SMALL NATION NOV FACES A
 MONEY CRASH

PARIS, June 24-Poland, which for several months has been attempting to borrow whatever she can get from Paris bankers, is in desperate finan- cial straits. The fear that the French government may loan money to the Warsaw government has resulted in press campaign to educate the French public as to the actual condition of their Eastern ally.
 "The general balance of receipts and expenses since the foundation Of the republic November 1, 1918, shows total receipts amounting to 1O2 billion marks and expenses of 325 billion marks. In other words, Poland faces a deficit of 222 billion Polish marks" says a French finincial news agency
 "Poland's external debt is more than 285 million dollars, America is tie principal creditor. Poland has been unable to balance her budget. The estimates for 1922 show 591 billion marks expenses against 459 billion marks receipts of the deficit of 133 billions
 "But Poland cannot increase her taxes. The minister of finance has recently been obliged to recognize that the taxes collected for the quar- ter ending the last of March were scarcely one-quarter of the bud get estimate. America and England have refused Poland a loan. She now turns to France asking a credit of 800 million francs. Our own situation demands that we avoid all waste, all useless expense. We have our devas- tated regions to reconstruct, our com merce and our industry to rebuild. And for these purposes we have not too many resources now"
