republic has an empire flung around the world just as has Great Britain In fact, it is second only to Brit aims. DYNAMIC HANDEL
 GETS THINGS DONE
 For some years now the French Minister of Colonies has been the dynamic Jewish statesman, Georges Mandel. This man has a record fol getting things done.
 During the first world war;. Man. del was the right hand man ot Georges Clemenceau, when that great Frenchman took the helm as the war-winning Premier. Later on in his career, Mandel became Min ister of Posts and Telegraphs-a job like that the American Postmaster General. As such, he completely re- vamped that very poor service and made it highly efficient.
 Mandel had no sooner become Minister of Colonies than he bent all his energies to make sure that the colonies could and would give ample. support to the mother coun. try if and when she again had ar hour of trail.
 According to recent French figures the needs of France can be supplied by the colonies in the following amounts: Rice, 100 per cent; cacao 100 per cent; bananas, 100 per cent; Indian corn, 100 per cent; sugal cane, 100 per cent; tea, 100 per cent; vegetable oils, 100 per cent; meat, 8( per cent; coffee, 40 per cent; rub. Der, 100 per cent; nickel, 100 per. cent; chromium, 100 per cent; man. ganese, 30 per cent.
 Tignres have not been given, but the French colonies also produce much cotton which France would uso for the manufacture of high explosives, and great deal of wool for clothing.

SQUALLS TRAGEDY
 STUDIED BY COURT
Scene Staged on Board Sister Ship Before Naval
 Inquiry Court

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 21.-(UP) The operation which may have sent 26 men to their deaths when the submarine Squalus sank May g was re-enacted yesterday aboard the submersibles sister ship, U. s. s. Sculpin, for the naval court of in- quiry.
 Tests will be made aboard the Sculpin, berthed at the navy yard. The high induction valve will be op- erated in various ways to show its effect on electric signal lights which indicate whether the underseas craft is ready for dive.
 Faulty operation of the lights was cited as possible reason for the disaster during a preliminary hear ing. A civilian designer, Henry Reu- thers, testified yesterday there was "a possibility that the valve failed to close properly though the signal board indicated it was closed"
 Lieut.. William T. Doyle, Jr., of Baltimore, acting diving officer when the Squalus sank in 40 fathoms of water off the Isles of Shoals, testified that signal board lights in- dicated the valve was shut.
 However, Commander A. I. Mo- Kee, planning officer and member of the construction corps, told the court that when he inspected the valve after the Squalus was dry- docked, he found 1t in proper oper ating condition. He estimated that reconditioning the 30,000 submar- inc would cost $1 00,000.
 Press Is Praised
 Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 2l.-(UP) Rear Admiral Cyrus w. Cole in a report to the Navy Department, praised the press for its handling of the story of the Squalus disaster and salvage work.
 Cole said the closing of his re- report read:
 T feel the attention of the Navy Department should be called to the excellent and helpful cooperation of the press. They gave news to our people in its true light, with fair ness and justice to all.
 T feel the prestige of the Navy has not suffered at their hands, but has been in fact, increased. The press should be commended for their attitude throughout the op- erations."
