FRANCE NEEDS MORE MONEY.
Government Wants Authority to Issue
$5O,O0O,OOO of Treasury Bonds

Paris, Feb 26.-The delay in voting the budget
has forced the government to introduce bill
providing for "a provisional credit for a months
supplies TO meet the March expenses. The bill
also asks authorization for the issue of $780,
900 600 short term Treasury bonds TO meet the
deficits in the 1901-'02 budgets The measure
came up in the Chamber of Deputies to-day and
led to an animated debate. in which the gov
ernment's financial policy was opposed and the
government itself sharply criticised. Finance
Minister Rouvier, i'll replying 10 the criticisms,
denied that the present government re-
sponsible for the country's financial situati ton.
Deficits, he said existed in all European coun-
tries except Italy, and how could it be otherwise
while the nations were seeking to extend their
military and naval powers to found new colonies
and at the same time introduce into their
finances thEories of human solidarity? NJ
Rouvier admitted that the issue of the Treasury
bonds was g sort of loan, but contended that it
was only a temporary loan. He pointed out
that between 1880 and 1000 nearly S4O0.O00OOO
of these bonds had been issued and all had been
redeemed 1t was never intended, as was
charged by the Opposition, he said, to propose
loan for $4,000 900 and he would not resort to
that expedent until he had done ali in his power
to avoid IL. There were now in circulation SIO,-
100000 OF Treasury bonds, while the Treasury
had in hand S36,0O0,0O0. He concluded by ask
ing for an immediate vote, and the Chamber
adopted the bill by $40 votes to 81. The debate
on the budget was then resumed, while the
Finance Minister hurried to the Senate, which,
after a brief DEBATE also passed the bill.
