FRANCE BEGINNING NEW YEAR WITH MUCH
 MORE CONFIDENCE

PARIS, Jan. 13.-France began the new year with far greater confidence than the last This is in spite of formidable handicaps such as the balance of trade running against her at the rate of about 1,500,000,000 francs month about 50 per cert depreciation of the exchange value of the franc and the consequent diff ficulty of procuring raw materials and machines; urgently needed for reconstruction.
 Frances renewed confidence is de- rived directly from the result of the recent elections. These are regard cd here as having definitely stabil- ized internal politics, ended all dan ger of revolutionary agitation for some time to come and brought about a better attitude by capital and labor toward the immense effort be- fore France.
 Money is forthcoming for invest ments in anything that promises stability. While investments in short term treasury bonds are continuing at the rate of nearly 2,000 100000 Of france month. there is plenty of money for industrial and commercial enterprises and long-term ioanh.

They say this is shown by the fact that before the war three-fifths of her exported goods were manufactured objects and that this proportion must be increased in the future to make up for the loss of the market for wines and spirits in America and Russia which former ly constituted the important share of inc total of Franch exports
