Excerpt from Food Production in France in Time of War, Supplementary Report to the Trustees of the Albert Kahn Travelling Fellowship, 1917 I take it that all readers of this report will have a general knowledge of the principles on which French administration is organised. The Central Government consists of about a dozen departments, the political heads of which form the Cabinet or Council of Ministers. The country is divided up into 87 departments and at the head of the administration in each stands a Prefet, te presenting departmentally (in the English sense) the Ministry of the Interior, and generally the whole National Government in so far as its activities or those of any of its departments concern the territory within his jurisdiction.
