the financial situation of the allied
goverlments and the need for the ap

Aloxander Ribot. former premier and
minister of finance, turned to the
problems confronting France.
"Our national debt has grown

demobilization of the army," he said.
"Nearly 2,000,000 men, the flower of
French manhood, have either been
killed or rendered unfit for participa
tion in tho activities of the country.
This loss in man power out of about
40.000.000 inhabitants, Is more keen

ceased to grow before me .
We cannot hope to repair these
losses, as can countries like Russia,
