PARIS IS FACING
BIGDEBT PROBLEM
Owes 67O,OOO,OOO Francs
and Must Make Large
Increase In Taxes
BY YVES GUYOT
nv CShle - me rribunsl

Paris, Jan. 1.-The question Of
financing the city Of Paris in 1917
has become a pressing problem. The
floating debt of the city now amounts
to 670,00O,000 francs. There are
two methods suggested for handling
the problem, both providing for the
amortization of the floating debt and
system Of new taxes.
The first method is to take up the
floating debts by an issue Of five
year bonds which will carry over to
better times, when permanent solu-
ton may be found. This would re-
ouire the addition Of 100000
francs to the annual budget, besides
which. IL IS figured. there already is
an annual budgetary deficit Of 49,
600 900 francs. Thus a total Of 80
600. 600 francs would be required to
be raised by new taxation.
The second method puts off the
handling Of the question until Janu-
srv /. 1918. when il is estimated that
the floating debt will be an even
billion. The issue Of long term bonds
would be made at lower rate and
the annual charge put at the same
fgure-41, 100000 francs. But this
method figures that the budgetary
deficit will be O4,0oo,oo0 francs,
thus requiring the raising Of 146,-
100000 francs by new taxation.
The cinemss are hard hit by a new
tax bill Already adopted by the Cham
her Of Deputies and now before the
Senate. The bill provides that the
government shall take one-fourth Of
the receipts Of all cinemas-s
total Of more than 100000 francs
monthly.

Our New Relations
with Bank of England

Discussing the action Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board in approving the
appointment of the Bank Of England
as agent in London for the Federal
Reserve Bank Of New York. the Ma
tional City Bank in its January cir
cular states that it
does not, upon its face, have any spe-
cial significance at this time. The
Federal Reserve act contemplates
that such arrangements will be made
in all important countries for the
handling OF exchange transactions
and with a view TO controlling or
modifying the movements Of gold in
ordinary times. It has been common
practice for the central banks of issue
to have q portfolio Of foreign bills
for this purpose. The present times,
however. are extraordinary, and the
gold movements are upon scale be-
yond any ordinary measures OF con-
troll
The Newspaper reports from Wash
inrton which accompany the an
nouncement connect it with the
boards disapproval Of the British
Treasury bills, as though it might be
regarded as in some degree compen-
satorv. or serviceable to the same
end. Mere trading in foreign eN-
change win have no effect upon the
situation. but, Of course, to whatever
extent the reserve banks will buy and
carry commercial bills on London
they will accomplish the same pur.
nose that the Treasury bills would
have ACCOMPLISHED The latter were
10 be government obligations. and
although issued as p means OF paying
for purchases in this country, would
not have been directly related 70
them in such way as to make them
eligible for purchase by the reserve
hanks. On the other hand, CONNER
cial bills may be purchased by the
reserve banks. either from the mem
her banks or in the open markets OF
this country or abroad. The Treas
urv bills would have been payable IN
+his country in terms Of dollars, but
commercial bills on London, unless
issued under special arrangements
will be In terms Of sterling, and sub
iect to any fluctuations in the eX-
change rate which may occur before
they are liquidated.
