Appeals that the workers

impression on the public than

can to either avoid it or defeat
the enemy. But what has that
to do with France which feels
secure so long as the dread
"Boche"' is unarmed?
The billions spent by Amer

to change the attitude of the
French people. They have also
failed to bring about a con-

have helped build up a mod

have been lacking. But the
real benefits went to the
"haves."
There can be no mistake
that France continues to be
today one of the richest coun-
tries in Europe. But the state
is bankrupt and has little in
f1uence on its people. 1t is the
state which has pledged itself
to do so many things in the

But when American cash

smaller and the treasury was
empty. the State-that is to
say the government which had
the misfortune to be in Office
had to find some means to
gather more French funds.
An increase in the uncol-
