This is perhaps why she does not look down so regretfully as perhaps do other nations upon her unsatisfactory home supplies. France is indeed res hopeful of extracting large supplies of coal from Tonkin and Madagascar: both the latter are hal producing countries, while their why French economists are urgingiliose citizens interested in the coal industry to devote more attention to their colonies. France, actually requires 36 million tons of coal to meet her annual wants, whereas she only but profiuces 20 millions, according to the 1895 statistics To make good the lalance-eight million tons he is of course obliged to import the start. age from foreign countries; and is in demands tend to increase in this respect, owia to the home outputs being stationary, patriots urge the Government to take the necessary steps, so as to ensure the arkitional supplies from their own colonies.
