cr France also includes Berber Af-

lshcd the brilliant civilization of Car—
thage. Home and Arabia. And it in—
cludes the Indo-Chinesc delta. a
land admirably suited to the task
of sustaining grnat masses of human
beings and in which the cultural
movements of China. and India have
met.
"No longer are all the great

"There would be small error in
adding to the 40,000,000 French of
Europe over 50,000,000 other people
who live under the French flag. Let
us set. down. then. that; Greater
France consists of 12.000.000 square
kilometers of territory-and contains
about. 100,000,000 inhabitants.
“I do not need to dwell on the
40,000,000 who live in Europe, and
who unfortunately propagate their
race very slowly.
"Turning to the rest. it is first
necessary to classify separately the
million Europeans who have settled
in Northern Africa. They are not all
French. There are important con~
tingents of Spaniards and . Italians
among them. Even among those
classified as French are included
persons who have ‘been naturalized
and their children. But these dif-
ferent Mediterranean elements, 'it
we except. perhaps, the Italians of
Tunis, soon become French through
the influence of the schools and the
process of civic life. Thus. less than

Minted coins are blinding things. so'
, are pomp and creeds.
Let. us find some golden bloom shin-
ing through the weeds:
Let's go wandering, not as men, cy-
nicai severe.
But as once we used. to do. seeking
, gladness here.
Let us go a-wandering, where the
joys await: ‘
Let us turn away from strife. turn
away from hate.
Let us talk, our dreams again, let's
forget. the wrong. ' 2
Let us be ourselves awhile, wander-
ing slang.

The Financial Situation.
Active and prosperous ,Christmas
trade has been the dominating fac-
tor of the business situation of th-
country during the past week. my
James B, Clews. in his weekly sum
man: It reflects the general“ ‘
wholesome and satisfied condition 0‘
insures the foundation for latvr pm.
ductive operailons. since it forlJ-i‘
the. development of any serious eon-
gostlon or lack of distribution. \Vitl:
goods being sold as freely as that:
arc. a satisfactory demand for ncw
output should manifest itself as 800':
as the holiday quiet is over. This
those who wish to forecast probabzv
conditions in the securities market.
If it wcr cnot for the political un
ccriainty of the timq business 0;.
ditlons would be regarded as no
usually satisfactory. ;
Reports of business conditions fc‘ *
the year—end show a generally fa
arable situation. Demand for at ~-
tmd steel products is always rcla
lively light it this season. but book-
ed orders in some branches of Cir:
trade are understood to be iniprov-
ing. An advance in the price of
crude oil seems to support the View
that the end of the depression in
that- product is either at hand or
has been passed. Automobile or-
ders continue excellent. especially
when the season of the year is con-
sidercd. and the new scale of pric-‘s
shows no "disposition to advan-‘c
charges to the consumer. a, fact
which makes for wide distribution
Government authorities now fore
cast a balance of trade in our favor
for the year of 8263.000.(i00 on mot-
chandise account. while the inflow
of gold continues to bc. very uctiva .
An increase in the value of agricun- .
lug-oi products as compared wttb‘:il
year ago amounting to ncarly :91 l ..
000.000 is now definitely rt‘portcd!
by the agricultural authorittvs :ili
W'ashingtcn. and gives the kcy to
the improvcmcnt in the condition at
the farmcr. which has bccn vaguely
foreshadowed or assorted for sum:
time past. Employment. angelic.
slightly off. as is usual at, thi. ten»
son. remains gem-rally very good;
Tltc‘closing of some textile mills am.
other establishments for a bric! per-
iod. which is customary at the turwL
of the year. does not indicate ans
change in conditions, although ”1::
high price of cotton has iizuurall.r
