WANT ALLIES TO
POOL WAR COST
French Budget Committee Ask
for Interallied Loan Board
to Solve Problem.

p AIS, Feb. 2s.--After long discus
sion Of the financial position OF France
1es revealed by a compilation OF her war
damages and otherwise, the budget COM
mittee OF the Chamber OF Deputies last
night reached the conclusion that the
urgent question OF meeting Immediate
payments could be solved best, not by
new issue OF bank notes which would
only Increase the cost of living, but
through an interallied loan committee
The budget committee expressed itself
as convinced that Justfcg and interest
alike required that the Allies pool the
expenses of the war.
With regard to the proposed tax on
capital the committee expressed itself
with reserve. II held most strongly to
the view that the debt owed France by
the enemy should be formulated as soon
as possible and that the Peace Confer
ence should exact a payment on account
or the indemnity due to France from the
Central Powers, NJ the same time II
was set forth that the payment of that
amount would not relieve the Govern
ment from tho duty OF carefully study
ing the fiscal situation and proposing
such new taxation as was Indispensable
70 balance the budget. which would be
not less than $4,000, 900, 900 francs.
These conclusions were approved
unanimously by the committee and its
chairman was instructed to set forth the
financial situation to the Chamber at the
earliest possible date.
