Paris. France. Nov. 2 .n one of the busiest thoroughfares in Paris, between the Rue de Petits Champs, buried under 96 feet of solid rock, 'are the impregnable vaults that house France's gold reserve — the richest treasure in Europe. I It is estimated that France now (owns thirty per cent of t*lie world's ; supply of the precious metal, its stock being second only to the gold owned by the United States, and in this age when gold is regarded ‘as the life-blood of nations. France ■ protects it as such. legends related in Paris about the stronghold wherein reposes the country's gold reserve are fantastic, ?>ut actually the truth is still ■ 'more so; for the vaults are even I more impregnable than the famous Verdun forts that withstood the 'continuous assaults of German's mightiest artillery and man-power jtor over four years. 1 The greatest secrecy surrounds Ithe system of defense which pro- | tects the gigantic treasury, but in certain cases visitors are permitted ,to inspect the vaults under guard, i One can see the yellow ingots of I bullion neatly stacked on steel shelves. They lie in piles ot five, (each ingot weighing twelve kilos I 126.5 pounds and estimated at . 290,000 francs per ingot. , Bat that is all ths visitor can

see; gold and steni walls. The intricate system of defense remains a mystery to him. as it does to the rv.-t of the world with the exception of a few engineers. . Access to tlie vaults is gained through steel doors, weighing eight tens each. Steel-walled corridors and winding staircases form a lab yrintli that without the armed guide at one's elbow would prove impossible of negotiation. Officials of the Banque of F rance claim that sliould a riot' occur in Paris, the hank would be in a position to go into a state ot ; siege and resist ail attacks for several weeks. In less than half, an hour all the institution’s execu-1 tives and employes would be in the vaults, where emergency offices are ready to receive them. Here, tlie staff could be housed and fed. Provisions are always kept stocked i and kitehens are in readiness for the preparation of meals. Sleeping accommodation is also provided for. la the event of war. no shell or bomb as yet devised is powerful enough to penetrate the 96 feet ot rock that tops the steel roof of France's Aladdin's Cave, and not only that, but the danger of access to the vaults being gained by tunneling was also foreseen and guarded against.

chest of a nation is surrounded by water. When the engineers who built tlie stronghold made their survey for the site of the vaults, they discovered the subterranean river of the Grange Bateliere and diverted its course into several tributaries that form a" water jacket around the country’s cash-box. It took two year.; ot labor by 1.2V0 men. working night and day, t ocarve out the setting in the living rock to accommodate the vaults and the cost of construction is estimated at $5,000,000. Since their completion in 1927, a steady stream of gold has flowed into their hungry maw from other countries, particularly the United . States and Germany, and the ac-| cumulation of precious metal is | steadily growing. Jt is said that) all France's gold travels one way—j down to the vaults of the Banque' lot France. That be as it may, one wonders j what France will do with all the | gold if. and when, she controls the world supply. Gold may be the life-blood of a nation, but any j physician will teU you that blood, to be beneficial, must circulate. When it ceases to move and collects in one spot nothing but disaster can follow. So one is inclin-i cd to believe that it would be far' better for a nation to suffer front a mild form of anaemia.
