CONDITION OF FRANCE
WORSE THAN INDICATED. - (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, September I. Mr Cox, cx-Govornor of Ohio, Republican candidate for the Presidency, addressing the American Luncheon Club, declared that France’s condition was worse than tlie people of France indicated. He was an optimist, and thought things would work out all right provided European statesmen meet their task with the same vigilance and fidelity os heretofore. The backbone of France lay in tlie sanity of peasant public opinion. She had raised enormous sums internally on the promise that tlie liability would eventually be met by German indemnities, and unless the question of reparations were settled, there would be an economic collapse, and the franc would follow the mark. He paid a tribute to Herr Ebert and Herr Wirlh. Germany had been living on the sale of marks in America and England before the war trade balances were against her.
