Paris. March 1o.-The French
ministry of finance. your corre-
spondent learns. has agreed with
Austen Chamberlain. the British
chancellor of the exchequer. to re-
pay part of the debts owing by her
to the United States out of the
5000. 900, 900 francs in bullion, which
was deposited with England at the
outbreak of the war.
This is Frances first effort to free
herself from her indebtedness to
America. This bullion was trans
ferred to London to cover any loans
she might contract in London, but
the British government, under the
new policy of financial independent
from America. has waived all it's
prior claims to the retention of thi.
gold.
This marks one of the most i'm
portant developments of the new
financial policy of France. Rapidly
giving up hope under British ad-
vice to expect anything from Ger
many, and expecting nothing more
in the way of assistance from the
United States, France is looking TO
herself at last as the means Iof her
own economic salvation.
The new loan, the purpose of
which is to restore devastated
areas, is said to be fulfilling the
most optimistic expectations, and
now the French ministry of finance,
which hitherto has been amazingly
haphazard in it's methods of col
lecting taxation, allowing the un-
scrupulous to profit by their dis
honesty, will become more striking.

to evade taxation in France as il is

poets that the revenue from taxes

Compromise Just Reached

London, March 10.-Europe has

in solving economic problems and in
considering political questions ex-
cepting. perhaps, those involved in
the peace treaty.
The result is that, despite depres-
sion among the liberals of Europe
and glee among reactionists. the
governments themselves have de-
cided that they must push ahead
with the great international tasks,
trusting that America will some day
see her way clear to international
cooperation.
England. France and Italy are do
ing the best they can to bring about
economic understandings but this
task is gigantic.
Compromise Unsatisfactory.
Judging from opinions which
hear about the economic manifesto
or memorandum il seems doubtful
whether even this agreement, which
is another compromise. will be sat-
isfactory either to Central Europe
or the Allies. France is so decided
ly opposed to the economic policy of
England and Italy toward Central
Europe that these nations have had
to reach an unsatisfactory COM
promise.
A reply by Bonar Law in the
house of commons to Commander
kehworthy may be considered sig
uificant. Law stated that while the
supreme councils decisions were as
published. still IL was hoped that
representatives of all countries
would have further opportunity for
examining questions at an interna-
tional conference. This may be ac-
ceptea as an Indication that the al.
lied powers intend to continue eco
nomic conferences indefinitely in

Confidence I'm League Growing.
While the Senate is on the verge
of executing the league of nations

eral European governments are
asking the league to undertake i'm

ference on economics, armaments,
poison gas, naval programs. etc.
Some of the leagues European de-
tenders believe they can get the
league at work en- these important
questions and demonstrate to Amer
lea what results are possible. That
may have a good influence upon the
situation there because I have met
