France, The Slave

France, We all must realize, acts under the most terrible du- ress in everything she does now adays on the international stage Under the terms of her armiStice with Germany, she is obligated to provide 400,000,000 francs a day to meet the cost of the German Army of Occupation. These funds are provided by advances made by the Bank of France and paid into the German occupation ac- count. But the actual costs of oc- cupation are calculated at no more than 125,000.000 francs a day, or 275,O00,000 francs daily less than the German are receiv- ing. The balance of the excess oc cupation costs is not going to waste. The Nazis ar using these funds to buy up control of var ious French industries and of French holdings in the industries of other countries. This process results in the pumping out into the French economy of large neU sums of money for which no out let can b. found except in the form of subscription to Treasury bonds of the French Government. : AS result idle bank deposits have been piling up and interest rates have been falling.
 There has been a substantial increase in the volume of note cir culation. Estimates place the pro bable total by mid-March at 310,0OO, 10000 francs, which is an increase of 10000, ,0G0,000 francs, or 80 percent, over the circulation reported on June 10, 1940. About tWo-thirds of this imitation, it is calculated, can b charged to the activities of the German occupation, the balance being due to the failure of the French Government itself to find revenu-S to balance its expenses.
 The preponderant effect of the German occupation costs Is seen from the facts that the Vichy Governments propose d ordinary budget for the second quart-r o. th.s year is equal to only 250,- 090,000 francs a day, against the German occupation levy of 400,- 100000 francs a day. If there are 100000 German troops in oc- cupied France, Vichy is being re quired to pay out 400 francs day for each c. rmaa soldier, while its own budget allows only six francs day expenditure fo. each French civilian.
 R
 Thr entire situation is another ilIustation of the ruthless cum ming with which the Nazis have developed th#ir techniques of ec- onomic and financial aggression. France is being systematically mixed. The logical end of the process will be to find the Nazis

legs were somehow carrying me

close to my ordinary voice was say

Old Ben Kerry alone was not
