Paris, March 24.—However pressing
the problem of coal may be to France
in wartime, it will be even more-pres-
sing with the return of peace. Already
the government is studying possible
ways and means of freeing France af-
ter the war from bondage to German
coal. The industrial situatibn before
the war was continually, aggravated by
the fact that France had to depend on
Germany for so large a proportion of
her ‘supply of coal. Everybody In
France hopes that some way put of a
return to that condition of depend-
ency may bd found after the war.
The situation is complicated by the
French expectation that Alsace-Lor-
raine again will become French. The
return of these provinces would mean
virtually a doubling of the nation’s re-
quirements of coal, owing to the im-
