Duncan, president and general manager or Massey -Harris 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 times in the next six months mlucli stronger ;lien its outside friends could have had reason to hope in the earlier years of the struggle. 1VIr. Duncan went to France in. his capacity as chairman of the. Farm Machinery subcommittee of the Combined Production Resources Board of Canada and the United States, In all the distrcts 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 prosperous oonclition. It hacl been thought that difficulties it the way ot getting artitiolal fertilizers, al which . France bas always beau a great consumer, paid in French • money. Prices not seem to have done so. Prosperous Franc Farmers ' The French tanners have had very good. crops during the war and have sold most of their supplies in France, They continued to supplY Paris until D -Day and . they were glad in French money. Prices througnhout the war were for them on a steadily increasing scale and that applied ;as well to the things they had • 10 buy. A great black market operated because rationed supplies of staple articles were not sufficient and prices it that market were higher still. As everybody was formed to deal to some degree in that market, the farmers did better titan they had done before, that IS, as measured by Francs." Asked whether there 'were many sltorta.gee of staple goods, Mr, Dun - tan said; "With the aid of the black market there was enough to eat, The pro. duction of clothing was substantially reduced, Oorrehb011dents hays re felted to the general shabbineee of the French people. • Overcoats and other clothing, for 111Stande, had been turned.

Transport Problem Great "The great problem of France now is one of transportation. The rail- ways have been paralyzed by dei. unction of 4;000 bridges. The ports were in many cases put completely out of business, especially where the. Germans established pockets ot resietanee. There were 3.60,000 rail- way trucks in 1939, now 34,000;, and in 1939 there were 6000 locomotives, now 1200 or much less because A lot of these were taken back into Germany where transportation prob. Isms are also acute." i In their retreat the Germans requisitioned everything on wheels: horse-drawn carts, . motor cars, trucks, anything they could get. With all this destruction of rail- roads, canals telegraph and tele- phone lines added to by sabotage from the imdergrouund it is scarcely to be wondered at that the events of recent months have produced an abundance of food and other pro-, ducts in rural districts and short- 1 ages of food in populous centres. I found the same conditions 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. oved. In France efforts are now in hand to remedy that and in a Yew weeks there may be a great differ- ence.„ ,In my opinion France is , going to have a six months periodof great difficulty. As to bow Lar the Government will go on entering business in France, he said: "I found the de Gaulle Govern- ment stronger in popular favor, It is not a Communist Government. as some people on this side seem to think. I would say that it has definite socialistic tendencies. , 1 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 Lar as business or industry. France is a•country of small farm holdings and of numerous highly de- veloped but small industries. I do not think any Government would attempt to get in between the people and. these assets which they •own and value." • France Coming Back 'But six months from now, I am Have your EYES ProperlyCared for NOW 1 i S Fd F.
