general manager of masseyharris company ltd brings back from a tour of france the impression that that country will emerge from its harrowing experiences during the war and even harder limes in the next six months much stronger than its outside friends could have had reason to hope in the earlier years of the struggle mr duncan went to france in his capacity of chairman of the farm machinery subcommittee of the combined production re sources board of canada and the united states in all the districts which he visited and as a result of the best information he could get about other districts he believes agriculture to be in a fairly pros perous condition it had been thought that difficulties in the way of getting artificial fertilizers of which france has always been a great consumer would bring down output but does not seem to have done so pioperous franc farmers the french farmers have had very good crops during the war and have sold most of their surplus in france they continued to supply paris until dday and they were paid in french money prices throughout the war were for them on a steadily increasing scale and that applied as well to things they had to buy a great black market operated because rationed supplies of staple articles were not sufficient and prices in that market were higher still as everybody was forced to deal to some degree in that market the farmers did better than they had done before that is as measured by francs asked whether there were many shortages of staple goods mr dun can said with the aid of the black mar ket there was enough to eat the production of clothing was sub stantially reduced correspondents have referred to the general shab- biness of the french people over coats and other clothing for instance had been turned shoes were so short that wooden soles were used instead of leather this was particularly noticeable to me because i was born in paris and grew up there iri the workmens districts t did not notice much dif ference but in all the better dis tricts where i had been accustom ed to see well dressed people the difference was very noticeable transport problem great the great problem of france now is one of transportation the railways havebeen paralyzed by destruction of 4000 bridges the ports were in many cases put com pletely out of business especially where the germans established

wondered at that the events of recent months have pro duced an abundance of food and other products in rural districts and shortage of food in populous centres i found the same condit ions in north africa where high prices and a black market were directly traceable to difficulties in transportation imagine how canada would be if there were no outgoing mail and very little internal mail being mov ed in france efforts are now in hand to remedy that and in a few weeks there may be a great dif ference in my opinion france is going to have a six months period of great difficulty france coming back but six months from now i am confident there will be 3 great dif ference correct that fundamental disorganization and france will get to work again in a large way i think france is going to be much stronger and more influential in the future than commentators guessed some few months ago as to how far the government will go on entering business in france he said i found the de gaulle govern ment strong in popular favor it is not a communist government as some people on this sdc seem to think i would say that it has de finite socialistic tendencies i think it goes so far as to intend state ownership of certain public enterprises and mines but i do not think it intends to go down as far as business or industry france- i a country of small farm holdings and of numerous highly developed but small in dustries i do not think any gov ernment wciild attempt to get in between th- people and these as sets which they own and value bus we left the sun chief at lake city a junction 62 miles
