RISE OF FRANC CUTS FRENCH
 BUSINESS

PARIS, May 3.-"BeWare of Eco nomists' warns Le Matin. The rls- ing franc doesn't necessarily mean that with it will come a return to the good old days of normal busi- ness and cheaper prices. On the contrary the question is raised whether the improvement in the in- ternational value of French cur rency isn't as much of curse as blessing.
 The franc has improved one-third in one year. But prices in France have not only not followed the rate of exchange, as according to all good economists they should, but, on the contrary, the cost of living has gone up.
 But what is more serious,' warns Stephane Lauzanne in Le Matin, lis that as the franc improves the num- Der of francs we get for reparations diminishes.
 DECLINE IN PREPARATIONS
 "When the reparation total was fixed Frances share represented 21S,OOO,O0O000 francs, Today, because of the improvement of the franc, it amounts to only 1S0000,0O ,000. But if the franc continues to improve and returns to normal, France will have due her from Germany only S6,OO,OOO,OOO francs instead of 21S,- OO0,0OO,O00.
 Recently a distinguished French statesman, who has since become Treasurer of France, de Lasteyrie wrote: "The improvement of the francis exchange will mean only a feeble reduction of our costs, but will mean, on the contrary, a consid- erable reduction in the values to be received from Germany"
 Lauzanne goes on to point out that France by the return of Alsace-Lor- raine has become the second iron and steel country in the world, in stead of fourth as before the war. France must export huge quantities of these products or face tremen- dous unemployment and economic disaster in these industries, he says.
 'IF FRANC RESTS NOW"
 '1f the franc rests at the present level" asserts Lauzanne, 'eXporta- tion is possible because the foreign buyer is attracted by the advanta- geous price-in francs-of the metal But if the franc continues to climb, do you think that foreign purchasers will present themselves in crowds?
 "All this must be considered. If we are country of creditOrs-the great est creditors in the world-and of exporters. It is not good to have a | money too high, surrounded by coun- tries with cheap money-ask Eng land.
 We are also a tourist country, | flux of strangers it is not good to have a money which is too dear-ask Switzerland, which is dying because it's money is as high as it's mountain peaks The truth is that the more slowly and consistently our franc rises the better it will be for us. The franc is like virtue, it should be kept within reason"

PREPARATIONS QUESTION
AWAITS BRITISH VOTE
Eastern Decision Also Said to
Depend Upon Election.

80 far as the Near Eastern situation
is concerned. no important change in
the British attitude Is anticipated unless
the new Government. headed by Bonar
Law, fails to obtain n working majority
in Parliament as a result of the general
elections. which have been set for No
vember l5," according to the November
letter OF the The American Exchange
National Bank.
"A more important change OF front
by the British seems probable in con-
nection with the reparations question IN
the event that the Bcnar Law Govern
ment is returned. Reports suggest that
the difference between Bonar Laws
Government and that of Lloyd George
will be difference of manner rather
than method, but so far as reparations
are concerned 4 complete reversal upon
the vital point of cancellation of inter-
allied debts without reference to this
country appears probable.

ADDING new MACHINERY

Another new machine is being in
stalled at this office, which will en-
able us to produce work equal to
that turned out by the large city
offices. There has been a growing
demand among our customers for en-
graved and embossed work, and we
have been obliged to have this done
in Boston or New York, and of course
have had to pay the city prices,
which we might say, were SOME
prices in most instances. With this
new process machine, which is the
very latest thing in it's line on the
market, we can produce the engraved
and embossed effects and eliminate
the undesirable appearance on the
under side of the sheet heretofore
produced in all embossing and en-
craving processes. We will be able
TO supply our customers with the
very finest thing in the printing art
at about half the previous cost.
There will be no need for anyone to
even think of going elsewhere for
anything in the engraved line, as we
will be in position to furnish on
short notice, cards, announcements,
letter heads, wedding invitations etc.
in one, two, three or four colors, and
with any style of the newest type
designs. We feel that with the
addition of this machine to our al
ready up-to-date equipment, the
Opinion can boast of having one of
the most modern printing establish
ments in New England.
