BLACKSTONE HYDRACTOR.
BARNESBORO, PENNA.
Of France Governed on
Small-Town Set-up.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The recent
attempted general strike in France
calls attention to the complex so-
cial and economic set-up that or-
dinarily runs the affairs of ‘‘fifty-
million Frenchmen’ and their huge
colonial empire.
‘As an individual European state,
France is a compact geographic unit
organized on the ‘home town’ eco-
nomic model,” says the National
Geographic society.
“Few French cities have a popula-
tion of half a million. Small scale
and varied industries are wide-
spread over the land, some 90 per
cent of all French factories hiring
less than 100 workers each. National
activities, almost equally divided
between farming and business en-
terprises, are largely in the hands
of petty property owners.
Rules Territorial Giant.
“Yet this nation of proverbial
‘stay-at-homes,” with a reputation
for caution, thrift, and domestic
skills, is nevertheless the head and
brains of a territorial giant whose
members make up a foreign do-
main second only to that of Great
Britain. Like the British empire,
although little more than one-third
the area of that colossus, French
colonists and dependencies are scat-
tered about the world’s continents
and most of its seas.
“France itself occupies an area of
something more than 200,000 square
miles. It is the third largest nation
in Europe; while abroad, the tri-
color flies over an empire more than
20 times the size of the mother
country, including an estimated 65,-
000,000 people of many races, creeds
and cultures.
“To France—handicapped at home
by searcity of coal and other raw
materials—these far flung posses-
sions present a tremendous reser-
voir of still-untapped economic
wealth.
“The roll call of French posses-
sions, dependencies and mandates
around the globe reads like the
index to a gazeteer. In north, cen-
tral and west Africa are Algeria,
Morocco, Tunisia, the French Congo
(or French Equatorial Africa), Sene-
gal, French Guinea, the Ivory
Coast, Dahomey, French Sudan,
Mauritania, Niger, and Dakar—to-
gether with French Somaliland, a
small patch of land on the east
coast, and the major portions of for-
mer German colonies of di
and Cameroun, under the bulge of
the Great west African shoulder.
‘Under mandate, with promise of
early self rule, are Syria and Le-
banon in the Near East. In north-
ern South America is rich, sultry
French Guiana, with its penal set-
tlement ‘Devil’s Island.’
“Such oriental tongue twisters as
Pondichery, Karikal, Chandernagor,
Mahe, and Yanaon are French
specks on the map of India; while
Cochin-China, Annam, Cambodia,
Tonking, and Laos making up
French Indo-China, plus Kwangcho-
wan, leased from China, are other
Asiatic possessions.
“To all these far-flung continental
regions must also be added a
French island empire that dots open
water from Corsica in the Mediter-
ranean and New Caledonia and
New Hebrides in the south Pacific,
to Miquelon and St. Pierre in the
North Atlantic, and Martinique and
Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
“Madagascar, off the coast of
southeast Africa, is something more
than an ocean ‘dot’ of French terri-
tory. Bigger than France itself, and
world’s fourth largest island, it cov-
ers an area of some 240,000 square
miles, with more than three million
“In the French colonial empire
are found most of the earth’s prod-
ucts needed to carry on modern in-
dustry or warfare. During the World
war her colonies contributed to
France an estimated half million
soldiers and workers, together with
millions of tons of supplies.
“Today, France seeks one answer
to pressing economic problems at
home in new and intensified drives
to tap the resources of her foreign
domain. The French Colonial office,
according to news accounts, is now
carrying out plans to build up
trade, improve local politics, provide
for the empire’s defense, and in
general develop its vast potential
wealth in materials and markets.”
