Excerpt from Out of the Ruins
France has borne the brunt of the war. Over of her best men have been killed - nearly half of the total lost by all of the Allies exclusive of Russia. From being a creditor nation to the extent of thirty billion francs, she has become a debtor nation for a like amount. Her best industrial and agri cultural districts have been held by the enemy. Her foreign loans have yielded nothing; her best internal revenue has been cut off; her fac tories and mines have almost all worked for the war; she has exported little; the foreign ex change has been constantly rising against her. Over half of all the destruction in the allied countries is in France alone and much the most difficult half at that.

Excerpt from Out of the Ruins
In the preparation of this book, as comparatively few printed documents exist in which the facts about devastation and reconstruction are given, I have been obliged to collect most of my data at first hand through interviews with government officials and others who are particularly active in reconstruction work, and by making trips of observation from time to time through the devastated regions. Everywhere I have been met with the greatest courtesy. Busy and overworked public servants of every grade have shown an eagerness to help me secure the needed facts. I cannot express too strongly my appreciation of what they have done to make this book possible, and I wish to take this occasion to thank them for their generous collaboration.
