FRANCE BEGINS NEW
YEAR WITH HIGHER
HOPES THAN EVER.
Renewed Confidence of PeO-
Pile Derived Directly From
Result of Recent
Elections

Paris. January 3.-France will begin
the new year with far greater confidence
than last. This is in spite of formidable
handicaps such as the balance of trade
running against her at the rate of about
1.bcoow,d0c francs month, about 81 per
cent depreciation of the exchange value
of the franc and the consequent difficulty
of procuring raw materials and machines;
urgently needed for reconstruction.
Frances renewed confidence is derived
directly from the result of the recent cleo
tons. These are regarded here as having
definitely stabilized internal politics,
ended all danger of revolutionary aglta-
ton for come time to come and brought
about a better attitude by capital and
labor toward the immense effort before.
