The sale of surplus supplies by the American expeditionary force to the French government is an excellent bargain for France. There is the strongest evidence that the French and American governments are pre- pared whole-heartedly to co-operate to their mutual advantage in work- ing out the problems. of peace. The French papers are full of praise for the American government which donated to the French government the docks, waterways, railways, bar. racks, and power plant valued at 15 millions of francs.
