tion. These statistics as to production of iron ore are
the latest available, and are for 1913, the last year
before the war:--

Germany (of which Alsace-Lorraine pro-
duces 1,136,265) 		28,607,903
France (of which Briey Basin produces
12,699,240 for 1912) 		21,714,000
England 15,997,328
United States 61,980,437

From this table it will be seen that three fourths of
the iron ore mined in Germany comes from Alsace-
Lorraine. According to these statistics if France gets
back Alsace-Lorraine the production of iron ore in
Germany would be 7,471,638 tons and in France
42,850,265 tons. Should Germany keep the Briey
Basin which she now holds, the production in Germany
would be 41,307,143 tons, and in France 9,014,760
tons.

In quoting from various authorities I have not tried
to reduce the statements to identical terms as to terri-
tory and tonnage. The statistics given herewith are
accurate if we deal with what is known in France as
the Briey Basin. The settlement of the question of
Alsace-Lorraine is not as simple as if it were a mere
matter of scenery.
