 100000 900 more viii
be contracted the rest of this year.

picking both momentum and material

PARIS, November 22.-France is sit

question merits attention. We may
find it valuable to consider why
France is the only nation in Europe
economically and financially strong.
Why France still has a few hundred
thousand unemployed while Germany,
England and the United States have
their millions. Why France is actually
on q sounder economic basis than the
United States.
It Is a popular fallacy to dismiss
Frances contemporary power by say
ing, "Oh yes, France won the war.
Her immense gains in territory have
raised her today to the most predom-
inant position in Europe since Ma"
poleon."
Territorial Gain Secondary.
Factualy this explanation does not
hold ground. 1t is true that France
regained Alsace- Lorraine, thereby dis
tinctly increasing her natural resources,
but geographically, as historically, II
must be admitted the recovered prov
inces are now where they belong. CO.
lonially France received Iogolan y.
CAMERON and the Syrian mancate as
direct war spoils. This actually repre-
sents French territorial gain of 246,000
SQUARE miles out of total French
colonial possessions OF 100000 square
Therefore, whereas the war treaties
consolidated Frances political hege-
Rnony, they really increased her eco,

degree than Is generally supposed.
