FRANCE AND ENGLAND
 ARE NEARING CRISIS
Chicago Banker Finds Political Con-
 ditions In Europe Alarming

NEW YORK, July 23.-Ihe sltu- ation between France and England lis nearer q crisis than ever before, in the opinion of George M. Reynolds, chairman of the Continental ana Commercial bank of Chicago, who returned on the LeViathan Monday after a five month trip through Flu rope. Fundamentally to this dangerous sit uation:
 Flrst-Lack of political stability.
 Secoud-Lack of that confidence nations should have in each other.
 Until France, England and Italy effect both stability and confidence they cannot hope to settle with Ger many, he said.
 Among Reynolds observations upon landing were:
 The economic situation of the Flu ropean individual is better than that , of q year ago, but government con diti0ns have not improved.
 England is getting her house in order better than any other country, meeting her obligations and handling her affairs in a businesslike way.
 'There is a growing sentiment in France to eVade the debt issue tenn porarily, or possibly permanently.
 We cannot help Europe out at present. She must simply go ahead and work out her own problems, while we must work out our own problems over here. Possibly, even tually, an opportunity will present itself so that we can really help.
 There are now now about 1,5O0,0 unemployed in England.
 "Agriculturally, France is in very good condition"
