The countries beyond the seas have helped to a very great extent supplying the mother-land with food and raw materials. From the beginning of 1010 up to the first months d 1918, the total of raw material brought into France, under the direct control of the Colonial toin ster alone, rose to 1,817,000 fons of which $23,000 were augur; 248,000, oler ginous matter; 257,000, rice 48,000 plumbago; 41,000, Indian corn:-29,900, castor oil plant;:80,000 frozen meat and 19,000 tons of alcobol for powder. The Antilles and Reunion Island have sent over principally generous contributions cf. Bugar, rum, codes and cocon Dils has been supplied from the western coast of Africa; rice from Indo- China; plumbago, frozen meat and castor oil sent by Madagascar.

From a financial point of view, wesistance from, the colonies has been shown in two different ways off cially (by subscriptions to loans, and National Defence bonds and bille) and privately (by subscriptions to war charities and relief work). As early Be 1915, the general estimates for the budget of Indo-China were made to include, and spontaneously, all ex penditure made on behalf of the Wer Office, amounting to 11,087,000. france In September 1918, M Albert Sarraut, the governor-general, wwed a simular order in regard to 4 large purchases of alcohol used for powder, Treasury, advances to about a hundred million, france, with out interest, were made for the ex- penses of the mother-country in the Colony And lastly, not content with thebe proofer of loyalty, Indo-C contributed 9,237 787 fmiles towards relief societies for war victims, while Madagascar sent nearly 5 milion Western Afrgy threat
